    I'm looking for an old functioning revolver with a decent bore chambered in .38s&w or .38colt.
    Looks don't matter, as long as it's shootable. I prefer a break top but it's not a requirement.

    If you have seen one in a lgs or pawn shop let me know.

    $150 is my limit.
    They are all over GunBroker for $125ish but with shipping and ffl they run $200+.

    Always several at the gun shows, I don't have a price for you but i'm sure there in your price range?

    I haven't been to a show in years. All I ever saw was shamwow, candles, and ar/ak.

    I know a fellow. He found one in his wall when he was remodeling his house. I'll reach out to him.

    Ok. Thanks

    I think Bayou Pawn in Walker has a nice looking H&R top break 38 S&W revolver. I'm not sure of the price. It looks just like the 999 Sportman top break .22 Revolver.

    Ok. Thanks. I'll swing by

    Should be able to pick up an H&R 732, etc. in 32 S&W long. 32-20's are usually found in a S&W revolver. The H&R's will fire 32acp also with it's semi-rim. I shoot them in my Ruger SP101 4" 327 Fed Mag. If you can bite the bullet and pay more, I'd recommend the SP101. I had a Ruger Single 7 in 327 also and it's a great revolver but I just like the SP101 the most and it's easier to load and unload. Before this one, I had the same thing in 32 H&R Mag before the 327 came out.
    I thought I saw a 732 on La. Sportsman Classifieds. I think there was a SP101 in 32 HR Mag on there at one time also. You can shoot acp, short and long, and mags in it and all of those and 327 in the one I have.
