This gun is one of Texas Longhorn Arms Improved #5 guns in 44 mag. I used to own this gun and recently took it back in trade but is needs a new home once again. When I originally owned the gun I sent it to Alan Harton of Single Action Services and he not only went through the gun and check the hardness of the internal components but I also had him fit a set of pre ban ivory grips to the gun. The gun also comes with the original factory wood grips along with the ivories.
Texas Longhorn Arms was started by Bill Grover in Texas and Bill set out to build his improved version of Elmer Keith's iconic #5 revolver. Bill felt that not only was the use of the more modern steel an improvement but he felt that if the 44 mag had been available when Elmer had his #5 built, he would have had it chambered in 44 mag rather than the 44 Special. Bill also made his revolvers with the loading gate on the left side rather than one the right. He did incorporate the distinctive #5 base pin latch from the original design and by working with tracing of the original guns grip frame,he was able to duplicate the #5 rip frame in size and shape.
TLA guns are extremely well built and exhibit very tight tolerances and this gun is no exception. While the 44 mag was Bills classic caliber for his version, I have one in 41 mag as well as 45 Colt so this one can find a new home. The shipped price via USPS priority mail from my FFL to the buyers FFL is $4250 and I have no problem with splitting this up into 3 payments. I would also consider taking a Smith & Wesson model 24-3 Lew Horton edition 44 Special with the round butt and the 3" barrel and/or Ruger type one flat top 357 with the original black grips or even factory ivories, at an obvious much higher trade value, against the price of the gun. I would also look at custom revolvers from one of the well known gunsmiths as possible trade material as well. In all honesty I must say that my custom revolver corral pretty much has what I like already in it so the customer revolver option is somewhat limited.
Feel free to PM me with questions or ideas but the first hard "I will take it" trumps any ongoig discussions that might be gong on concerning terms or trades.
Thank you for considering this gun,
Robb
