Yes, I shot it yesterday. Have to hold at the bottom of the standard NRA
pistol target to hit the black. Odered a "Shooters" sight this morning which is .540 tall from S&S. The front sight is a dovetail. |

Well I would like to know what it is. The barrel has 6 grooves and appears
to be a fast twist. Front sight is dove tailed. Chambers are .450 and the groove dia. of the barrel is .450. The frame is the small frame. The cylinder pin comes all the way out. About the only marking that was left was the date code. The first letter I can't tell. Just shows a slanted line, like it might be a "A" The second letter is quite clear and is a "C" . If this is right it would put it as a 1977. There is a long serial number on the butt grip on the frame. Also a three digit number on the bottom of the barrel. They don't match tho. The trigger is very wide. I would guess it as a Euroarms "Sport" model at this point. That's only a guess. Come on guys, help me out here. What is it? This is what I think it might be.

I think the dove tail front sight would mean that it has the Lothar Walther
barrel with the 17.7 " twist. Would you check your twist like if a groove started at say 12:00 at the back of the barrel, where does it end at the front. 9:00 or 6:00 ? |

Will do, but it will be a few days - the gun room is kind of in disarray while we remodel the basement. The drywall work is not on schedule and I don't want any guns out while that dust is floating around.

Ok, suspended the drywall sanding, dug out the Brownie Hawkeye and the Euroarms Remington-Beals and took some photos.
First, I was mistaken, the front sight is dovetailed. It's actually hard to see and was difficult to photograph: Second, the twist is near 1:32. The line that starts at 12:00 at the breach ends at about 8:30 in 8 inches. Finally, the trigger: I have no provenance for this gun; it was a gift from a widow for cataloging and evaluating her husband's collection. Here are the gun's markings: Last edited by mykeal; October 16, 2011 at 06:07 PM. |

The three digit number by the logo on the bottom barrel flat is not the same as the five digit serial number on the bottom of the grip frame. Interestingly, however it is the middle three of those digits rearranged. Maybe on purpose, maybe coincidence. Last edited by mykeal; October 16, 2011 at 06:22 PM. |

Put a tight fitting patch on a cleaning rod and let it turn with the rifling for 1/4 turn and multiply X 4.

I don't know and I don't know how to find out. Did you read the last line in
the picture of the new one from their web site? |

Thanks for the pictures. Looks like to me we have the same gun. Someone
just de-farbed mine. I would say we have the same barrel also. I really think mine is the 1-26 twist and not the Lothar Walther barrel. Mine was made in 1977 and I don't think they were putting that barrel on them then. I would really like to know just when they started doing that. But they are out of business and no way of knowing. I guess I could E-mail Pedersoli and ask them if they know. It shoots good. Shot it yesterday using a 454 ball and 18 grs Swiss. 25 yds all shot were in a 10 ring size group. Look out Friendship Going to put a taller front sight on later this week to get it shooting on. Thanks again for your help. Phil |

Wife shot it Sunday. One hand un-supported at 25 yds. Looks like it will
hold the 10 ring. Already put on a taller front sight. Will get it sighted to where it is dead on just a little later. Got a 3-day shoot this weekend. |
