Long time no see /k/. Think I could get some info on this revolver I picked up today? I ain't finding much online.

Here's the info on top
>>
Some numbers in the cylinder
>>
Looks like a Top-Break Automatic Ejecting Model 1, second variation.

I'm not sure what you'd like to know that's not covered in the Wikipedia article on Harrigton & Richardson. It's not a rare, special, or collector-desirable model, they were very common back in the day and many still exist today. It's not worth much.

>>64688577
that star looks hashed, how is the lockup?
>>
>>64688648
I really just want to know what's okay to shoot out of this. I'm hearing that smokeless rounds are fine even though it's a model made for black powder rounds
>>
>>64688674
i don't see why not assuming the pressures are the same
>>
>>64688662
It's pretty good, the cylinder free spins but they say that's normal?
>>
>>64688674
>I'm hearing that smokeless rounds are fine
Correct. Don't go shooting +P out of it but normal ammo is loaded to the same spec as the old black powder standard.
>>
>>64688729
if it feels like it locks up well then check the alignment and if that seems fine then the next step would be to put some rounds through it
>>

No. Only use BP in these cheap 32s
>>64688688
>i don't see why not assuming the pressures are the same
that's because you're a fucking idiot who does not know the pressure curve is utterly different between BP and smokeless
>>
>>64688745
>Correct.
incorrect and very dangeous nasty way to fuck your hand I have a little sub collection of old bullgogs/32s/velodogs/suicide specials

don't shoot smokeless in them
>>
>>64688773
Pressure curve would be relevant if we were talking about a semiauto, but we aren't so it doesn't matter. It's perfectly safe to shoot smokeless out of that gun provided it's not some silly overpressure load. Stop spreading fuddlore.

>>64688558
How in the absolute fuck are you not finding much online? Did you even look?
>>
>>64688779
>incorrect and very dangeous nasty way to fuck your hand
Cite your sources or stop parroting fuddlore, idiot.

>Muh bulldogs
What does that have to do with OP's H&R?
>>
>>64688792
I did. But I just figured that here would be the best place to narrow answers down.

Plus I haven't been here in years so thought it would be a little fun to make a thread again.

wrong you have no idea what you are talking about
>>
>>64688794
h&r revolvers and bulldogs are both cheap revolvers
