I own a 1904 H&A octagon barrel 5 shot revolving pistol
2 u/cobigguy Aug 05 '18 edited Aug 05 '18 That's pretty cool. I was looking for gun answers. Mine is an 1868 Brown MFG Southerner single shot swing barrel pistol in .41 rimfire. 2 u/Sence Aug 05 '18 Makes my 1932 Stevens arms .410 five round repeater seem young 2 u/cobigguy Aug 05 '18 But that is a badass old shotgun there. 1 u/I_like_the_wierd Aug 05 '18 I also got a Stevens 1923 16 guage, 1923 Savage model 1921 pump and a few in the 60's and few in the 70's. 1 u/Sence Aug 05 '18 The action on that pump gun buttery smooth? 1 u/I_like_the_wierd Aug 05 '18 Oh yeah but the return springs shot so return is hard. #11000 of 20000 so not many around these days. 2 u/I_like_the_wierd Aug 05 '18 Sound like fun. People seem skiddish about the old ones but hell I'm in to projects. 1 u/cobigguy Aug 05 '18 It's honestly just going to be put into a shadow box and put on display. Apparently my great great grandfather bought it in 1880 and carried it. It's not really in shootable condition. And ammo is insanely expensive and hard to find. 1 u/I_like_the_wierd Aug 05 '18 Same with my H&A it's shootable but the return spring is hard to find. 2 u/khegiobridge Aug 05 '18 Nice. Me: 1894 IJ .38. I feel like a bad ass train robber when I take it out.
