“XL” was a brand name used by Hopkins & Allen to cover several different styles of revolver, but the first were a series of rimfire, spur-hammer pocket guns made in the 1870s and 1880.
It is not a big job to reface the striker holes if you may have this issue present.Ĭall me if you need any other evaluation from afar or if you have any questions.Lot 1104 in the September 2020 RIA Premier auction. This little piece of wood on the right side will get you in the eye or face.
Gas blowback will force through the firing pin holes and blow off the corner ear on the stock just behind the striker wall. If they are oversized or not round anymore it could be a dangerous problem. You need to look at the firing pin holes. Many damascus guns were proofed with Nitro, not BP. You need to know if it is truly damascus and what it was proofed at. The proof is very important because during the time period your gun was likely imported some steel barrels were roll marked with a damascus pattern. The full-length tubes insert by hand and are essentially an inner barrel in a smaller gauge that will allow you to shoot regular loads of the smaller gauge without worrying about the original barrels being subjected to anything. It will be so over-bored that it will not build up enough pressure to worry about (if the gun is in good shape) but it will still pattern very good. It allows you to shoot 20 or 28 gauge out of your 12. The short adapters are a few inches long and will work with your extractors on the gun. There is also the option of using chamber adapters or tubes. In spite of being 2.75 inch ammo the Win Featherlites will generate less pressure than a 1 ounce load 1200 fps pushed by BP. You should also be able to fire the Winchester Featherlite ammo (26 grams 990 fps) that is readily available and priced like other AA ammo. RST brand 65mm ammo is available on-line or by calling them and Poly-wad makes them too. Next, evaluate the bore condition - pitting? dents? rust? Next, see if the gun is on face. Look on the barrels for the proof marks and let's see what it was.
