Wtf is this shit

I found this in my garage today, a relic that Glenn had told me we had before. I don't know anything about it and would like to have someone examine it, tell me what exactly it is, and see if it would be safe to fire.

Feed it with Sellier & Bellot 73gr FMJ, and it'll purr for you...7.65 Browning and .32ACP are pretty much the same thing. The cases are in fact completely identical, but the Europeans preferred the slightly more rounded ogive on the 73gr bullet, rather than the more pointed 71gr more common in America. It's a tiny difference, but if you get nose-up failure-to-feed with a European .32, odds are its the ammo.

As long as your barrel and chamber are good, it will be ok.

 

You might be VERY surprised at just how accurate it is, too. These were literally just shy of target guns.

I was going to mention the same thing (but was replying from my phone), since it is Euro it will like most any 73 better. 71gr's tend to shoot, but you will also see keyholes occasionally, esp out of FN stuff.

Seconded (thirded?)

 

I don't have the same exact gun, but one of my "drawer guns" is an old e-bloc .32 and it shoots really well with S&B. It's not crazy overpriced usually either as .32 stuff goes.
