    I've got an ENFIELD ll* pistol that is of course DAO. If one of the SA/DA hammers can be found would it also be possible to change it to SA/DA?:uhoh:

    Webley MKII

    If my memory serves correctly they were:D 1900-1905 era pistols. These older ones shouldn't be converted to .45ACP as the metal isn't up to snuff. Although i'm sure alot were imported in the 50s-60s in .45ACP to make a quick sell.

    I have an old winchester model 94, Need help with make and year.

    i have a m94 serial no. 2819345.In my part of Tenn. the pre-64 ones in primo condition are going for about $550.00 to $700.00.It surprised me to see so many of the pre-64 ones in such good shape as most were bought for work horses and not safe queens.:D
