That I'm just about OBLIGATED to buy another FA gun? It only seems Christian and proper to me that I do so :grin:

That logic works for me.

I'm look'n at a modle 97 in 45 Colt with fixed sights and a 5 1/2 or 6 inch barrel. It'll be another "I'm gitt'n it 'cuz I want it" gun and have no other use other than to take to the range and punch holes in paper. A noble exercise, I'm sure you all will agree.

Some paper just needs killin' and that seems like a good gun to do it with.

I don't know you but I give you a lot of credit for being the moderator for the new Freedom Arms Forum. I don't know a lot about Freedom Arms, but I purchased a Field Grade 475 Linebaugh and mounted a 2 1/2x8 Leupold on it. It shot 2 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards with factory Hornady 425 grain loads. I loved the handgun. Actually it was the last handgun I was ever going to purchase. However I had a shoulder injury and could not shoot the Linebaugh any more. I sold the Linebaugh and just purchased a new Model 83 in a 44 magnum with a factory trigger job ( 3 1/2 lbs. and a factory swivel setup. I also ordered a Lovell mount for my Leupold 2 1/8 x 8 scope. As I mentioned before, I will post the results of the groups at 100 yards when I get to the range. I will be shooting factory Winchester ammo. Good luck at you new job. Rod in Pa.

:cb2: Now that he's the new, first, and only FA moderator, do we have to bow before we read his posts now? :eek:

Dusty Miller · « **Reply #8 on:** May 31, 2005, 09:07:39 PM »

NO! NO! NO! Of course not, but a little genuflex would be nice!!

Old Griz · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2005, 11:46:56 AM »

:cb2: If I did that, I'd need help getting back up again. I'll have to stick to bowing! :bye:

I do believe a new FA is in order! And buy the octagon barrel! Let us know what you get :grin:

Take Care,
Scott

Dusty Miller · « **Reply #11 on:** June 01, 2005, 08:53:47 PM »

Ah, yes the octogon barrel. I'd sure like to have one, but I can't seem to find a mention of it on the FA website.

TScottO · « **Reply #12 on:** June 02, 2005, 04:03:40 PM »

www.freedomarms.com guns scroll to the bottom information/price sheet on new guns scroll down and look at the heading under the pictures of the cylinders.

$468.00 on a new mod 83 or 97, I was under the impression they had increased the price on oct barrels so Id call them to see.

Dusty Miller · « **Reply #13 on:** June 02, 2005, 09:30:56 PM »

Well, I couldn't find it but that $468 sure does make them round barrels look pretty!!

Old Griz · « **Reply #14 on:** June 03, 2005, 08:17:01 AM »

:cb2: Amen to that! I was looking at one today (just looking) and it had two cylinders. One for the 454, and another for 45 Colt. Now do you really need two cylinders, or are they just trying to get another $272 out of you?

Dusty Miller · « **Reply #15 on:** June 03, 2005, 08:36:33 AM »

Hey look Griz, if the truth be known we probably don't "need" these toys at all! (But don't tell that to the Mrs.!)

Old Griz · « **Reply #16 on:** June 03, 2005, 11:19:32 AM »

:cb2: I don't know Dusty. My Mrs. keeps telling me I need all this useless stuff, like a new suit, slacks, shoes rather than cowboy boots, etc. Now why should I waste my money on that stuff, when there are still guns out there that I don't have yet??!!! And then, ya gotta have ammo! Gee, life's too short as it is.

Dusty Miller · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2005, 09:12:32 PM »

Yeah, do you want to look well dressed and pack a Taurus or do you want to look "normal" and pack an FA. ITS A NO BRAINER!!

Castaway · « **Reply #18 on:** June 04, 2005, 12:43:57 AM »

Think you ought to contact Freedom Arms and see if they'll give you one. As a moderator on the premier and most esteemed gun/hunting forum in the world, how could they resist? While you're at it, see if they'll send you two so I could have one also.

Dusty Miller · « **Reply #19 on:** June 04, 2005, 08:27:09 AM »

Why in the name of heaven didn't I think of that?!!

IF you want to shoot .45s out of it, yes, you need both cylinders. You don't want to shoot .45 in a 454 cylinder. Personally I don't see the need to shoot .45s and just download the 454s a bit. It keeps things simple and cheaper.
