Colt magazine in raven pistol

[badwithnames]

Hey all, for anyone who ever asked themselves "gee, will my colt 1908 magazine work in a raven pistol" (no one) I'm happy to report YES it does. It even reliably feeds the rounds into the chamber.

I now have the world's most valuable raven.

Well DANG! ... There ya go. A curious mind is a wonderful thing.

Great news!

Now what about the :

Ejector
Extractor
Firing Pin
Barrel
Slide
Frame
Trigger
Etc….?

Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s the Raven was at bottom of the barrel, if not under it.

Trust me, I hear ya! This particular raven is pretty lucky though as it's been trouble free and surprisingly accurate (granted, I've only taken it out to about 15 yards.) Jennings, on the other hand...

I like my Raven, hardly ever shoot it.
I overpaid for it, cost me $35

Given how crappy the magazine spring in my long ago Raven was (which took a set after being loaded for six months that allowed the last round to fall out!), that's potentially useful information.

I bought a Spanish made Bufalo 25acp for $150 because it had one of the older Colt two tone magazines in it. The magazine was worth than the gun……
