Old school…

I got this at the gun show today with a little bit of the profit I made from some other stuff but I'm wondering if I should sell it or keep

I believe it's a 1892 model

It's civilian

It's in 38 long colt

I paid 325 for it

Also it was made 1897

Got my 1876 Oviedo Rolling block today. It was rechambered to a 35 cal round. Did the chamber casting and I'm 90% sure it's a 357 mag. Few questions.

1. Anyone familiar with Fenwick Barrels? Can't find a single thing online

2. What are the odds it's safe to shoot? 357 has a 10,000 more psi than .43 Spanish.

How bad are my prices what should I lower what should I raise, thank you, also some are technically antiques

I was thinking about waiting until Wheel Gun Wednesday, but I can't wait. I got a steal on this gun because it was not working. Turns out it was a broken firing pin. I made a new pin and installed it. The old broken pin is in the upper left of the picture near the jaws of the calipers. This is a Smith and Wesson third model 38 caliber Safety Hammerless. We will see how long my homemade bar stock firing pin (unhardened) lasts. I popped a couple caps on empty brass but have not really test fired it. This is my first DAO revolver. Technically since it is a third model it is an antique and a black powder gun. Checking the serial number indicates it was made in the early 1890's. It seems more modern than that to me.

Love this oddball. Much larger than a normal pepperbox or transitional revolver. About a .45 caliber.

Good news: 7mm rollingblock arrived

Bad news: its not 7mm

Good news: its a rimmed ~.308 cartridge

Bad news: extractor missing and the cleaning rod jammed.

Good news: its a mod 1896 .30-40 krag rollingblock in military configuration.

Barrel is smoothbore but everything functions and is now lubricated. Anyone know where to get barrel relined besides Redman’s and Lugerman?
