Belling the brass wasn't a problem with my older RCBS dies and Hornady short brass. Crimping them was. I had to order a Lee factory crimp die and it works great on the short and long brass,

You might consider a late model H&R Defender .38. They have solid cylinder lockup and adjustable sights. They are all .38 S&W caliber.

The H&R American Double Action in .44 Webley was produced from about 1883 until 1917 and in 3 barrel lengths and two finishes. That's a production life of 33 years in this caliber. It has the distinction of being the only American Double Action that H&R made that came standard with a loading...

Here is my American Double Action in caliber .44 Webley. No, I have never fired it and don't intend to. Not that I would be afraid to but I collect them and this one is unfired. The nickled trigger guard tells me it is pre-1896. I have 3 more .44's and examples of most other models too. I have...

Your revolver is a rebadged H&R model 1904. H&R made a Metropolitan Police in .22 caliber too, based on their model 1906. It is not known for sure who these were manufactured for. I messaged you about this. With best regards, Jeff

Howdy, It's caliber is .38 S&W center fire, if it were rim fire, the model name on the topstrap would be "THE H&R BULL DOG". Your nickle trigger guard puts it as pre 1897. The serial numbers on these were in batches and as such, do not help with dating. I think you have your date about right and...

No on the King front sight. Its a 4" factory model 14-3. One of 50 special ordered in 1971. 14's have either a 6" or 8-3/8" barrel.

Anyone care to guess whats unusual about this S&W model 14-3? Its not the replacement target grips. Its all factory and I have a Jinks letter on it. Any true S&W guy ought to be all over this one. http://www.thehighroad.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=187270&stc=1&d=1375493979

I've had one for a couple of years. Fun little toys. Not especially well made but fun to play with. Mine is in 9mm Largo. I have a Star model M in the same caliber and load for them using Starline 9 Largo or .38 ACP brass. My Star shoots .38 Super just fine but the Destroyers bolt face will not...

I'm going to go with a Belgian copy of a Russian Model S&W. The proof mark shown on the cylinder looks all too familiar. I think its crown over ELG in an oval. That's a Belgian proof for testing revolver cylinders. Also the hammer spur is way wrong for a S&W. Trigger guard is wrong for a S&W too.

Sorry, have been away and not following this thread. I've been collecting pre-WWII H&R revolvers since the Dead Sea was just sick! It's so nice to see some interest in them here. Regarding the first Double Action H&R made, the one with the sideplate. I believe this is called the 1880 Double...

Very very nice find on a classic old Colt. Honest wear only allows you to take it with you more when you go and not worry about depreciating it. Please, for the love of Samuel L. Colt, ditch the Goodyears! That old Colt is just waiting for you to restore it to its former dignity...

It looks like a Belgian revolver patterned externally after a Webley. Is the proof mark the letters ELG in an oval?

32magnum, those long legged .44's are hard to find. Those are some nice ones. I've seen them referred to in the old days as "Frontier Revolvers", as if they competed with Colts and other big bores. Why in the Sam Hill would anyone want a 4-1/2" barrel with a Safety Hammer?

How about some H&R .44's?

Hows this one? I have a whole lot of pre-1942 H&R revolvers.

Did someone say Hunters and Trappers?

Well lets see, young punks, plastic bumpers, MIM parts. Yep, the perfect trifecta. They each deserve each other.

Honestly, I don't think their is anything substandard about MIM parts. To an old S&W man however, they represent a change in direction that S&W took. Still make good revolvers but they are a different breed than the older ones. The MIM parts finish is a faux color case hardening that we don't...

In Genesis 3:14, God cursed the serpent. Me and the good Lord see eye to eye on this and I curse everyone of them I see. My little 4 acre farm house has hosted Timber rattlers, Copperheads, King snakes, Coral snake, lesser grass snakes, coach whips, and an unbelievable number of Rat snakes...
