No,your Iver johnson Model 57 Target was not chambered for the 22 WMR caliber.
I can only say that the Iver Johnson model 57A target was made from 1955-1975.
1955 - 1974
yes 22lr are ok.
I would say yes . I own one in the original box and preformance and rarity ,to me would put in the collectable catagory.
Iver Johnson Supershot Sealed 8 .22 LR 8 shot break open revolver, adjustable sights, checkered wood grips, mfg. 1931-57. Values range for $175 at 100% condition (i.e., new in box)$110 at 90%, $90 at 80%, $85 at 70%, and 75$ at 60%. The first course of action to discern the value of a gun is to identify the make, model, manufacturing date, and variation. The book "Iver-Johnson Arms & Cycle Works Firearms 1871-1993" by W. Goforth will accomplish this. Then it's a simple matter of looking your gun up in one of the many firearm value books, such as the Blue Book of Gun Values, or the Standard Catalog of Firearms.
The Model 57 is a 41 Magnum.
Without knowing exactly what model of ''eight shot' Iver Johnson you have I can only give a generic answer. You best bet is Numrich Arms/Gun Parts Corp. (www.gunpartscorp.com) or Jack First Gunshop (www.jackfirstgun.com). When checking for parts make sure you know the model of your gun, IJ made a number of eight shot, .22 cal revolvers in both tip up and solid frame configuration and parts do not normally interchange between the models (exceptions are the model 50, 55 and 57 series solid frame guns).
Yes, although you should clean the sylinder thoroughly after firing longs or shorts to prevent corrosion at the end of the cylinder chamber that would interfere with long rifle cases.
