Been wanting one of these for a bit. This one is a bit rough around the edges, but mechanically sound. Grips are comfortable, but HORRID looking.

Yes, In Little Rock AR. Guy makes all the shows, had one a bit nicer, with Colt wood grips, he was asking $1,200 for. Just couldn't bring myself to pay that much since it had a bit of blue wear at muzzle also. He sold it, came up with this one. Though a bit rougher, $750 is a bit more affordable. STILL TOO HIGH!!

Years ago one of my friends had one the more used they are the better. A 22lr python IMO.

Update with a bit of oiling, 4ought steel wool, and a set of Pachmayr "Hybrid" grips I picked up and refinished.



Maybe I'll eventually find a set of O. E. Colt's, but not at the $200 they seem to be selling for!
