'kay, Mikej - I thought that my contributions to this thread had just about died away, hence my comment. However, I just found this on YT -
I know that Eric tries to keep things on a level playing by telling things how they are, but telling people how incredibly expensive it is to reload .43 Spanish just ain't so. Brass is readily available from Bertram Brass, and bullets are, too, if are happy to cast. They don't need a gas check, either. Dies might be a problem, but hey, nothing is free these days.
Pal of mine here shoots his long rifle in this calibre, and it's a sweetie, easily holding inside five inches at 100m - plenty good enough for minute of furriner.

Could the .451 be the depth of the lands? I can also get a .443" depending on the position of the caliper.
i would tend to believe the bore is an original, unless it was common to change them pre 1950?
I found a way to make them work every time any time.I dig the fixed 20-rounder (SKS on right most). I had forgotten about those. Neat-o.

I haven't shot it. It's missing the left side grip panel and the only ammo I could find was $35 per round. OuchVery nice, have you shot it at all?
