Identify this revolver!

I don't think it is fake, it was posted by a member on silencer talk who says it its his gun. I know traditionally revolvers don't work with suppressors, but that's why I want to know what this is, to see how he did it.

I think old Dan Wesson revolvers were able to be silenced. The barrels were screwed in and shimmed from the cylinder with a VERY thin shim before being locked down. This small gap didn't allow very much noise to escape. This is from the best of my memory from one my dad had many years ago...


HEY! This is post number 714 for me. Do any of you remember what a 714 was years ago? Hint...rorer, lemon...

That is definitely not a nagant. its rimfire and looks to be a single action only.

Additional pic added, still trying to figure out what he has.

He said all he had to do was cut the dight back and thread it, nothing else.

Remember? Yes. I used to live in an apartment that had a pipeline straight into it and a network going out. My roommate got sent up over that (and a few other items.)

You guys are really missing the boat, that is the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator that Marvin the Martian favors.Cleverly disguised as a primitive Earth projectile firing weapon.

.22 cb caps dont make much noise anyway, given a tight cylinder gap, it is entirely plausible.

He says it was normal .22lr, no caps, shorts, or any tricks for that matter.

Aww its not really a revolver

The Savage 101 was an interesting gun made from 1960-1968. It is made to resemble a single-action revolver but is actually a single-shot; the barrel and cylinder swing out to load the shell and there is no cylinder rotation on firing (there's only one chamber). Not a terribly popular collectable, but does have a place in a comprehensive Savage collection OR makes a good addition to any collection of oddball handguns.
We see these offered for sale fairly often at $150-$195 but they sit and sit and sit... Actual buying prices seem to be in the $100-$125 range. I would certainly pay no more for one.
