While probably not surprising and likely true of most 100 year old mechanical items, I have found they really benefit from a good cleaning and careful reassembly. I think they are the coolest thing going and a really cool way to hunt.
I have dies and loads for my guns in 25-35, 30-30 and 32-40. I have done the least with the 32-40. I am considering working up .32 loads with the leverevolution flex tips soon.

Michael Petrov's post named "Bob Jones" as the successor. I think the proper name is Bob Smith. A very rare error in MP's postings.

Definitely a hand load proposition. I got 5 boxes of John Wayne Commemorative ammo in the deal. It's .32-40 but for what it's bringing for collectors I'll sell it and buy brass.

There seem to be a lot of the Hollebeck guns around. The Three Gun ones Cherry's have are all Damascus barrels that I could see and the condition on those wasn't as nice as the one I picked up. The one they have for $1750 has a little more engraving on the receiver, the bear and deer, but condition wise it is no better than the one I bought and I paid less with the ammunition.

I'll get up with Marks_21. Thanks for the tip. I'd like to know more about the company.

I see my post back on the first page of this thread is from before I got Rudy Kostelecky's copy of the Three-Barrel and Royal Gun Co. ledger for the three-barrel guns. Rudy's Gun Shop in Cantonment, Florida, had a lot of the remains of the Hollenbeck/Three-Barrel/Royal Gun Co.'s back in the day. From the ledger we can add .25-35 WCF and .25-36 Marlin to the rifle calibers.

Give me the serial number on your new toy and I can check what the ledger has.
