Thanks to certain unnamed enablers I’ve apparently become infatuated with loading tools and moulds over the last several months. Today I was at the Texas Gun Collectors’ Show and I noticed an 1880 patent 32-40 loading tool. As I have a 32-40 mould and a Single Shot (and 1894) in 32-40 I had to buy it, right? Next table over had a nice 1894 (DOM 1905) and the seller kept dropping his price so it followed me home as well. Pics to follow (maybe) on the 1894.

Nice vintage collection you have started there Mike.

And I hope your skeet shooting has better results. ?

Thanks, Rick. Neglected to mention my latest 1894 is chambered in 32-40 AND the nice 1894 TD I snagged in Cody just happens to be chambered in 32-40. I guess it was meant to be.
