Oh! OH! I just found the revolver to go with that 1892 .25-20 you sold me! Looks like it was custom-built. Did you have it done?

local fellow, an engineer, not a professional gunsmith, but more talented than most, did it. he had this gun at a local gun show,and a colt double action and a smith that he had converted, all of them in 25/20, relining the barrel and cylinder; the work is so well done, that i couldn't detect how he did it! a little haggling and he sold me the gun already converted for $325.00 total; i have has name somewhere and he might be persuaded to do another..... by the way he was trying to get the gun i sold you from me, but i wasn't willing to part with it back then
for the rest of story, the 53 i think has been refinished but is mechanically perfect, perfect bore, and shoots incredibly well.....local pawn shop sold me that one for $265.00!
years ago EMF imported a few special order 25/20 SAA clones, i should have gotten one.
now i need a revolver in 218 B to go with my browning 65.

has anyone tried a revolver in 218 Bee? i know taurus offered one, and maybe others do, though i would prefer a single action.

I agree - too cool - I have never heard of a 25-20 pistol.
