I've taken good care of this revolver. I upgraded the nipples to slixshot nipples, fluted cylinder, painted the front sight green. The barrel is 8 inches long with no loading lever. It does have some scratches near the wedge from hammering the wedge out to maintenance the gun. The grip I attempted to make into a birdshead. The gun will come with target 44 cal bullets. It will not be loaded during the meet up. Text me only at 361-442-9423
