drm, have you measured the diameters of chambers and grooves of your revolvers? I am curious to see if Italian replica innovated there or if they followed the original makers.

Sorry---no I haven't---I have absolutely no interest in Italian replica revolvers.

Hope you don't mind me butting in here.
I have a Manhattan .36 and a Whitney Navy.
I shot the Whitney with .389 diameter round ball. But I have yet to shoot the Manhattan as it needs a few key pieces. It also seems to favor the .389 as .380 is much too loose in the chamber mouths.

I am not one hundred percent certain, but I believe the newer .36 replicas tend to use a smaller diameter of ammunition. (.375 is often mentioned)

Wow sir.... very impressive. Nice to see a collection of old pistols like that, not to mention how fun those converted autos must have been before they became evil. Thanks for the pictures.

Ha ha, no, I don't mind... My problem is Italian guns with bores larger than their chambers, which favors round balls. I was wondering if they made that up or copied it.

If you got a chance to slug your guns...
