![]() When in doubt I have a gunsmith check them out before firing (goooood idea) and fire sparingly. ![]() Supposedly both brands are run once a year and are loaded to lower pressures purposely for use in old top breaks. Also, I have fired both 32 & 38 S&W made by Remington and Winchester in older IJs, H&Rs, and S&Ws without any problems. Both are good shooters and surprisingly well made, in better condition than some Model 3 IJs I have in the stable. I have two circa 1910 US revolvers, 32 hammer less and a 38 with hammer both having sn's in the 4 digits. I reload using both American Patriot Powder (APP) and FFF BP and have had nothing but fun. After the initial run the metal used for the cylinders was upgraded and supposedly OK for smokeless. Supposedly, the first 14,XXX or so made used old IJ Model 2 cylinders designed for black powder (BP) loads. ![]() I have read many posts on various forums and have seen several comments on early US Revolvers using parts left over when IJ began making Model 3's (smokeless powder). ![]()
