At the gun show this weekend I found an oddity for sale on a table. 10" octagon barrel for contender, marked 45 colt but on inspection I found it did not have a chamber cut. Rifling went all the way to the breach face and the ejector protruded into the chamber. Blue on the bore all the way to the breach. Factory new in the box because it can't be fired.
Factory mistake? Customizers dream? what value do you assign something like this?
