Pressure . . . if you don't reload, I'd go for the Federals currently being marketed by Midway. Pressure is something in the neighborhood of 5-6,000 psi. Especially designed for vintage guns.

Wasn't it nice of Don to explain, in one sentence (OK, three sentences), why restored guns are worth less than honest field used guns? Of course, it will fly right over the heads of those who are in the seller's chair. The buyers will hear what they want to hear.

Larry, I looked at the Federals on the Midway site and cannot decide which low pressure product you are refering to. Which item is the low pressure shell ? Thanks, Daryl

Here's the link.. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=417403&t=11082005It's been common practice for years for English guns to be refreshed without taking a big nose dive in value like American guns do. The sling swivels bug me more than anything else about the gun...but I figure the guy is buying the gun to use...not to collect dust.

Joe's got it, Daryl.
The Brits are not as picky about "restoration" as we are, mainly because it was common practice--especially so for higher grade guns--to go into the shop after the season for a bit of "freshening up". American collectors have much more of a mania about "original condition".
