Finest '66 made

[Fox Creek Kid]

Breathtaking, despite the ravages of time.

It's pretty and all, if you like that sort of thing. But how well does it SHOOT??

FCK,

Think I've finally seen a firearm, if I owned it, I wouldn't play with.  Simply Magnificent.

Very nice indeed.

Still, I think I'd rather have that solid silver framed job made for some poobah in South America. Uberti has made 10 replicas of it -- on their stretched centerfire frame, of course.

Still has all the scratches from peasants clawing at it to keep from being beaten.

Hey KWK,

Yup.  I fell in LUST with the silver replica Uberti made of the South American presentation gun.  Those guns are even proofed to be fired. I'd just love to pull one out of my cart.  28 Grand last I knew.  "Silver Seven" is the one brought into this country.  When last seen, it disappeared into the bowels of Stoeger.  Hasn't been seen since.
