Howdy folks,
New to the forum. I shoot alot of black powder in 45LC, 45-70, and soon to be 32S&W Short. I recently picked up a pair of H&R top latch revolvers for a great price. Theyre in great condition, so theyre getting a trip to the gunsmith just to make sure theyre ok to fire
One of them has a 5 digit SN under the cylinder on the top strap. According to my research, this gun was made between 1894 and 1904, and since it doesnt have the caliber stamped on the left side of the barrel, that its rated for BP cartridge only.
Brass can still be found for these fine little thumpers, and ill be doing casting for it. Definitely looking forward to handling this critter.
Bob
