Hello to all of you

I introduce myself: The Doc (P Mangenot), French from Burgundy.

In love just like you of the inventions of our famous JMB. Owner of a few Auto-5 like every serious man...

I acquired a few years ago now a Remington Mod 8 in .32 rem that works perfectly. The only difficulty is to find brass in this caliber. The ammunition that I was able to find are old and brass split very easily

I will put pictures next days

Being in love with these weapons, and loving the production of the FN Herstal very much, I was glad to find (for a reasonable price) a Browning 1900 in fairly good condition, except for the forend which was split entirely in two and very badly glued. It's a long story I'll also put you detailed photos

I am very happy to be in good company on this forum and wish you a happy new year

Welcome to the group! There are many knowledgeable guys on here, with many years of experience. This site has just about every piece of info you could need. Enjoy!

Case neck & shoulder annealing may help a great deal. Though avoid any heating with live primers. And BE SURE to not let the base & body heat much. If you have access I REALLY like the RCBS 170g mould. Seems accurate in the 32 REM. The 9mm - 35 cal moulds in 180g are very good, and use less metal. If new to casting study Lee's Modern reloading, and the Lyman Cast "boolit" references. The right alloy of cast is very important for these rifles..
Is it possible we have transferred "Jackitis" overseas?

Hello to our newest member. Welcome aboard to our forum. You’ll find many knowledgeable members here who are willing to help you.It looks as though 2 have already responded. Your FN1900 rifle is quite rare here in the USA. They were never distributed in this country.Most of the ones you see here are from Canada or bring backs from Europe and the two world wars. The question for you now is whether the buffer spring from a model 8 will work in your rifle. I just sold the only one that I ever had to a fellow forum member. So I can’t help you there. But my experience with Browning Auto 5s has taught me that most parts are not interchangeable between Remington model 11 shotguns and the Browning A5. So it only stands to reason that most are not interchangeable between the Remington M8 and the FN1900. Good luck in your search. I wish you luck.
Thanks for your time
Roger

Thanks to all for help and sharing

Greetings to you and enjoy this forum.

I have also had problems with 32 Remington brass splitting. I use 30 Remington brass from Graf and Sons and neck it up with 32 Remington dies. I have not had problems with brass doing this.
