Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

BACO is always a great supplier for anything single shot. If you don't mind the price and don't want to mess with shortening or lengthening brass their .30-40 Krag brass reworked to this cartridge is the way to go. Especially if you want 100 pcs. as their prices get even better the more you purchase.

Should be easier than finding Norma or other European 9.3x72R brass these days (just cut to length).

My very favorite Rolling Block (only because original sporting models are as rare as hens'teeth in France...).
I've had moderate success having it to shoot with 32-40 brass and am currently modifying 9.3X72R into "thick neck" 8X57R-360 brass...

I have also found out that an Austrian company is remaking most of these obsolete calibers and thei correctly sized and marked brass. A box of 20 rounds cost the equivalent of $100 though...

You might also be interested by this version, in 28 gauge... Smiley

Sold recently for $700, unfortunately not to me...

Hi, freebird! How are things in France? That second one is not a 33 is it?

No, the 2nd gun is not a Type 33, but appears to be a Danish #1 type action. I often see these built as shotguns on this action.

Hi Chauncey,all good here in the "other" South West  Smiley

The second gun I posted is Husqvarna made, and not a transformed rifle. It has very distinctive cut and curves on the receiver to allow the wider than normal breech to open.

It's not a model 33, but appears in the list of Husqvarna RB that I have unfortunately misplaced somewhere on my computer...

I also think it is a model 10, but the description on Rex.gl (I finally managed to find it again...) states the barrel should be 1/3rd octogonal 2/3rd round. This one is full round.

I had one of these I bought at the Denver show some years back that was a 16 gauge and had a nickeled receiver. The chamber area of the barrel was octagon for about 4" and then round. It was cheap at $200, and was in pretty nice shape. I sold it to a Swedish gal at the first Colorado Springs show.
