New Toy- Euroarms 36 New Navy

[THBailey]

Picked this gun up on an online auction. It looks to be unfired and the general quality looks OK. Most all of what looks like blemishes in the photos is actually the preservative grease from, I assume, the factory. I have a few 44's but this is my first 36. Anyone shooting one of these? Guessing the .375 cast ball is the way to go.

Nice! The Euroarms Navy is built on a smaller frame, actually the correct size, than the .44 and all the other .36's are on the .44 frame. Ought to be a sweet shooter, wish I had one. .375 should work and 18 grains of 3f is near the most accurate load.

I have the Pietta version. Nice thing about these guns is that they have greater powder capacity. Makes shooting conicals at decent velocities possible. You can hot rod ball loads too and still get decent accuracy. I've loaded as much as 27 grains without losing accuracy in my revolver. Enjoy your new revolver it looks like a sweet shooter.

This is the load I use in my .36 plus a filler of farina to bring the ball up flush to the chamber mouth.

Using .380 may produce better accuracy. It does in mine.

I load fill the cylinder level full of 3f,press in the ball, grease over the ball. Don't know the exact amt. of powder. Can easily break clays at 25 yrds.
