Haven't come across one either.
If I do , I'm hoping that I have the wherewithal not to clutch it to my chest while
murmuring 'Jesus Christo' repeatedly and then asking if the seller will take less!
The hunt is part of the fun.

Sounds like a fine set-up to me.
I've got a K31 and all the gear to load lead, but I ended up with 'quite a bit' of Wolf jacketed
so I won't be reloading lead for it soon.
I have good quantities of 5744 and will start the Swiss loads with 24 grs. and work up looking for best accuracy.
Your...
My .02 is yes, get it.
That is a seldom encountered late model Colt (the old Colt as we knew it) in a rare barrel length.
I really don't believe you can get hurt on this one.
Your money and choice of course.

Like Jim and others mentioned, best to forget about putting a barrel on there for those handgun rounds, the 94 was not made for them
and we all know how Winchester's attempt at a 94 in 44 mag turned out.
I'd be curious to see if you could get a reputable shop to attempt it on a factory deluxe...
Like Old Dog, no artistry here.
Dual tone Mauser P.38 with a War 2 German Nahkampfmesser.
My P5 with an Anton Wingen gravity knife.
A post war East German made PP with the small size Wingen gravity knife.
All for now, time to start digging out more guns to match up.

I really do think it will be a LOT of hulls.
I've pulled split brass base AA hulls apart before and recall that the 'brass base' is just a very thin
layer around the base.
The brass would need to be removed from the plastic base to get scrapped at my recycling center.
Brass bases are on modern...
The Model 70 used a magazine within the magazine well. No special work was required on the receiver rails.
Winchester instead just hung a spring loaded cartridge pusher off the bottom of the bolt
to feed the (slightly staggered) shells that sat much lower in the gun than, say your standard '06...
It sure looks like a FAL to me with those sights and the angled milled out recess type 2 receiver.
The trailer I watched showed FALs (that gave me a chance to freeze on) used by the defending forces, but you are correct Robert,
they should have had UK SLRs if they had self loaders at all!
Lots...
Hopefully the photo shown isn't the add for the movie.
Ouch!, just checked you-tube and saw the netflix trailer photo too.
The guy is clearing carrying a Type 2 FAL in 1961?
But hey, that's Hollywood for you.
JT
Can't argue with that.
One of the easiest calibers to re-load and to find a good load for.
My 624
And let's not forget Colt has made some nice ones too.
JT
cfull said it all.
700X is my number one choice for comfortable
and accurate .44 Special loads (and I give his posts credit for steering me to try it).

Don't think the one pictured in the OP qualifies as a commemorative.
IIRC, the adjustable sight guns did not come out until mid/late 1950, not 1949 as inferred by the ad and laser etching.
And the medallion is on the right stock panel as well (original guns had but one medallion), if they...
OP is not clear if the SS number was actually engraved or, most likely, scratched in with an electric pencil.
Over the years, I've been able to mostly get rid of electric pencil jobs with a dremel and/or a drill with a slightly bent
dremel attachment shaft. Using the power of the dremel to speed...
I've shot Herco in 9mm (as well as many other calibers from 32acp thru the .44s)
for over 30 years. 6.4 grs. with Hornaday's 124 gr. FMJ.
My favorite powder in both the .380 and the 9.
The Hercules powder company liked it so much they named it after their company
(you know, way back when...
I agree with dannyd on this. I remember when it was first introduced.
Now here I disagree a bit.
When it was introduced, they (either Western or Accurate, to many years ago!!) ran a special on it at two or three dollars a pound
to get the word about it out.
My friend and I both bought 32 lbs...
