Oh, dear me. Claims the bore is 'bright' and then posts a picture that proves otherwise. It takes all kinds.

Wow! talk about a project gun. Considering what a new one cost I would say his opening bid is $50 to high.

Magnum, it's a special powder
I thought the price was more ridiculous than the magnum part.

Considering the price, the .44 mag. designation should probably stand for ".44 magnanimous", meaning the buyer must be very forgiving for its high price.

Quote:
mag·nan·i·mous (mg-nn-ms) KEY
ADJECTIVE:
Courageously noble in mind and heart.
Generous in forgiving; eschewing resentment or revenge; unselfish.
