Wanted an easy way to tell LR /Mag cyl apart!

[Clare44man]

I love my BW convertible except for the two cylinders looking exactly alike!  Of course the.22 lr cylinder has 'L' stamped on the front, but I wanted an easy way to tell them apart as soon as I picked one up.  So I bought some automotive pin striping tape and applied it to the LR cylinder.  Then I made a quick trip to my gunsmith and asked him if he would please bead-blast the cylinder.  Now I can tell at a glance which is in the gun!

That just looks cool---- and does the job. Also better grip seeing as how if you ever NEED to change out cylinders fast chances are the conditions and nerves won't be the best.

Love the little tricks.

Well there you go, that took the guess work out of it......And it looks good too.

Looks nice. Looks like he used Aluminum oxide rather than glass bead.
