Hey guys, I'm attempting to purchase a second Hopkins & Allen no.6 double action revolver for my collection, and Im trying to find any information that can help me determine exactly what year they stopped making these, and if the gun was designed for black powder and not...

I recently picked up this Old Hopkins and Allen single shot 12ga shotgun. I'd like to use it as a turkey gun. It takes 2 3/4 shells obviously no magnum rounds. My question is this, with the age of this firearm should shooting modern 12ga 2 3/4 rounds be safe for this firearm?

OK I feel kind of stupid. Took an old Hopkins and Allen 5 shot revolver apart and got everything back together but can not figure out where the V shaped spring goes. Have searched everywhere but can not find a drawing. Does anyone have one or could they sketch one? Thank you. Chris

I recently acquired a H&A safety police top break revolver. Its chambered in 32 (I believe S&W) however I'm not positive as to if it is black powder or smokeless. Beneath the grip is the serial number 806 and the patent date is Aug 21 1906. It's not perfect and I don't really care what it's...
