On my end I received a 1988 vintage FA model 83 field grade4 3/4 454 with fixed sights but this one came with wood grips. The gun has not been shot much at all but I can see where the recoil can give some people pause. I'm used to the big bores so it's a fun gun for me. I was looking for another belt gun in 454. My wrists are finally giving it up so I leave the bigger boomers parked more.

I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them. John Wayne-The Shootist
