What did you buy yourself today - PART 1

[spandexlurch]

Dude, I'll sell you all the saturday night specials you want for $50 a pop

I would be interested if any work or are safe with modern ammunition.

Are any of those actually functional Raxar? My father loves old H&R's and Ivers. I however hate finding parts and working on the damn things for him.

Define "function". I've shot all of them except for the couple that need parts. The "functional" ones hand cycle fine but can be finicky when actually shooting. As I recall there is one that shoots well, and one that functions well, but they're of course not the same one.

I did a little research and asked around. It turns out the one I bought was made in 1905 and is not safe for smokeless powder. Took about ten minutes to clean the cylinders and barrel. It seems like it would be a fully functional revolver, I just don't reload or know where I could find light loads for it.

I've shot smokeless reloads in all the ones I've shot, although you don't need reloading stuff to reload them. You can use .310 round ball and black powder (or substitute). You knock out the spent primer with a punch, re-prime (a hand priming tool is very useful, I've never done it without one but it is doable) then put in the powder charge (like 5 grains of black powder IIRC, it has been awhile since the last time) and then place the ball in by hand (thumb pressure works, but a pair of pliers makes it easier.

I've done some experimenting with using red dot and round balls as well, around a grain of it should be fine, the round ball isn't heavy enough to burn all of the powder anyway. Shooting them out of my rifle in .32 s&w long they are going so slowly you can watch the ball fly to the target at 50 yards

Shoot at your own risk of course, Not liable for explosions, terrorism, gay storm troopers, or kabooms

Nice SAR-1 I’ve been wanting a Romey AK again for awhile. Should have never sold the collection.

Magtech makes a low power smokeless .32 S&W short. https://www.luckygunner.com/32-sw-85...tech-50-rounds

It has the same muzzle energy as a crossman 760 pumped up to ten.

It's been a busy few weeks... I Picked up a SKS Paratrooper for the collection and I traded for a "sardine" can of M2 30 cal in links.

My new 8 inch sig mpx. Waiting on a psb “arm brace” which you can shoulder and a tlr streamlight and she’ll be good to go. Traded my 16 inch carbine mpx for this.FA5387C1-1EC9-4A42-BEF6-8B6D7007DDA7.jpg

Are you sure about that? Why would you be able to shoulder one arm brace and not another?
