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.

Webley Mark1 British Service Navy Revolver .45 ACP/45 Auto/ 455 Webley. $4950
Please text anytime 6476871484. Fully functional antique revolver in ready to shoot like new condition. No PAL required. Comes with 2 moon clips for 45ACP, 1 adapter for .455 Webley and FRT RCMP paperwork. Webley MkI* British Service Revolver Navy .45ACP/45 Auto/ 455 Webley. The this one was checked and tested for smokeless powder by gunsmith. This one was professionally modified to accept 45auto rim and .45ACP cartridges on a moon clip and also can be used with original .455 Webley ammo. The gun is in like new condition with everything tight and working like a Swiss clock and plenty of the original blue remaining. The action is accurate strong and very smooth. The cylinder indexes and locks properly without play. The bore of the 4-inch barrel is good and mirror bright, with sharp rifling. The grips are excellent and undamaged. SN 30929, very fine overall. History & Background Philip Webley & Son began making top break, hinged revolvers as early as 1880, with the Charles Pryse patented design they acquired for use on their Webley-Pryse revolvers. Soon thereafter an improved locking mechanism by Michael Kaufmann produced the Webley-Kaufmann design, followed by Webley's own improved "Government" model, or "WG". It was not until 1887, when the British military hoped to replace the Enfield revolver that the first "Mark" revolver model was introduced. The Mk I was soon followed by the MkII (1894), then III (1897), and eventually as many as six variations were made, between 1887 and 1949. The Webley top break "Mark" revolvers were probably the single most widely used side arm in the world, and were still in service as late as the 1970’s.

TRADING or BUYING WELL: inquiry by Constitutional rights & full RPAL: Trade/Buying Small Arm like .38 Revolver/Antique - Discretion is a right too!
Hi there patriotic Canadians, just a brief rundown of what kind of person I am and what I am after; fully understanding our constitutional rights is important as it completely contradicts any or most current thug like bans or officials ways of lying and trying to convince society we have no rights to own firearms responsibly it has been a right under God or a Born unto by every good Canadian who has earned the ability to responsibly use and or own any firearm within reason and certainly if we have paid our dues as those who have spent most of our lives protecting other Canadians where firearms are not used to defuse situations as it is a known fact this almost always makes things worse and more dangerous which is exactly why people like that who are responsible and understand that responsibility don’t need some bureaucrat who has never handled a firearm dictate to me or you if it’s some privilege that mommy and daddy are letting us maybe have sometimes a little; it utter nonsense we are better people and not criminals like the ones who pass these archaic “laws” and criminals making laws clearly don’t make them legal. All of this out of the way I hope I can find and deal with the right people potentially an old timer who has an older collection of my favorites like the antique 6 shooters single & double action, I have been searching for a good condition grandfathered type short barrel 38/22/44/ namely but not strictly I simply require or would like to meet or find a like minded person who is willing to part with a nice potentially original out of their collection to hand down ideally I am after makes and models like the Smith & Wesson/colt single army/Ruger and Taurus model types if we are speaking strictly collectors deep history antiques, Wanting ideally, a good .38 short revolver action that is either already no longer reg. traced or an updated 1930s-1960s model whether it a detective issue snub or a regular issue short barrel 6 shooter that still has a speed loader option or preferably a modified reconstruction and has a side gate loader for single rounds as these are the most utilitarian and essential esthetics. Good or some worn condition I’d expect in fact I prefer a good harms arm to have some wear showing it has reliability and is still fully calibrated and comes as is no need for bells and whistles just a feel good reliable piece that will out last another generation to come. If anyone is a serious owner and collector discreetness is also a right and key in this or any trade and I would hope to keep any dealings private as possible as is our God given rights as RPAL lifetime holders, my offers for a good piece and especially with its holster/belt and any extras I am open to trading some rare estate solid gold signet and precious gem men’s rings which from recent informal appraisals were multiple times the gold values even though the contents and purity are already above any nonsense from a sissy jewelry store chain. My items and rarities are very old well kept and made for a man who wants something of value for example one is a full set Blue Boulder Opal from a small family owned mine in the Australian Outback it’s one of a kind in the world and I am auctioning this one for sure again as last time it had a fins of traction I just did not get enough eyes on it and the auction slot paid for was too short otherwise I was very close to getting an extremely generous offer, but was unable to locate the bidder before it finalized such as are all silent “A”s I also have Solid gold bullion cuff that exceeds 2 ounces of 999.9 of the purest gold which can be shaped, clipped for divided uses even turned into other pieces with its content. I also have constitutional USA silver 90% dimes, and more bullion silver and some very old antique pieces going back hundreds of years. of course Cash talks and I am willing to do a straight cash deal split or show what other great items I have and own including prepper gear wonderful older leather 1800s style jackets and other small priceless artifacts such as meteor fragments and the likes. I’m sure based on my listing of potential items to trade for a decent .38 antique form revolver or something of similar greatness we can come to a more than fair even mutually beneficial trade again I respect peoples privacy and in any deals as long as it’s within our constitutional rights as the Law Abiding Canadians we are and shall always be allowed to do business at our hearts content going far back into our own heritage when trades like these were common place and no jackboot ever had a place nor legal grounds to meddle in our affairs: Remember nothing has changed we have just been told to forget. I’m not going to forget my God given rights and I hope you don’t either we all deserve them as freeborn People’s of Canada and Beyond. Please contact me as soon as you feel like throwing fisticuffs lol or just making some offers
