Name that gun!

Recommended Posts

Correct, its a 38 cal. It needs about $100 in parts at the most  to bring it back to life. I found a supplier and a very good video on disassembly/ reassembly.

I think it was produced in other calibers, as well. I just don't recall what they were. 🙄

They also made it in 41 long colt, 38 long colt, and 32 colt.

Let’s move this in another direction. Anyone recognize this gun? Imported and sold by one of the largest retailers in this country.10620B5D-68DB-4040-85AF-7FD1BE8E13BB.thumb.jpeg.ec3a86877e4599e585c7a8e23fb6349b.jpeg

The gun is a FRANCOTTE imported and sold by Abercrombie & Fitch. It is a model 45 the highest grade they imported, made in 1920. I shot it today at Eurasian doves.

Nice shotgun. How did you acquire it?

Ok, if you look close the name is on the receiver. Cactusjack's Uncle had one of these stolen from his shop last year so keep your eyes open. Not real common.

1867 Werndl

Cool. I can't say I've ever heard of it and certainly never saw one. What kind of cartridge did it use?

I cheated a screen shot the specs.

The firing pin runs through the rotating cylinder. Pretty cool to look at the engineering.

Austria-Hungarian 1867 - 1888.

Roughly 680,000 made but you don't run across them frequently.

Seems to be the Hungarian answer to the Springfield 45-70.

Or the Remington Rolling block. The rolling block lasted longer than the Springfield in different calibers. Instead of rolling back, it rolled side ways.

But the hammer and firing pin were very similar to the Springfield trap doors.

Was a time of innovation and fighting around the world.

PM me and I'll take it to you to see.

Lots of different cartridges for the Remington, too.
