Just wanted to add a bit of info- I had reached out to a friend who also has a No. 3 in 375. He called last night to tell me he slugged his bore and it measured .377 also. So, with this limited group of 2 it appears the bores from the factory were .377. Interesting, and since I plan to shoot...

I have held off doing that until now, only because of 1) the cost, (due to collectability I guess) and 2) reports of the brass being brittle and cracking at the case mouth after one firing. But, feel free to PM me what you're looking to get out of them and we'll see what we can do. Thanks.

I know this is a looooong shot, but if anybody has any new 32-40 brass, or an idea where I can locate some, please let me know. I have a Marlin 1893 carbine that I'd love to shoot. I already have 38-55 and 32 Win brass I could resize, I would just rather not. Thanks in advance.

Just started the process of working up some loads and finishing my brass to reload my new-to-me .375 No. 3. Prior to ordering bullets I slugged the bore just to make sure, and came up with a .377 bore diameter. I slugged again to make sure, and it is definitely .377. This makes me wonder, did...

PM sent.

There's one on Gunbroker now with just the 32-20 cylinder for $899, almost 2 days left, no bids. I think the missing cylinder hurts the package more than just the cost of the cylinder, just my opinion. Of course, with GB shipping, fees and transfer, that puts you close to $1,000. I'd watch to...

The Hunter was offered to me too, but when I told him I'd been looking for a Bisley Hunter, he produced a picture of one of those and said it was for sale too. I've been had before, and it seemed too odd. I'm sorry for you guys, hope you can catch him.

Nice revolver. I really enjoy absorbing the knowledge here. They’ll never make them like that again. Glad I have the ones I have, don’t think I could afford them in today’s market.

Nice rifle. I have a No 3 in 223, and fell in love with the gun. I have desired a No 3 in 45-70 for a while now, and just made an online purchase yesterday. I should have it in hand in a week or so, but I'm really looking forward to handloading for it. I can see another No 3 in my future if...

I agree, beautiful rifle, should get some interest. I looked it up on my online bluebook subscription and it shows $1100 for a 100% RSI, but that seems low to me. Everything on Gunbroker seems high, so I've slowed down there until the newbies buy all they want and develop remorse. Let us...

Good advice, lol. I'd say at 150 units you are the most dedicated OM single action collector I'm aware of. I certainly love the ones I have, just over 10% of your number. If gunbroker prices mean anything, and I'm not sure they do, Ruger SAs are starting to see the appreciation due them...

LOT #3 SOLD to RatCat454. I tried to go back into the original post and edit as I have been doing, but it's Friday afternoon and I don't have enough brains cells left this week to figure it out. Thank You for the purchase, and to all who have purchased. It has helped me fulfill a promise to a...

I love them too. I am the current caretaker of Red Eagle Mark I SN 16975 and Standard SN 10866. Always on the lookout for another. Beautiful pistol.

This is one combo that has always made sense to me, and I've passed on several over the years thinking I'd find a better deal. I guess that's just one more my daughter won't have to worry about selling when I'm gone, lol. But if I ever run across a deal on one, I'm sure she'll be fine with it...

PM replied to. Thanks.
