Trying to find some basic information about this gun. Only writing on it is along the top of the octagonal 2" barrel, "American Bulldog." I think it was probably Iver Johnson, has the original hard rubber grips with bulldog in the center and is chrome or nickle plated. It's not in working...

Thanks. This one seems to be in good working order, merely missing the front sight. I feel compelled to order a box of .38 S&W's and try a few rounds. Old iron fascinates me and I always want to make them work. Wish me luck.

I'm looking for information about an H&A, five shot, .38 center fire. This piece is a break top, 3 1/4 in barrel, nickle plated and has no model or caliber markings on it. Barrel is round and stamped, "Forehand Arms. Co. Worchester, Mass. USA. Patented Dec. 7, 86 & Jany. 11 '87." Grips are...

I have been looking forward with much anticipation to shooting this gun; finally got 10.4mm ammo for it, took it out and...nothing. Looking for suggestions. It appear that the firing pin is not making contact with the primer. The pin itself appears undamaged and from photos I've seen it...

Colt 1901 US Army revolver which I inherited from my Dad. NOTE: Photo copyrighted.

Thanks for the help. What's your take on WD 40? I've never used it on as firearm and was told long ago it wasn't a good idea, however, I've talked to some folks who use it regularly.

Sam, you're not making me happy. I do, however, appreciate your assistance.

Shot my first three or four rounds through this 1901 with no problems. When cleaning it later, put a couple drops of oil on the extractor rod and a short time later the cylinder became difficult to turn. The knob on the extractor rod screws off if I attempt to turn to the left, so obviously...

While looking at the ATF's list of what are considered AOW's, I saw what were referred to as "crude manufacture" weapons. An acquaintance of mine has a pistol his father built when he was a kid out of a .22 rifle, which would appear to qualify. It looks like he could legally possess it if he...

I took this out and capped of a few rounds today. Now I remember my Dad saying that it kicked like a mule. I'll be bruised tomorrow.

Jim refers to a general used revolver checklist posted here, but I can't find it. Can anybody direct me to it?

Thanks for the information. It may never show up, but I feel better about it.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, none of the old ammo is in boxes, which would increase collectibility. Think I'll try a few rounds first.

For years my Dad had a live fifty caliber round that he brought back from the big one, ww2. We would find and play with that frequently and it was around for many years. Finally he said he was going go get rid of it and we never saw it again. He passed a couple of years ago and I have no...

]I have a colt 1901 which appears to be in great shape. With it I found several boxes of .38 ammo from 1905 to 1918. Haven't tried firing it yet, would like some opinions on the advisablity of doing it and, if I do, what I should do perparatory to doing so. Beyond that, does anyone know...

Well, since it says .38 special, that's what we'll try. I let you know how it shoots.

Thanks again y'all. Would shooting .38 shorts be advisable, or just longs and/or specials?

Thanks, appreciate the reply

I have a MIDA GIA CASTELLI MODEL 1889 – REVOLVER, built in 1918, that I'm trying to determine the value of. It's a 10.4mm weapon and surprisingly I can find ammo for it, but nothing in the way of values. Any information would be appreciated.
