This husky set will take care of all of your prewar sight screw needs.

I’ll take chance as well.

Please post pictures of the HV 32-20 ammo. There’s entirely to much confusion about ammo that hasn’t been produced in at least 60 year. We can’t go one 32-20 thread without it rearing its head. All major ammo manufacturers,32-20 ammo is loaded to it lowest pressure specs. Thank you I’ll step...

I’ll throw my best guess until Jack comes along with his data base. I’m thinking 1907-1908.

Congrats on your 32-20 purchase. It’s my absolute favorite woods loafing cartridge. They are addictive.

Here’s a couple from the roaring 20’s. The shotgun is a STEVENS 520 along with a 2nd model 44spl (1923) and a 1905 32-20 target 4th change (1927).

I have a few. 1899 32-20 target. 1905 no change 32-20 target. 586/581 4in Model 58 Triple lock 44spl. 3rd model 44spl. K32.

I vaguely remember an article by Alex Hamilton in American Handgunner. He plugged the forcing cone then filled the barrel with cerrosafe while inserting brass square stock attached to a big tap wrench. After removing the barrel he melted out the cerrosafe. Maybe search there archives.

I think some of that may stem from learning from an experienced loaders. Let’s face it most reloader’s have a lot of stuff. I started loading and tying flies on my dad’s desk. 40 years later I have a 12x6 L shaped bench with 3 press and all accessories on it and a standing wardrobe for powder...

I can’t add too much information. I had an auto 5 as you described about 20 years ago. It had the trigger guard safety and the gold trigger. It also had the bead blasted receiver top and a lack of engraving. Mine functioned as any other A5 should loading and cycling. Mine came with the original...

They are deemed unsafe because if it fires out of battery. The bolt can leave the receiver striking the shooters head at a high rate of speed. These shotguns do not have any disconnect features. I’ve owed several of the marlins, never slam fired any of them because of this potential situation...

My brother bought me a box of reloading stuff at a yard sale 20 years ago for $20 bucks. It had 200 new 45/70 cases,100 fired 1000 bullets. Some old hand loader magazines, 200 mixed odd ball piece of brass all things I could use. But the holy grail was 3 brand new boxes of 35 Winchester brass in...

Before you go and modify the gun. Just trim your brass until it chambers correctly. It’s a much cheaper alternative than messing with revolver.
