Hi, I casually found one of these revolvers from a japanese retailer some months ago... since I had no notice of them I came here to do a search in order to see if this had been discussed before and found not only that, I see that Todd himself it has been the man who convinced Tanaka to make the gun...

Fedora_Smith

Ok, thank you. I have one more question, I know that 'chestnut acetate' is something like 'dark brown', but the 'blonde' it appears to me more like a reddish tone than a brown one. Isn't it?

Fedora_Smith

Hello, I'm thinking on purchasing the Berkshire Chase frame (I will fit the lenses later with my optometrist), but I'm not sure of the accurate colour of the front. I read time ago that the correct colour is 'blonde acetate', but recently have seen several opinions proposing the 'chestnut acetate' (...

My WPG bag had the same problem, but mine was due to the normal diary wear, I simply stitched it again and no problem. It must be disappointing when this happen with a new one, :cry: but as you say, the cost of shipping again the bag from Spain isn't worthwhile. As said Shawnkara, Repair it with thi...

Hey! Great holster, but... It's your hat a Federation? I like how looks!

Fedora_Smith

Ey! Que esta pasando aqui! Por un momento no sabia que estaba pasando acostumbrado a leer en inglés en el foro y ver esto ha sido un

. Brutal.

Un Saludo a todos!

It would help (for me too), but the major part of the people on the forum are English spoken and the majority rules!

Hey Auntsugar, On that site you can find the Marushin Kit - Enfield No2 Mk 1, the price is $140 and it's exactly the same gun I have. The 6th item from above. They accept paypal. http://www.uncompany.com/pageproduct.asp?subcatid=112 http://www.uncompany.com/images/cap-mkk-enfield-no.2mk1_big.jpg ima...

Fedora_Smith

How much does the Enfield weigh? Is it all plastic, or are there metal parts? How do the brass shells work? Do you put caps inside them? It weights near 2pounds loaded, although it's made plastic, there are several metal parts (all parts which could suffer "hard" use are made in metal, li...

Fedora_Smith

PM sent Cooler King!

Fedora_Smith

Yes! It opens and the shell extractor moves up to take out them. I purchased it tru Ebay to a Japanese seller who runs a hobby shop. I asked him about a possible Marushin's Webley MkVI, he said that marushin never made a Webley replica :( . http://usuarios.lycos.es/Peredevis/images/openenfield.jpg T...

Fedora_Smith

I received my new blank firing gun a few days ago. It's an Enfield No2 MkI Replica!... Well itsn't a Webley but was it's successor! An interesting point of the kit is that comes completely disassembled in the box, and all parts, including the firing mechanism are replied from the original :D. Marush...

Fedora_Smith

It's Great! I've both, an original MKVII bought from Noel Howard and that great replica from WPG. I thought my original one was too precious :lol: for walking around with it, so I ordered a WPG bag for "hard use" an it's great. More than colour, the only finding I met on the replica (being...

Fedora_Smith

I'm truely sorry Auntsugar! I bought that enfield you posted to the forum, I waited a few days before placing a bid. The seller who has sent me the Gun has a shop in Japan which usually have these type of replicas. You should contact him: This is the web site (altough now he is updating the items): ...

Fedora_Smith

Uuh, Oh. I fell in love with this gun. I know, it's plastic, but the law is really strong with real firing guns here... so, I just bought that Enfield MarkI!! :D . http://members.lycos.nl/abpw/06-old_revolvers/images/Enfield_No2_MKI-13_by_DOC.jpg The gun on the auction is the same model of these two...

Fedora_Smith

HeY! That's a cool gun! Interesting... I'm very tempted.

Fedora_Smith

No, only the lower one is blank firing. I bought it on a Gun Store; But can be found online at the Alfa Proj. website.

Fedora_Smith

Ey, that one seems very accurate!! Good work!

That research work would be easier if Indy carried a "Swiss McGyver style" multiuse pocket knife!!

Fedora_Smith

Hi,

This one is a six shooter, also fires blanks and it's fine finished (not junky foundry). It's very similar to the Smith&Wesson. Made by Alfa Proj. in Czech Republic. Maybe an alternative...

