Hello Jamie, If you were inclined to make an offer on this gun, I'd suggest you take a set of snap caps with you, black out the primer area with a sharpie, and test fire both barrels on the snap caps. The firing pin centers for the regular weight frame should be different than the centers of the FW barrels. if you observe that the marks made by the firing pins are not completely within the primer area of the snap caps, then you're destined to have more than the occasional failure to fire (or "Light Strike")with the gun in its current configuration....or at least I'd not be surprised if that were the case. Good luck, John
