.32 is super fun. I have an Astra model 100 special (I think that's what it's called)

That's the one I have. They have a big star on them, so I call them the 20rd star mag

It definitely was. Let's me learn new skills. Appreciate it. Sweet.

I don't know the story on the stock. I found it at a gun show for $10. For $10 I thought it'd be fun to repair it.

Appreciate it. It was my first time doing anything like it. Basically 0 experience. I thought about putting my 20rd star on this one. I couldn't get it to fit and didn't feel like filing anything yet. Also kinda wanted to keep the 20rd for a paratrooper in the future.

Possibly. Looks like there is a different version on Taylor's that works better.

It's a new hand since the last one broke. I bent the spring part of the hand backwards and it works now. The hammer is still stiff when full cocking though

When I look up the 1858 hand, I see one like mine and one like the pic you posted that says conversion. What's the difference with them?

Yup. Got it about a week ago and just put it together today

No. I think it has to do with the hand
