Demo and shooting video of a Hopkins & Allen G.W.T.& R. Mountain Eagle 32 rimfire manufactured in 1882. This one in is very fine condition both mechanically and finish.
G.W. Turner & Ross was a Boston based retailer that contracted Hopkins & Allen to manufacture about 10,000 of these branded pistols in the early 1880's. The retailer was a high end store that had onsite gunsmiths and engravers. This exact model of pistol is listed in their 1882 catalog for $2.75.
This is the identical model to the Hopkins & Allen Ranger 2.
The ammo used for the shooting segment is rare viable authentic vintage ammo loaded with black powder. Copper casings with soft lead 80gr bullet.
It really lets outs out a smoke cloud!
