I'd put it on eBay and consider it a lesson!

Jack is correct about the revolver and its .22LR ability. The gun came from the factory with aluminum inserts that would hold .22LR rounds, and the firing pin could be switched from centerfire to rimfire.

The revolvers themselves demand a very steep collector price. Not sure about Contender barrels, but there might be collector interest there, too. Ought to be a rare duck - but probably not a shooter for the reasons above.

Unless, it occurs to me, you could also come up with one of those chamber inserts, and then you could shoot it as a .22 rimfire in a Contender. But with regular .22LR barrels so easy to find, that seems like a half-azz plan.
