Due to the main focus of this site on the collecting and shooting
of C&R and military surplus firearms in their collectible original configurations,
sporterizing topics (ex. "how-to sporterize", or "hey, check out my cool sporter") will not be permitted in these fourms.
Thankyou,

Nowhere Mike, it's a bottle neck case and realistically a .40 caliber cartridge. Why did the call it a .38? Well why are all .38's really a .35, at best, .36 caliber?

Here's Skeeter Skelton on three cartridges including the 38-40--- http://www.darkcanyon.net/They_Were_Good_But.htm No pics there either...
