Despite being acommercial MK IV, it was taken into service in India in WW II. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Best of all, you can tell by seeing the complete serifs of the serial number that the cylinder has not been shaved.

Knowing Tinker, it'll have a 1/2" barrel :D
Now now, don't exaggerate. 3/4" at least...

Yes, that's the tip of the bullet you can see sticking out. Probably not anywhere near Minute of Barn Door precise but at least you'll scare the bad guys with the muzzle flash

Yes it can be done, but please don't do it. There are many collectors like me who want them in the original caliber.
Reloading for these calibers is not difficult.

Its not a very sought after, or expensive gun from what I have seen on it, and I do not plan on selling it anyway. Id like to shoot it sometime, but not a daily or likely even a yearly shooter. I guess I could just buy some rounds as seldom as I would shoot this.
This is just my opinion, yours may vary and is no less valid.
