Howdy

I paid $800 for this one a few months ago. It has been reblued. A reasonable job of rebluing except the side plate was rounded over a bit. Hammer and trigger were blued too. Lock up at the latch was a little bit loose, but that has been taken care of. Front sight was not original, but that has been taken care of too. Barrel/cylinder gap is a little bit large, and the bore and chambers are pitted, but the rifling is still strong.

Yes, this one is chambered for 44 Russian and I do shoot it. Still very accurate. But I only shoot it with Black Powder so as not to overstress anything.
