Spanish Paramount 6.35mm... Baby Ruby
« on: October 28, 2019, 01:45:31 PM »
Another I've been sitting on.. A Spanish Paramount in 25acp. I'm guessing from the 20's era. It's pretty much a scaled down Spanish Ruby which follows the Browning M1903 hammerless design. After I got it, it spent quiet a while in an ultrasonic cleaner, it was gummed up badly from dried oil and you could barely pull the trigger and when you released the slide, it slowwwlllly moved forward. Once cleaned and lubed up, it choked on the first few rounds, then cleared up, and performed great.







I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse......

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

I said I was an addict........I didn't say I had a problem
