You could get good money for that from a New Orleans Saints fan !!!!

Range report please! I think with a little practice the results might be surprising.

The OP's new and unique (thank God) configuration has perhaps inspired my next "million dollar" idea:

Early orders accepted.

Somehow, no matter how hard I try, I just can't get in the Mooooed for a pair of those.

I can't complain too much about chopped old belly guns. I carry this one every day.

Ya; but that's a nice looking gun!!!!!!!

I like it....hey it's a big bore belly gun.....so what if it's "cosmetically challenged".... I bet you are the only guy on the forum with one like it.....then again....maybe not. Now go "gas it up" and shoot it.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
In all seriousness, you did great! The frame looks to be in great shape and I kinda like the finish. You wanna sell it? I've got several project N frame barrels and cylinders just waiting for a good frame to put them on. One future project in particular is a .44-40 factory cylinder and a .44 cal mountain gun barrel.
Here's one I put together with an otherwise ruined British .455 frame. It's a barrel and cylinder from a PC 625-10 with a lot of hand work.

I like everything about that one, including and especially the grips.
