Rod, I have a FA M97 with the interchangeable cylinders. I agree on the accuracy issues with single-six's. I've had two and neither shot the mag cylinder well. Don't know what FA does different, but both my cylinders will shoot equally accurate (very accurate). I haven't checked it, but FA post all their specs for each given model/caliber/barrel length. It may be that FA found a "happy medium" on bore diameter for the 22lr/mag.


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
