TRADE Peabody Rifle in .43 Spanish + reloading sup
Yesterday at 10:36am
Print Post  
Ive had my fun with my .43 spanish peabody and would like to try another. My Peabody is an unissued, franco prussian capture example with a wonderful stock, metal, bore and case color hardening on the lock. I have 30 fireformed cases to accompany it.   It is a very accurate rifle with standard .43 spanish reloads. A duel cavity bullet mold specifically cut for the rifle if I you can supply me a mold in return.

I am hoping to trade the rifle for a m71 carbine, Gueades, Comblain or Werder rifle. With reloading gear would be most appreciated.

If interested, please call 253 442 4363. I have many high quality photos i do not wish to resize here on this site, and send onto you directly.

Could you reference a source for the specific mold you have for the rifle? Always on the lookout for tweaks to the design/dimensions for the bullet for this caliber in the Peabodys.

Or, If it's easier, send photos of the mold and the source info via email:   jwellsgnr@gmail.com

I'm already up to my eyeballs in Peabody's after chasing them for 40 years, and don't have any of the specific firearms you are seeking, so I'm afraid i won't be much help on the trade.  Wink Cool

Hey Jhon,

The mold was cut by accurate and is essentially a lyman 446110 that is 400g. I then have sizers from  439 to .447 to accommodate all of my  43 caliber rifles. Its works in all of them and the heavier weight gives me a 150 yard zero.

I always wanted a 50 caliber peabody
