Default 38 cal

I RECIEVED AN OLDER MODEL 38 FROM MY 70 YEAR OLD UNCLE. IT IS SUBSCRIBED I.J.A & WKS 38 CAL. IT FURTHER SUBSCRIBED:

IVER JOHNSON CADET
MODEL 55SA PAT. PEND
I.J.A. & C. WKS.
FITCHBURG, MASS. USA
SERIAL #G34245

I TRIED TO LOAD WITH STANDARD 38 ROUNDS AND THEY WERE TO LONG. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFUL.

And the good news is that they are still available in the stores.

5. Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and] have no rest.

21. Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
