Default Just came in, my M52-1

She is not real purdy with the scratches and all on the outside, but inside is clean and well taken care of.

This is going to be my International center fire gun.

1968 manufacturing date

Should I be on the look out for an extractor, or just let it ride.

Will let you know how it shoots, maybe this weekend.

Very nice, congrats.

You intend to put some wooden grips on?

Nice 52-1, Clarence.

With the .38 wadcutters you should be fine but if you come across another extractor, get it. It can't hurt.

I have 2 sets of wooden grips, but I do not use them while shooting.

I have big sweaty hands and need all the grip i can.
That is why all of my guns wear Pachmayrs.

Will look for an extra extractor.

Thanks;
Clarence

Default 25yds, off hand and open sights

Went to the range today to fire both the M52-1 and M52-2.
Also to function test the M39-2.

Shot 3 targets at 25yds.
1st target was to sight it in, the next 2 targets are posted.

Pretty happy with it.
I should have got into M52's long time ago.
