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.
>>64688577that star looks hashed, how is the lockup?
>>64688648I 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
>>64688674i don't see why not assuming the pressures are the same
>>64688662It's pretty good, the cylinder free spins but they say that's normal?
>>64688674>I'm hearing that smokeless rounds are fineCorrect. Don't go shooting +P out of it but normal ammo is loaded to the same spec as the old black powder standard.
>>64688729if 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
>>64688674>. I'm hearing that smokeless rounds are fine even though it's a model made for black powder roundsNo. Only use BP in these cheap 32s>>64688688>i don't see why not assuming the pressures are the samethat'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 specialsdon't shoot smokeless in them
>>64688773Pressure 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.
>>64688558How in the absolute fuck are you not finding much online? Did you even look?
>>64688779>incorrect and very dangeous nasty way to fuck your handCite your sources or stop parroting fuddlore, idiot.>Muh bulldogsWhat does that have to do with OP's H&R?
>>64688792I 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.

>>64688785>Pressure curve would be relevant if we were talking about a semiauto, but we aren't so it doesn't matter.wrong you have no idea what you are talking about
>>64688794h&r revolvers and bulldogs are both cheap revolvers
