Glad you enjoyed the videos bob!, I just like sharing these pieces of history with everyone, considering alot of gun owners don't even know they exist.
People don't show them in action enough, youtube vids are rare at best.

I admit thats the first time I saw a remington in 38 caliber, and I like it a lot
Well Jet,
As soon as this semi-geriatric's, "Webley Woody" subsides a bit
...... (still waiting! ) ..... A question. How close, typically, do your MK1's shoot to point of aim?.
Fantastic group of fine firearms you've got there

What a fantastic selection of Webleys!
Here's a .32 rimfire Smith & Wesson Old Army No.2 in its original holster.
These revolvers were manufactured from 1861 to 1874, however those with serial numbers under 35731 (such as this example) were produced prior to May 1, 1865.
The Old Army No.2 was a popular sidearm with many officers and enlisted men during the Civil War.
Historical note...General George Armstrong Custer is known to have owned a pair of these, and Wild Bill Hickok, marshall of Deadwood was carrying an Old Army No.2 the night he was shot in August 1874.

Pics of my French 1892 8mm lebel Revolver with Shrapnel damage, feel sorry for the poor bugger who was likely holding it at the time.
Unfortunately I wasnt expecting it to be cannon fodder grade, but s**t happens I guess, interesting history none the less.
The gun has been fired recently by previous owner, not entirely sure if the structural intergity has been compromised however.

Took it out to the range today, ment to make a video but my camera died, oh well on friday maybe.
Anyway, gun works perfect, 100% mechanically, never seen a revolver that locks up as tight as these M-1892's, fairly accurate as well.
No end shake or anything so I don't think the Frame strength is compromised.
So I'm happy, its a good solid shooter with a little bit of character.
I'll be looking to buy another French 1892 in pristine appearance though.

That's a good shooting pistol - I put a few hundred rounds through that very same revolver and it worked fine. I bought it on the EE about 2 years ago, sold it about a year ago for $800 including dies and loading components. My loads were 3.5 gr Unique with a 110 gr cast bullet, so they weren't light loads. You are about the 4th CGNer to own that one, that I know of.
