Irontree Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 1 antique U.S. Arms, N.Y. 32 cal http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1366/13662156/24622802/410879661.jpg http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1366/13662156/24622802/410879660.jpg At the top of these pictures is the U.S. Arms, N.Y. 32 rimfire or 1880's manufacture. Reconditioned with a newly crafted cylinder hand and spring. It's timing/lockup is now secure and correct. Reloadable .32 rimfire brass is available from Dixie Gun Works, Union City TN. if you don't want to make your own. Heeled and hollow base bullets are available from several sources (Midway, Buffalo Arms, Dixie Gun Works). This gun was tested with 20 rnds Canuck .32 rimfire after reconditioning and proved surprisingly accurate and a hell of a lot of fun at 20ft. $125 shipped SPF* 2nd in these picture is a Smith & Wesson #1&1/2 in .38 center fire. This gun is also of 1880's manufacture with a very good bore that shows freckling but no real pitting. I have owned this gun for several years and have shot it extensively. It locks up as tight as the day it was made and functions perfectly. Grips as you can see are not cracked or chipped. There is some loss of the finish from flaking and some rough carry. All and all a very nice gun for it's age. $270 Shipped SPF* 3rd in these pictures is a Smith & Wesson "Baby Russian" with the not so common 4 inch barrel. Of 1876-1877 manufacture. This gun has been brushed and renickled at some time but the lock up is still tight and the action is right on the mark. The bore is not as good as it's sister gun above but would rate around a 7 of 10. Over the years I have personally faced down and killed many dangerous empty gallon milk jugs with this very gun at 25 yrds. $250 Shipped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
