For a +75 year old pistol, that bore ain't bad at all. Going to brighten and re-blue the crown, before that patina decides it wants to grow? I've got a set of cotton polishing nubs for the dremel right beside me here. All they need is a bar of rouge, and ready to go... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

Next move will be a function test after I finish swapping firing pins. In the better slide was a home made FP that I just don't trust. I'll probably stone down displaced metal on the barrel & go over it with steel wool rather than a polish. Scrubbing with a brass brush removed a lot of discoloring already. I've been urged to refinish the entire gun, but I like the been there - did that look of the WW2 parts. SW |

Dad had a .32. This is off 40 year old memory- it was the only auto in the house that would feed a cast bullet reliably, except for the .22s Minx. Pretty sure it was an astra- the one without the grip safety. It's throat was a bit on the generous side. Bullet was a funny looking cone shape off a Lyman mould. It had a long for caliber driving band, and reloaded easily with a light stroke on the ram through the sizing die. Seating was o.k.. We cast fairly hard 1 to 1-1/2 % tin to linotype from the old free press. Could not do the same for 380 or 9 mil. Both those moulds threw a short driving band/ogive. It was a reasonably accurate light load. Regards, Doc Sharptail |
