9mm Flobert

[stang]

I have 3 tins of 9mm flobert rimfire. What are they worth? And what gun fires them? I bought these at a closeout and have no idea what they are for.

They shot shells or a bullet?
Webley-Scott made guns for it, long ago. There's an Italian company making single shot, O/U and SXS long guns. Doubt you'll find one here though. Very short range stuff.

"...BB CAPS..." That makes it a bullet. They're used, in Europe, for shooting rats and pidgeons. They'd likely do well for grouse, if you could find a long gun to shoot them out of.

I have a Winchester model 36 shotgun in 9mm Flobert. The only ammo that I've ever seen was sold as a collectors item for $3/shell, with a 3 shell limit. If anyone knows where to get this in shot shells at a resonable price let me know. (I would love to try a round a skeet just for the hell of it, but it's not worth $75 to me.)

That is hideously high!

Fiocchi still makes it:

"...try a round a skeet just for the hell of it..." That's all it'd be. Max range is about 15 yards. 1/4 oz shot charge at about 600fps. 87 ft/lbs of muzzle energy.

Thanks for those, I'm going to see if I can pick some up. I think the price was so high on those since it was older collectable ammo.

Here's the link to that if anyone is interested.

That doesn't worry me, the real problem is going to be the doubles, since the gun is only a single shot bolt action.

But, can some one answer my questions on the BB caps?

It's the old "they're worth whatever someone is willing to pay for them".

I don't think they are as desirable as the shotshells but they still may sell on the EE. As someone above mentioned they picked some up for $10/box.

Hell, I have a 9mm flobert, maybe I'll even buy them!
