Wesson and Harrington version simgle shot ?

[lonewolf5347]

I came across a W@H single shot in 32 ACP octagon barrel
double set triggers I would say from the early 1900
I wonder if this can be re bored to a larger cal.? NOT MUCH LEFT IN THE BARREL LIFE
The gun itself works any one know what the resale value would be ?
I wonder what other cal. can it be re bored to

Are you sure it's not one of the many, early, rimmed .32 cal cartridges? The .32ACP is "semi-rimmed", not the best design for most single shot rifles, extraction-wise.

I've never seen one in ACP, the action is marginal for anything other than low powered b/p cartridge. If the action is really solid you miight go to 32-20 IF you didn't hot rod the loading, b/p equivlent only. I would be more inclined to reline the barrel and rechamber to 32 S and W long.

rimmed .32 cal cartridges
my mistake saying ACP I had my 1911 on my mind

Centerfire or rim fire? It's a lot easier doing one that is centerfire already.
