Recent acquisitions 34-1 25-5 455 HE + a bonus Bulldog

[GaryinOKC]

Went to a local show a couple weeks ago to get rid of some stuff. Ended up adopting 4. Not all in 61-80 range but figured I would start with the 34-1 and include the others rather than creating 4 threads.

Sorry for the low quality pics. Quick iPhone pics on the way home.

2" Nickel 34-1.Pretty nice gun.
4" Nickel 25-5 box and papers
455 HE converted to 45 Colt. Locks up good but has a rounded cylinder stop that allows one to roll cylinder backwards with a not too much effort. Tore it down to try to change it but for the life of me cant get the old one out.
And a SS Bulldog. I was wanting an older blue but this one will do.

Love that Bulldog, I have a SS one like that and an original 1980 version that I bought new ($210 OTD). I shoot .44 Russian ammo in mine, tames the recoil a bit!

Is the .455 the English caliber?

Is the .455 the English caliber?

Unfortunately no.

Great haul! I love the little 34s with 2" barrel. Never owned one. Every time I find them they're too high priced. And I can't remember if I've ever even seen a nickel 25. Looks good!

Regarding the cylinder stop on the 455, did you remove the screw and spring from in front of the trigger guard before attempting removal?

Yes. The screw, spring and detent pin. Can't tell if there is a burr or something else binding it.
