Anybody here use "hole fillers"?

A "hole filler" is taking most anything regardless of condition to fill in until something better comes along.
Example: At one time I was trying to get at least one of every chambering that S&W made. I had to accept a horrible conditioned Revolving Rifle just to fill that hole. There were a couple I just plain couldn't afford (38/40, 44RF ). Then I ran into some of the really scarce British chamberings that I couldn't even find,
less afford them. I finally got bored with the lack of progress in my "collection" and gave it up.
Anyway, I was cleaning up my junk drawer and came up with a couple of non-S&W hole fillers that are pretty bad, but unusial enough that they might be of interest as hole fillers....
One is a Sedgley Baby Hammerless(good grips) and another is a Smith's Patent April 1873 spur trigger. Both are non-functoning and may be missing some internal parts.
I'm torn between listing them here, on GB or just toss them back on the misc box.

I certainly do and imagine most gun guys do too. I had a pretty nice pre 64 Win 70 in 375 H&H but it was a 1958. 1958 is still a pretty good model 70 as they hadn't yet gotten to the cost cutting features that I hate, i.e. the large round sear hole, rounded striker sleeve, and small checkering panels , but was not the cream so it was a hole filler until a few weeks ago.

The pre 64's made between about 1950 and early 1954 are my favorites. They still had lapped barrels that were chambered with I think 7 reamers (not sure of the number but it was a bunch), integral front sight ramps, were marked 375 H&H Magnum, had Monte Carlo combs available from late 1951, and were fully scope friendly. My 1953 fills the bill so I sold it's slot holder.
