Hello everyone,
First let me say this is a great forum, but I'm a bit confused on finding info on my revolver. It would seem that there is a lot of different models from different time periods.
The revolver I bought is a stainless .22 with a 4" barrel. I believe it's a heavy barrel vented model.
It's a Monson gun. Serial is S0017xx
I've been looking for more barrels but I only seem to be able to find blued barrel/shrouds.
Does anyone know of a source for more barrels? And any info about this gun would be great.
I'll add a picture ASAP.

Welcome Home!
You have a 722 (7=Stainless, 22= Model, in this case (and rarely for DW) it follows the caliber
4 VH= 4" barrel with a Vent Heavy (Vent rib, Heavy underlug)
Honestly B/A's for the stainless 22's are tough to find at a decent price, try eBay and Gun Broker.
The Good News is that the .22 lr can really reward a shooter with accuracy and the ability to shoot a lot, and your 722 lives to be shot a lot. Have some fun!

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

SS .22 barrels are tough to come by - they don't come around very often and when they do there's a handful of us that are after them!

Thanks for the info! I figured the Stainless B/A's were hard to come by since I have found zero for sale 
From what I have read there are basically three generation of the 722. I believe I have the second generation based on the barrel nut and the manufacture location and serial. I have an opportunity to purchase a blued DW .357 with the full set of barrels from the same seller that I purchased this 22 from. I think it was a pistol pack but the box and swag are long gone. The seller's husband passed away a little over a year ago and she is just now feeling like she can let go of some of his belongings.
I'll post some pics later today.

Here's a quick picture. Sorry for the quality my wife ran the batteries dead in the camera, so a cellphone pic will have to do for now.

There is really only one Model 722/22. The differences in barrel nut and shroud really only apply to the .357's.
722's were made Monson and Palmer, but they are essentially the same gun.
