I shot my new to me Model 52 this past weekend. Wow!
100 flawless rounds. This beauty really makes me look like an accomplished pistol shot.
Any tricks for holding down that front plate while threading/screwing in the barrel bushing while reassembling?
I need ammo. Any for sale?

Congrat's on a fine acquisition.
The Model 52 will make almost anybody look like a good shot, even me...
amazingflapjack is right on by saying that you should maybe look into hand loading. Lot's of used reloading equipment out there and it will eventually save you a lot of cash. I haven't bought any factory ammo (other than .22) for at least 25 years. Once you get good at reloading with a progressive press you can really pump out the ammunition. Good luck with your butta smooth Model 52.
