Hi, I've just got a .22 Tanfoglio revolver with a one shot cylinder is it possible to change to a six shot ? (serial no. E50261. I think it's the E151 model), if so are they still available ?

thanks, Mike

I never heard of a one shot cylinder. Do you mean single action?

I'm guessing your talking about a single action revolver.

it is a single shot cylinder (ie has only one bullet chamber), which why I got it at such a good price 50 euros, have now had a reply from the Tanfoglio factory in Italy,

Dear Mr. Forster,
we received your message and we thank you.
We don't produce the E151 single action revolver from 1994
and we don't have available any parts for this gun and it
is not possible to change the one shot cylinder with the
one with 6 shots.
Best regards.

So one Tanfoglio for sale !
Thanks everyone for you help.

Mike

The only thing I can think of is a gun made to sell in a place where individuals are limited to single shot firearms but want the look of a revolver.

I don't know, but probably there is no mechanism for rotating the cylinder, since there would be no reason for it.

I would really like to see a picture of that. I wonder if it is designed similar to the old single shot Savage Model 101?

Just what I was thinking. I hope mforster will be able to provide pictures.

What are gun laws like in France? I never heard of such single shot for a revolver. Maybe its like the new NY ban, they filled in all the wholes to limit one shot.
