Henry at Budget Shooter's Supply or Jerry at Mystic Precision could bring it in.
Congratulations, Bruce. That's a nice find.

I got enough loaded rounds with it to have brass for a while.
In the WWS catalogue they have both 25-20 loaded rounds and new brass.
I haven't had experience with that outfit, but I hear many saying that doesn't mean they have it, or can get it.
Dies seem to be available, also.
Nothing listed in Cartridges of the World, but even if there were, if you think 25/20 ammo is pricey....
StuartI just couldn't wait any longer, I had to try her out!
I have no idea how the guys handled her before me, but this guy is just not used to a buckhorn sight. To say it is not my favourite is the understatement of the week.
However, I hunkered down at the 50 yard line at the pistol range and let fly three times.
I may not be really proud of the shooting, but certainly not ashamed of it, either. The two furthest seperated are 1.75 inches, which relates to about three and a half at 100 yards, which I won't complain about. They are sure nice clean, round holes.
Next on the list now is an old tang sight to fit the hole in the 92 tang.

For a rifle you're unfamiliar with and sights you don't like, that's not a bad start. With a tang aperture sight and maybe a new blade at the front and a bit more practice I wouldn't be surprised if those groups improve by 50%.
The bore might benefit from an overnight dose of Wipeout and/or Kroil, too, in case some of her "history" is hindering things.

StuartIs Mr. Chumbles is reading up on wildcat loads?
Ba-dum-bum! One in a row!
Now that you mention it, yes, I believe he was. I'll have to ask him when he gets back from the range.

Very, very nice 4831. I just completed my 1892 caliber collection three weeks ago with an 1892 rifle in 25-20 as well.....I should take a picture, maybe they are close family relatives!
So you say that your WSS has brass? The Calgary one seems to have dried up, and I don't know what I am going to do about bullets....
Oh and great cat...Mr Chumbles. hahaha....
