Freedom Arms Premier Grade 454 Casull Special Order. This revolver was ordered with a 12”, 4 port Magnaport barrel. The revolver is in the low 15000 serial number range. The instruction manual shows the purchase price as $1864.00. It is topped with a Stainless Burris 1 1/2X-4X Posi-lock scope with Burris bikini covers. This scope was mounted by Freedom Arms when the package was ordered. The scope is mounted in three rings. I also have the original box, instruction manual, reloading data provided by Freedom Arms, and the accuracy test target used at 25 yards. The revolver originally came with a second cylinder chambered in 45 long Colt but I do not have that cylinder. Don’t know why it was ordered this way because long colt shoots perfect in the Casull cylinder. I am the second owner and I have not fired the revolver. It is in excellent condition. I am asking $1400 shipped to your dealer.

Not in my opinion. I don't care for the scope personally and would add no value for it. Unless you just want a barrel that long then why not look into ordering a new one the way you want it equipped. If you just gotta buy a used one hold out for a price at least $250-300 less.

Not that the Premier life time warranty extends to other than the original owner but firing .45 Colts in the .454 Casull cylinder voids the warranty. Personally I'd pass on it. The missing cylinder plus the firing of .45 Colts in the .454 cylinder tells me the gun has not been properly cared for.
