Replaced another one, S&W .32WCF

Post by 2ndovc »

Some of you know the story about what happened to part of my collection so I won't get into it again unless asked otherwise.

Not quite as nice as the one I had but it's in good shape other than some wear in the finish (looks better in person), a perfect bore and excellent lock up. It came with an old set of pearl grips that had to go. I've had this set of stags for a long time waiting for a home.

Fits in with the others, and the only one of the Hand Ejectors that's not Military Proofed. Still chasing some correct grips, but gives me something to look for at the shows.

This should keep Jack busy counting screws for awhile. :)

The nickel plated .455 is just for fun. It's still a matching .455 that I enjoy shooting.

The shop has 2 boxes of .455 Webley!

Todd,
Sent you a PM. I've been reloading the .455 for a long time but could always use a box or two. I have about a half of a box of Fiocchi and a couple boxes left of the special run Hornady made a few years ago. Matt's Bullets has a good repro of the 260 gr. LRN that the British used to have.

Nice catch.

I've only got one old S&W, but it is a 32-20, so probably the best one to have I think.

Those old S&W double actions in .32-20 are one of my favorites!
