BACK UP. Gunbroker buyer backed out because, well, he's an idiot. In any event, This is one of those Wesson Style rifles with the aluminum alloy receiver. The receiver is cast around the STEEL breechplug. The .45 caliber 26.5" barrel retains probably 80% blue with a few minor blemishes. The frame has some finish loss around the nipple. Stocks have some minor marks, but nothing serious. Brass fittings. Bore is VG. This model requires setting rear trigger to cock. Gun must have shot high, as previous owner braised a piece of brass to front sight to make it taller. Interesting rifle you don't see every day. Asking $450 Shipped. Photos coming.

The interlocking PR logo stands for Italian arms maker PIERINO RUSCHETTA in Brescia. Has an AB date stamp (1976).
 
I had one of these as a teenager, 50 years ago. Forgot about the trigger till just now. Once the barrel was lapped, it shot pretty good. Won my very first prize with it, at a local match, actually 2nd at 100 yds x-sticks. My prize was a case of beer. Ah, those were the days. How things have changed.
