MAS 1873 Revolver

[read6737]

You can make the cases from 44-40.
Lee do dies to reload. 11mm lead bullets are about for them.
I bought the last 2 molds that Lee made, about 7yrs ago. I think they could make you one to order.
Balleurope do make bullets RN453 179g

MY 1873 is not nice to look at but internals fine.
Solid as a rock. normal checks for BP ie cleaning.
then all the usual revolver checks.

here is a better link to the same place as above

Thanks guys. I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't think it's all matching but I can't really see the numbers well. It has quite a bit of color variation. Owner says it will probably clean off. I can't tell from the photos.
