    Making your own reloadable cases to use either .22 or .27s as primers is simple enough; or you can buy a kit from H&C collections in France (they ship to Canada, and last I heard they ship to the...

    Thank you sir! I have been thinking of the metal filler plates myself. The look overall is growing on me! As long as it shoots all right... that'll be all that matters.

    For What It's Worth, I converted my 1894 Favorite in .32 RF to .32 Colt - I was worried about the angle until I actually got into it. From what I've seen of the #4 it shouldn't be all that different....

    Thanks. It is!

    As for noise, it's comparable to a standard velocity .22. That said, my Stevens Favorite in .32 Colt seems quieter so with a bit of playing around, so... we shall see.

    Thank you sir; and that is good to know about the frames. I was tempted to bring it up to .44WCF or .32-20, now I'm glad common sense took over. It is tough to find information on the H&As.

    I've...

    H&A Medium Frame to 32 S&W

    One of my winter projects; this one is built from an assortment of orphaned and broken parts. This started out life as a medium frame H&A falling block shotgun, either a "Taxidermist" or a "Lady's"...

    I was wondering something similar if mine cracked again - but a 3D printer hadn't occurred to me. I'd been thinking of either a sheetmetal shell or even an ABS tube possibly with fibreglass. 3D...

    I did my 1894 no problem, I can't recall how long exactly but it was a 1/2 day job. I made a punch that fits inside a .32 colt case to get the hole in the right place. Angle did not have to change...

    Winchester 1886 45/90: Poor Bore, But No Problem

    Not uncommon to see people concerned about their heavily pitted bore and see the questions popping up again recently. So I figured I'd share one of my experiences in this regard. It isn't the only...

    So far so good just using a quality drill on my lathe and going slow. Picture is clear, as I play around with different aperature sizes it may become more of an issue.
