Freedom Arms Custom
I have and adore my model 83. I custom ordered it from Freedom Arms. It has a 10 inch barrel, hardened replaceable forcing cone bushing(an option no longer available), factory trigger job-3lbs, action job, adjustable sights, and of course it is a Premier grade-lifetime unlimited warranty. Mine is unported and has no muzzle brake either. I challenge any Smith owner to remove the brake on their . 460 or . 500 and try to keep up with me in velocity or accuracy. I have had maximum safe pressure loads developed by Buffalo Bore. They are disturbing. I have pushed 300 grain loads out the muzzle at over 2100fps, 260@over 2400, and 200 grainers I turned on my lathe with driving bands at a velocity unheard of. The cost of this is SEVERE recoil. Through lots of practice I feel any big-bore handgunner can accomplish what I have done. I have loaded up some of the original loads developed by Richard J Casull, including duplex and triplex loading: bullseye, H110, & Blue Dot. I strongly recommend these loads never be tried by anyone except an experienced reloader and ONLY in a Freedom Arms gun. I know other revolvers out there are made of the same material and heatreated similarly, but they have longer frames and are not as rigid.
I also have a custom serial number.
