I bought this as a Soper copy , it is not. It is chambered for 357/38 special with a 29" octagon brl. There are no markings on it other than the range marks on the rear sight. Has anyone seen anything like it ? Any info would be great.
One of a kind ??

I saw that when it first came up for sale on here .Basically it is a custom made rifle by a talented amateur gunsmith.If it had of been in 22lr I would have owned it a long time ago.My only advice is don t break anything as there are no replacements
I can t remember his name but it was on sale here sometime in early 2021.I was tempted at the time but like I said I would have preferred it in 22lr.I believe it to be a one off by a talented amateur gunsmith.If it were mine I d stick to factory loads or equivalent just because one doesn t know the history,materials used or action strength

Meh. If the guy that made it originally, could, someone else could make it also!
I would not be worried about replacement parts, if it turns yer crank as far as being attracted to it goes!
Ya but it would cost ya depending on what broke
It looks like a fun gun if I knew the guy who built it I would ask about getting one made in 22

The action frame sure looks strong enough for any 38/357 published load but the block latch appears to be the weakest link.
If that breech block is fitting into the shoulder milled at the back of the action then it seems to me it is plenty strong. The shoulder on the barrel tenon looks as thick as any magnum revolver.
Somebody did a lot of nice work, scalloped both sides of the rear of the receiver.
