Thanks for sharing your response from FN! I found no patent search information at the time, either foreign or domestic, for a license for a multi-caliber weapon during the 80s or 90s. I was it.

I found this a curious response for FN until I read it more carefully.

"FN marketed an Astra (Spain) pistol called the Barracuda that could USE ..38spl, .357 mag and 9mm parabellum."

I remember this as a largish "cylinder swap" revolver ala Korth, Ruger, etc. Wow, old memories...

Have patience and I'll eventually get the DaVinci Code story, bolt action Explorer, and pics of the Blackhawk drop-in cylinder.
