S&W Revolver Barrel Question: Can you interchange L and K frame barrels

[jmastick]

Are smith and wesson barrels interchangeable with other frame sizes.

Could I put a N Frame sized barrel on a L Frame?

Could I put a L Frame sized barrel on a K Frame?

No.
All are different thread sizes & shank lengths.

As a matter of fact, S&W barrels are not truly interchangable on the same frame size without fitting.
