Just got this for fifty b you cost I was wondering if anyone had any info on this gun I've yet to find a reliable source



(remington scoremaster a.k.a "squirrelmaster")

It looks like the little brother to my IJ .38 S&W (5-shot), 3rd model. Circa 1909.

If you fire it, be careful what ammo you choose to use. I would think it probably predates todays pressures.

Not much to say about them. They made about 64 gazillion of them. Fifty to one hundred is about the average price. Even when new they did not have a very tight lock-up. Shoot it at your own risk and if you do stand well away from other people(yes I have shot a few of them to). I have to say that they are a piece of American history.

Pretty much agree with hiwall-
I've had a couple in my CAS days-
Be dam carefull - if your not familiar with such have a gunsmith check it out
BTW- They're a hoot to shoot with black powder loads

Iver vas a goot Norvegan boy that was a gunsmith, emigrated to the US, and set up a gun making business in Mass, about 1871. When the company closed in 1993, they had made a few bazillion guns.

While not real high dollar guns, they were well made, and used a transfer bar system for the firing pin (pressure on an uncocked hammer puts NO pressure on firing pin)

DO have a smith check the timing. Modern 32 S&W ammo should be fine (stick w/ round nosed lead) your gun was well after black powder era, and SAAMI on .32 S&W is mild.

By the way, a .32 IJ worked well enough to assasinate President McKinley-

If you have ever heard reference to an "Owl's Head" revolver- that be it. They also made rifles, shotguns, and bicycles.

and motorcycles

there isn't much consistant info on alot of the working class revolvers from back in the day, but i believe a pretty thorough book was written by Bill Goforth about iver johnsons if you want to find more info.

oh, & in case no one told you yet for the love of god don't shoot 32 auto in it.
