gold plated revolver cylinder

varian

at a gun show this weekend i picked up a gold plated, six shot, 22 magnum cylinder. i did a magnet test and it is made of steel but gold (color) plated. slightly too long for a ruger single six but very similar in size and design. only marking is .22 MAG. any idea what it might fit. i know thats not much to go on but was thinking the gold plating might give someone an idea.

one of the off brands, like heritage, had a gold colored revolver, sold locally at Kmart type stores back 80-90's.

Take a look at the out of production "FIE". Just sold one with a "gold finish" two cylinders.

I agree it's an off brand a real outfit would mark more than just the cartridge. Perhaps a Colt clone.

FIE 6 shot Buffalo Scout "The Yellow Rose" 22LR/22MAG, 24kt Gold-Plated

Yes, a Colt California Gold Rush Frontier Scout. I've got one of those but I think it only came with a .22 LR cylinder.

i tried it in a friends heritage and it fit but did not quite rotate far enough to lock up, but close. maybe it fits and older model, will keep looking. thanks everyone.
