I would say it depends on how tall you are and other physical factors; 5'8" probably yes, 6'4" probably no. If you have a gun that fits well now and you also shoot well, measure that gun.

Still no answers from the seller.

Oh no! It’s [[Reefer]] Damascus Madness!

If the seller won't answer your questions I'd move on. More than likely if the gun shows up & isn't as advertised, you'll probably have a hard time getting your money back. Besides, why bother with a gun that probably won't fit. Buy one that does fit.

Yeah , I'm over it. I doubt they would answer me if I didn't like it.

I want to see the picture that Harry mentions.

I have to have personally seen way more blown out fluid steel barrels than damascus. Bu a lot! Maybe we can try to propagate another lie to sell new guns, like how Fluid steel barrels over 50 years old have expired and are at risk of failure.

You stole my thunder Brian. I've seen K80's, Brownings, 870's and a M12 barrel ruptures all do to operator error. With all due respect my friend Harry keep up with the warnings about Damascus barrels. It will drive the price down to where you might just buy one for testing.:):)

Collectors Firearms has been around a long time, and is a first rate company. I suspect Mike is away at the annual 4 day Colt Collectors Association meeting.
Try the telephone. They still work.
