Bump with price reduction to $1500 and 200 rounds of ammo included for local sale.

Hello All. On offer: Czech Small Arms (CSA) Sa vz. 58 Sporter semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x39 mm. A commercial version of arguably the best military rifle of the Warsaw Pact era. Outfitted by CSA with surplus Warsaw Pact wood-fiber and resin furniture, affectionately known as 'Beaver...

I can fit both S&W and Special cartridges in both revolvers. But I think I’ll just continue to use the ammo stamped on the barrels, I have both in the cabinet. I appreciate all the replies.

Possible. Specials fit in the 5” so maybe the importer reamed the cylinder

Hello All, I think I know this but given my advancing years I thought it best to receive confirmation from the experts, those who reside within this forum. I have two WWII Victory revolvers. First is a Navy 4” stamped “.38 S. & W. Special Ctg”. The other is a 5” with British...

Thank you for the information, Charlie. My gun may already be in the database, 477248. I also have a 5” Victory in .38 S&W with British proofs. Do you record them in your database as well?

Hello All, I have a 1944 Navy contract Victory revolver. A stamp on the backstrap shows it was issued to the Württemberg-Baden police, in the American Zone of Occupation (LP-WB). I’m fairly certain of the timing of this because Württemberg-Baden changed its name to Baden-Württemberg in 1952...
