Antique Swedish Husqvarna Model 1887 Nagant 7.5mm Revolver, Shoots SMOKELESS .32 S&W Ammo!!!
Howdy Townpost! I'm looking to sell my rare bird antique revolver. Husqvarna made 13,619 model 1887 revolvers over the course of 9 years between 1897 and 1905. Of those only 350 were made in 1897, and thus those are the only antique status Husqvarna model 1887s in Canada that are recognized by the RCMP CFP Lab Technicians. This is one of them, number 260. These are not common to say the least. These revolvers are chambered in the 7.5 mm Nagant cartridge. The chamber dimensions are essentially almost identical to the 7.5 Swiss revolver cartridge used in their model 1882s. So you can make proper brass and the proper dimensional cartridge for this gun using either .32-20 Winchester, .25-20 Winchester, 7.62mm Nagant (1895), or 8mm Lebel Revolver brass as parent cases. I have some virgin 7.62 Nagant brass that I'll throw in as a freebie to the buyer and there's like 50 pieces in this bag. Or the more expedient way to shoot this gun is to shoot 32 Smith & Wesson long or short as an inexpensive and smokeless off the shelf ammunition. This is commonly done in Switzerland with Swiss model 1882 revolvers, and given that this has almost essentially identical chamber dimensions (they Husqys are actually little a bit tighter) you can do the same. So I decided to give it a whirl with the .32 S&W and was actually very pleasantly surprised by my results. My best three round group at 25 yards with PPU .32 Smith and Wesson Long with round nose lead bullets was 2 inches. Those were the first three rounds I fired through the revolver but the three following rounds in the same cylinder opened up to a 5 inch group as the barrel heated up. I still have the target and can provide a photo of it upon request. I imagine any almost any .32 Smith & Wesson standard velocity factory ammunition would be fine to shoot in this except Sellier & Bellot because it has a fairly small diameter rim diameter and the rounds sink into the chamber and will not headspace properly and the hammer can't reach them. One in five cases bulges and splits open, but the majority of rounds fired essentially fire form to the chamber and could be possibly reloaded in my opinion. Overall the ammunition performs surprisingly well for being how undersized it is and as long as you use lead bullets or maybe a hollow-based jacketed bullet, the bullet will expand and grab the rifling and stabilize very well and achieve good accuracy. The revolver is all matching except for three parts. The cylinder is an unserialized replacement. The trigger guard and the side plate are also replacements in the 4200 SN# range. The chambres and bore are all in excellent condition. There is one spot of extremely shallow corrosion sot in the bore and that is pictured. Beyond that, the bore is sharp with tall lands and is mirror shiny. And all of the chambers are very clean and shiny as well. They are also pictured. Overall the gun is in very good condition the most noticeable wear is on the color case hardening that is on the loading gate trigger and loading gate spring. The non-matching side plate was reblued to more closely match the original blue on the frame. I will include a little document dossier I've put together in a binder that provides documentation on this firearm. It includes a copy of the Firearms reference table entry or FRN, a copy of the regulations prescribing antique firearms, and some copies of emails I received from the RCMP lab technicians confirming their opinion of the antique legal status of this particular example SN#260 revolver that I received in order to import this firearm easily. So all of your legal bases are covered. The revolver is located in Calgary AB for local delivery or pickup. Or I can ship it nationwide on the buyer's dime. I can do Alberta meetups too. It depends on the time of year though and whereabouts. I too have video footage of me shooting this firearm with 32 Smith & Wesson ammunition and the target I used I just have to edit the clips together and upload them to YouTube. I haven't got around to doing that yet. I suspect the revolver will be sold before I get around to doing that, but I will upload that footage regardless for the buyer. But for now you'll have to take my word for it until I upload the video and if that's not good enough for you then you'll probably miss out on the sale cause it's exactly what happened with my .38 Special converted Colt model 1889 that's sold in less than 24 hours.

Photo of SWISS SCHMIDT RUBIN, M1911 CARBINE 7.5mm X 55mm  1931 Manufacture
$1400
SWISS SCHMIDT RUBIN, M1911 CARBINE 7.5mm X 55mm 1931 Manufacture
SWISS SCHMIDT RUBIN MODEL: 1911 CARBINE CALIBER: 7.5 X 55, COMES WITH MAGAZINE, BORE IS VERY GOOD, SHINY. MADE IN 1931, VISIBLE NUMBERS MATCH. BLADE FRONT SIGHT WITH EARS, ADJUSTABLE U NOTCHED REAR SIGHT, BROWN POLYMER BOLT KNOBS, SILVER BOLT. TWO PIECE FULL MILITARY WOOD STOCKS, FINGER GROOVED FOREND, PISTOL GRIP, SMOOTH STEEL BUTT PLATE, SWIVELS WITH METAL HOOK FROM SLING ON ONE OF THEM, STACKING HOOK, BAYONET LUG. METAL FINISH SHOWS SOME NORMAL SCRATCHES, HANDLING MARKS AND WEAR. STOCKS SHOW SOME NORMAL SMALL MARKS, SCRATCHES AND WEAR. ACTION: STRAIGHT PULL RIFLE, BARREL LENGTH: 23.25" CLASS: CANADIAN NON RESTRICTED. Excellent Overall Condition An improvement over the original 1889 version of the Schmidt–Rubin rifle, the Swiss M1911 placed the locking lugs in the middle of the bolt, rather than at the rear, strengthening the action and allowing a more powerful cartridge, the Gewehrpatrone 11 or GP 11 to be used. It is distinguished from the 96/11 rifle by a curved butt plate and by a stock with an integral semi-pistol grip. It uses a graduated tangent sight which begins at 300 meters. The 1911 and 96/11 rifles were made with excellent craftsmanship, and were exceptionally accurate. As Switzerland remained neutral through both world wars, remaining rifles are typically in far better condition than other European rifles of the time. CFP/RCMP courtesy of Bill C-71 require any firearm to have a transfer registration number approved by the CFT to sell, give or transfer as of MAY 18, 2022. Seller needs the full name and PAL of the buyer with DOB and email as on file with the CFP. Seller then submits information on the RCMP CFP Individual Web Services which confirms the buyers PAL as valid or not with a Reference Number. Failure to do so is subject to Sections 99 & 101 of the Criminal code.

Various Lee bullet moulds. Some new most used once
All were bought new. Some are unused; some used just to see the bullet. Only the 58 cal. R.E.A.L. bullets ended up in a gun. C430-310-RF.   Double Cavity.   Never used.                                                                       $35 C501-440-RF.   Double Cavity. Used once. Crisp but a bit of lead on it.                  $25 575-500-M.   Single Cavity Minie. Not actually a Minie as the bottom is flat. I thought this would be my 58 calibre Black Powder bullet. But I ended up going with the REAL Bullet.                                                                                                                                $25 58-440. Double Cavity R.E.A.L. Only selling one. You pick the one you want I keep the other. Don't remember why I ended up with two but both used for about 60 bullets total.  I think the one on the left is the newer style but used more.                         $25 If you buy two I'll take off $5, buy 3 takes off $10, buy 4 take off $15. Located in Radisson Heights, Calgary  Or ship by Canada Post Flat Rate boxes: 24.1 x 16.5 x 8.9cm.   $20 35 x 26 x 5cm.              $23 39 x 26 x 12cm.            $26 40 x 30 x 19cm.            $35 Fill them up as much as possible up to 5kg. Will combine as much as possible to minimize shipping costs, including other classifieds I have posted. Cheers, Cody
