FA 83 in 45 Colt!?
« on: November 29, 2005, 12:38:05 PM »
How common is FA 83 in 45 Colt? Few times I had seen this model advertised. Does it have same rifling twist (1 in 24”) as 454? Thanks.

it's the very same gun since you can get an extra 45 cylinder on a 454 but I'm not sure it's offered in 45 colt only. the 97 does of course.

Just spoken to FA folks; small number was made at the beginning of production of Model 83, barrel twist was 1 in 24” as on 454. Regards. :D
