Would I be able to put a M37 J frame barrel on a Model 10 K Frame. I see where J&G has M10s without barrels and I have a M37 with a cracked frame that would be the perfect donnor for this project.

Fitting J Frame Barrel to K Frame

Regrettably, it wouldn't work. J Frames have a .500-36 thread and the K Frame is .540-36.
Thanks, I figured it would not but was hoping maybe just maybe....
I wouldn't want a K frame snubby anyway.
We have one in the family, and it's only a collectors item.
Nobody wants to carry it or shoot it much.
What I would want to do about putting a barrel on a K-frame Smith & Wesson revolver that's missing a barrel is to have a gunsmith install an extra long barrel that came off of some other firearm, probably a rifle or carbine.
Think Buntline special!
Maybe the barrel was originally chambered in something like 35 Remington, .35 Whelen, or 357 magnum( from a lever action carbine).
Now a 12.5" inch section of it could be cut off, machined down, threaded, and screwed in place for the revolver's barrel.

K-frame 3" barrels, cut off at 3" by some other entity,
for only 18 bucks--with tax and shipping it's under 25.
I'd give this a try. Shows in stock now.
What's the difference in a .38 special heavy barrel, and a .357 heavy barrel?
Nothing, why?
The OP is asking about Model 10 guns that are missing their barrels,
and what I found at Gunparts Corp. are S&W used K frame 38 special barrels cut off to 3 inches. Perfect match for those frames (except maybe for the issue about the ejector rod length and head diameter?)

Ejector rods are set up for 2 inch.
