Unfortunately I was unable to make the trip to Cody but I must say I’ve enjoyed reading about the guns, treasures and experiences everyone has shared on the forum. Keep posting!
I did however come up with a model 43 standard in the most difficult to find caliber, 32-20. I’ve personally only found 2 for sale since I’ve been looking over the past 11 yrs. Thank you to Bert for graciously prompting me in the acquisition as to authenticity and production figures from his Mod. 43 survey. It was a new addition and I’ve posted a few poor pictures displaying markings and condition. Bert if there are any other views you need to see, I’ll do my best to post them. I feel certain this gun was fired very little as it is in far better condition than I had anticipated in viewing the posted auction pictures.

Nice score! The 32WCF is the only Model 43 chambering I currently load but after learning of its scarcity I haven’t spent much time looking for one. Your persistence was rewarded!

On a purely selfish note, if you need factory magazines, I have a few…. and I’ll be at the MVCA show next weekend in Kansas City…. let me know and I will toss them into my checked bag. Always glad to “help”! 🙂 Cheers! Ben
Not at all selfish Ben. I appreciate your offer but we have a scheduling conflict and I’m unable to make the MVCA show this weekend. What have you been getting for them these days? I may pursue getting one from you later.
Thank you for sharing,
Darrin
