Webley & Scott 22 Sleeve

Apparently this Webley & Scott 22 Sleeve slides into a MkVI frame and shoots 22 LR.

Pretty cool, though I wonder how this would effect antique status if used?

22 lr is a no go for antique status

That's really neat, are they still made today?

i would make it a .22 mag lol...

it would'nt impact antique status at all because that is not an antique revolver to begin with. The full cylinder 22 conversions are much nicer. 1/6th the wear on the latch for same number of rounds fired.

I've got one of those and it doesn't fit any of my Webleys.
Were these fitted to specific revolvers? I really don't think it would be wise to use a hammer to get it down the bore.
