I bought a couple after market mags for a Colt. 32 that I have never
fired. I don't even remember where I got it. I went out back today and it would fire one round and eject the empty brass but not chamber another. MAG problem?

    While doing some home repais, I just came across what appears to be a 1917 Colt .32. Besides being very old, it appears to be in good shape. I have checked it out with the local police to make sure that it wasn't stolen. Does anyone know what something like this would be valued at and how to go about selling it? Or is this something that I should hold onto?

    Try different kinds of ammo, before blaming the magazines. Some of the European made .32 ammo that I have shot seemed to be loaded hoter then US ammo. Also disassemble the Colt clean it and lube it well, to make sure that not part of the problem.

    I got out the kit yesterday so tomorrow the big cleansing begins. As far as ammo that may be a monetary problem that may take some time. I'll look at the ammo tomorrow and try it again after the cleaning.
    I'll give a report soon, Thanks.
