Lead. Plan on chipping it until it clears.

Sorry, but I don't have that capability.

Thanks, but not helpful. I plan to do one of the above, unless someone has a better fix. Merry Christmas!

The 32/20 inserted easily into the Nagant cylinder, and rotated around to the barrel, but lacked about 1/16 " or so to chamber. I could disassemble the cylinder assembly, starting with the screw over cylinder rod holder, to remove the rod then the cylinder, but I am really antsy about difficult...

I failed to mention that my wife gave me one for Christmas, somewhere around 20+ years ago. She paid approximately $ 600 + tax for NIB. I'd say that was a pretty good deal, wouldn't you ? I have shot less than 50 rounds, without a breaking in time period. It never jammed, and functioned...

I.have examined a Colt 1911, as per the above title, but cannot find any reference to it in the 38th Edition of the Blue Book of Gun Values (2017). It is a Series 80 with beautiful shiny bluing, gold inlaying, rosewood grips, and flat mainspring housing. Serial # SFLDA 07xx. Anybody able to...

I might mention (for safety reasons) that the pre-1945 models should not be carried with a.loaded round hammer down.Dropping it with a loaded round could cause it to discharge. Carry on an empty chamber.

Thank you very much !

Is it safe to fire .38 Sp. +P ammo in S&W M&P models made in or about 1940 or 1941 ? If not, what type ammo is safe? Thanks.:)

Could you please give me the date of manufacture for: a: .38 Sp b: 4" c: square d: 6 e: fixed f: 642555 g: side loading ? M&P ? Thanks.

OOOOPS ! I have an addendum to the above (#17) posting. I finally got the 3/8" screw nut to fire DA (with more ease). It was a 1941 Tula.:) Then I tried the same size nut in my 1943 Izhevsk. No go. It wouldn't go SA or DA at all.:( I removed the nut from the Izhevsk. It worked normally SA...
