The fellow who sold me this Remington-Smoot new model no.2 revolver had made this brief shooting range video demo of this .32 cal.rim fire revolver, however, I suspect that he is only firing blank rounds.
Welcome to my airgun and antique firearm blog. I post photo's of my personal collection, and a myriad of pic's and information on Air pistols, air Rifles, and pre-1898 Antique Black Powder Guns... and occasionally I will post images of various confiscated, improvised, modified howmemade firearms from around the world.

My winter-time 2021-22 Antique Revolver repair & restoration projects!
Due to the difficulty in finding a regular, reliable & affordable source of obsolete gun parts, I recently decided to look for antique revolver "project/parts guns", and after a month and half of browsing & reading, I now have two rim fire project guns to repair & restore during the fridgid months ahead of Canadian winter weather.
From the left to right: the first project gun in the photo is the "Stirling" .38 calibre rimfire spur trigger revolver, which was most likely manufactured by Hopkins & Allen between 1870's and 1890's.
The second project gun, is a Forehand & Wadsworth "Russian model 32" rimfire spur trigger revolver that I recall reading about, was probably made between 1870's and 1889.
Both revolvers definitely require a few new springs & some simple little parts to be repaired or replaced completely.
They can be original factory parts bought from stores like Numrich that can be hand fitted to the gun, or just make the part yourself.
I am planning to do a bit of both, and I have begun to keep up a daily routine of browsing through Numrich's parts inventory, as well as a few other small Parts selling online companies that I have ordered various gun parts from in the past few years.

Winter 2021-22 home gunsmith project: (Hopkins & Allen?) "Sterling" .38RF Spur Trigger Revolver
I came across this .38 caliber Rimfire revolver the other day that needs a little work and a good cleaning which was priced accordingly, and so I bit the bullet, and spent money that I can't afford to spend, but I know it will be worth it and I now have a interesting winter project.
