Savage 1907 .32

David, that pic was taken way back in 2008, the hands fine and I can tear a Savage down and put it back together in under a minute now. It was just a dumb mistake I made putting it back together that caused that gash, but you learn from mistakes.

You don't need a 12/6 if the 1917 is in .380. All of my 3 Savage pistols (well 4, I have 2 1915's) are in .380.

It's to bad you don't live in the U.S. anymore, you would have a safe full of Savage .32's, apparently they don't see them as bad bad weapons there. I guess it's easier to kill someone with a .32 than it is with a .380 here in Canada because of that extra 1/4 inch of barrel the .380 has. We have one stupid government here I'll give them that.
 
Gorno. See Ellwood Epps site; Hunting - Firearms - Prohibited; they have a Savage .32 for sale.
The description and price may interest you. Cheers. Bogus
 
What I miss the most about the US gun laws are (1) that I could (and did) carry concealed and (2) that I could get some legal relief (not much, but some) for collecting. I don't collect Savages. I just like them. I collect different self-loading actions (like a Mateba) and unusual gun/cartridge combinations (like a Smith Model 547). I'm retired on a small fixed income and so don't acquire as many as I'd like to. I sold off many in the US, and of course now regret most of that. There are quite a few I sold that I could have kept even in Canada. However, moving to Canada was an appropriate thing to do, and while I miss the flexibility of the US system, I can live (grudgingly) with Canada's way. Although some people don't see it that way, I believe there are things more important than collecting guns. Perhaps incorrectly, I've always assumed that the intent of the lawmakers was to limit access to, and eventually eliminate pocket pistols. I doubt many gangbangers bother with .32s (I miss my little Seecamp) and .380s, but I suppose there are some data somewhere that supports the notion of getting rid of small, small caliber pocket pistols. I don't see it. but the lawmakers don't ask me about these things before they do them. I'm old and feeling mortal, so I'm transferring my collection to my son who lives in Virginia. It's an interesting and expensive experience, and not one I'd recommend. US laws are getting much, much tighter, and I guess will tighten even more. Some decades ago, I told a local police chief in a rural town in Massachusetts where I was arriving to live, about wanting to be able to legally take my pistol out to a local quarry to shoot. In response to my question about getting some kind of permit, his answer was, "Don't shoot anybody, and there won't be a problem". How times change. Anyway, I'm glad the hand is healed.

I just like them. When I lived in the Northwest US, I used a take-down 99 in .250 Ackley Improved to hunt. I really liked that rifle.
