Omg! Such great info here!

Yes, there is a white painted number on the gun. It’s a number 4. It is also a 4” barrel.

The gun seems to be in near perfect mechanical condition. I see little to know signs it was ever fired. The barrel and riffling is perfect. No pits. The action is good. But it looks like utter hell.

It’s being sold for $400 and has been sitting at my local LGS for almost two years. No one as the store knows anything about it. I have done all the research.

Here is my plan....

Gain all the facts. If this think is I fact a pakastani gun its probably the least collectible of any of them.

The black coating is about 80% worn off and is even on the grips.

If I can get the gun for $300, I can have it sand blasted, blued, cerokoted, or duracoated for about $250 and would look amazing. I want to shoot the gun and be able to tell the story.

Once I show it to my refinisher he will offer opinions about what would look best. Duracoat in gloss black would look amazing, but not very original. A matte black might look more original.
