Wesson and Harrington version simgle shot ?
« on: October 31, 2008, 08:55:55 AM »
I came across a W@H single shot in rimmed .32 cal cartridges octagon barrel
double set triggers I would say from the early 1900
I wonder if this can be re bored to a larger cal.? NOT MUCH LEFT IN THE BARREL LIFE
The gun itself works any one know what the resale value would be ?
I wonder what other cal. can it be re bored to.

Probably not, it is either a 32 RF or a 32 H&R cf, neither of which is a high pressure round.  Probably mosdtly good as a collector, you can buy both rounds, but the 32 rf is not cheap.  Larry
A gun is just like a parachute, if you ever really need one, nothing else will do.

When I was about 10 (close to a few years ago) I remember an octagon barreled single shot in a local hardware store.  It was indeed .32 Rimfire.  Couldn't tell you the name of it though.

If you want shoot it best bet is to have it sleeved. If you want to just have it because it is history than leave it as is JMO