Fedora_Smith

Thank you guys! I will keep in mind this in making my new holster.

Thanks.

Fedora_Smith

Hi, I've a doubt; when I made my Raiders holster, I placed the closing button under the flap, this is, at the holster itself passing trough the flap and finally fastening on the strap. But I recently seen pictures of a holster which had the button seized directly to the flap. I thought this was less...

Fedora_Smith

Hi,

I was wondering where I could get one of this metal "buttons" which serves to close the holster. I've been asking on several leather shops but they are hard to find.

Thanks, 8-[

Fedora_Smith

Hey,was just a question, about your sarcastic words against them, I guessed you had a french girlfriend who left you last night,...a french guy scratched your car... or something like this, but if the problem is with the WHOLE France... :( I'm Spaniard, (Here in a small and forgotten country beside ...

Fedora_Smith

What's the problem with the French? They seem good people.

Fedora_Smith

I think too that this Fabric A has too much grain (looks thick) for an Indy Shirt which is something like cotton. (I think)

I could post a detail pic of a NH shirt fabric if you want.

Fedora_Smith

I found mine on a Gun Store here in Spain, but you can e-mail directly to the company, asking for gun models or distributors on the US.

here is a link:

and their mail address: prodej@alfa-proj.cz

I hope this help you!

Fedora_Smith

Hi Rick! I've found this one, itsn't a S&W, but it's very closer to the K-frame. Has a 4" barrel and It's blank firing. (Cal.38.) I think it's a very well finished gun, I never seen this quality in a blank firing gun -all the mechanism pieces are machined -not fundition like most commonly r...

Fedora_Smith

Thank you Chamorro!!

It's indifferent for me the holster (Noel or Keppler) I want these measures as reference to cut the leather approximately and begin to work.

That's great help.

Thanks!!!!

Fedora_Smith

Anybody got a holster?

Fedora_Smith

Hi! I've got a relatively big piece of raw and thick leather, and I think I can cut a holster from it (Although I never stitched leather, but thrill counts :D ). I need anybody who owns a Raiders Holster (I think the one on the picture it's a Noel Howard) could give me (kindly) these two measures I'...

Fedora_Smith

Hey! With this toy gun you could make a very good replica of the "Raiders Smith&Wesson" by cutting down the barrel and molding new hand grips!!!, since it's very similar to a real Smith.

And for ONE buck, (You shouldn't be afraid by customizing it). That's a great deal at least.

Fedora_Smith

So one of my assumptions for the hand ejector was valid; I'm now more paceful by knowing what refers HE

.

Many Thanks.

Michaelson: thanks too for the PM.

Fedora_Smith

I wrote here what the book says. I don't know what weapon carried General Patton. I thought was a peculiar detail. This is the book were I read this info: WWII Collectibles; Harry Rinker Jr. & Robert Heistand (Quantum Books). But this is not the major object of my question. My question is about ...

Fedora_Smith

Michaelson, I've found this gun in a WWII book, is the 1917 model as you know. But I'm confused, what is the difference with the Hand Ejector which uses Indy? Apart from cut down barrel and handgrips. What refer exactly the words Hand Ejector? They are referred to the mode for "eject" the ...

Fedora_Smith

Thank you Michaelson! I'm amazed with your gun knowledge!! Yes, mine it's 6 shot. It's made by a Czech Republic factory (Alfa-Proj. I think). The gun has a very good finishing, and sounds like a clock when it's armed. I'm very happy with it. :D Thanks for the frame info. My doubt is if I can hold th...

Fedora_Smith

Hello, I got this gun a few weeks ago, the one which looks like a S&W. Compared with the webley, I think it's a bit small (I know, the webley is a big monster :D ). I never had on my hands a Smith & Wesson hand ejector revolver, I'd like to know if a real S&W looks like this one in size....

Fedora_Smith

Yes! I think this also, Manobles, the "Big Ugly" has style,

. It's a very "aesthetic" gun. So my choice is the Webley, and second the Smith&Wesson.
