My R letters with Twist, not stub twist.



although I know of no research or experiment that say stub twist is more likely to fail

OH , your barrels look like mine . I wanted to get them refinished but figured it wasn't worth it on a 500$ gun and found a better grade with already nice barrels .
Wasn't stub twist made from weaker materials like horse shoes ? this is just what ive read

The seller says its 1 or 919 made and it has excellent bores . doesn't look like different to me though then the lower grades . I like the wood on the 0 grade better it has a reddish color . it will be probably 2 months but I notice alot of these guns have been up for sale for a long long time . I think though the 0 gradw would be a good gun the have the barrels refinished on since it already in decent shape . the L1 is in decent shape but it somewhat plain looking for the price imo
