Antique 1873 French MAS revolver w/ ammo

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. Attached is a photo of a sub 3" group with the factory Fiochi at 17m / 56'.

Minor surface rust and patina on the outside with light patch of corrosion in the bore, but rifling is strong and bright. It shoots accurate, lock up and indexing is orefect. I have 2, so I'm selling one. It has been ultrasonic cleaned and re-oiled with CLP on the bare metal parts. Cylinder throats have been opened up slightly to 0.4525 to shoot more accurately by a gunsmith then the revolver will be Cerakoted black. 

Comes with:

• 908 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) 

I can also sell pure lead (~5 brinnel) or 20:1 cast (~10 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. The photo attached is bullets removed from 10% ordinance gelatin. The hollowpoint in the picture was cast from pure lead. Can send more photos of gel tests and groups of requested.(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. Price does not include pending cerakote job.
