Antique status! #'s matching!

(Not refinished and passed off as original condition as some of the "other guys" do on here)

Can be purchased without a firearm license (license required for ammunition). Can be legally open carried anywhere you can legally discharge a non-restricted firearm. Only needs to be stored unloaded and transported in a locked, opaque case. Slings lead comparable to .45 ACP energy. So excellent for predator defence. Rings steel at 25/50m like getting hit by a small sledgehammer. 

Minor surface rust and patina on the outside with some corrosion in the bore, but rifling is strong and bright. It shoots accurate and lock up is solid. I have 2, so I'm selling one. It has been ultrasonic cleaned and re-oiled with CLP on the bare metal parts. 

Comes with:

  • 914 rounds of Fiocchi 265 gr black box (the spicy stuff, sells for $90-100 a box)
  • FRT report verifying antique status
  • Firearms verification paperwork from a gun store showing it's antique status (not registered) 

Can have the cylinder throats opened up to 0.4525 to accurized the cylinders for addition cost (~$150-200) from a local gunsmith and provide a cerakote bundle from Black Box Customs for 10% off ($500) as I will be sending in two others to be accurized and bead blasted/coated as I have already purchased the reamer. I can also sell pure lead (8 brinnel) or 20:1 cast (13 brinell) Lyman Devistator 185gr HP projectiles or reloads when I cast my next batch in the spring. These will be appropriately sized to 0.452" and Lee alox lubed.  (Price TBD)

I can also connect with another seller who makes leather holsters in two different types for open carry hiking, hunting and camping.

PRICE IS FIRM. No trades please. Will ship at buyers expense.
