New Toy/First H&R Revolver
« on: August 20, 2011, 06:37:46 AM »
Well I just sold my Heritage Rough Rider and used the funds to buy this on gunbroker.com. I can't wait to have it in hand and give it a try ;D .

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.


In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

xd45nut,
Congrats - you have a very nice example of the H&R VICTOR.  Your piece derives from the SMALL FRAME H&R YOUNG AMERICA DOUBLE ACTION.  The VICTOR line (3 frame sizes - small: 7x.22; medium: 5x.32S&W; large: 6x.32S&W Long or 5x.38 S&W) was intended as a lower cost (round barrels and unfluted cylinders to save production costs) alternative to the "regular" H&R models and were sold through catalogues, hardware/hunting/sporting goods stores, etc.  The line was in production from circa 1912-13 into the mid 1930s.

They should, may need a bit of hand fitting, especially the "locater pin" hole in the back sides - depends on where the pin on your grip frame was located by the grip installer, back then.
ALSO, remember you have the SMALL Young America - make sure you order the correct size - the "Medium" for 5 shot .32 will not fit - they'll be a bit to large.

I may do that then. The right side grip has a chip in it.
