Will consider all reasonable offers.

Here is an early-series (SN 50-0055xx, Riverhead, NY stamp) U.S. Arms Corp Abilene single-action revolver chambered in .44 Magnum, featuring the rare 8.5-inch barrel. Very rarely fired (if at all - not sure), very good condition. Earlier Riverhead, NY-stamped, pre-Mossberg model, and for you collectors, also includes the factory box.

The US Arms Abilene in .44 Magnum is a single-action revolver known for its quality construction, smooth bluing, and robust performance, with the 8.5-inch barrel length being a rare and desirable configuration.

The US Arms Abilene revolver was manufactured by US Arms, a company affiliated with AIG, and later by Mossberg. They were considered top-of-the-line at the time of their production and were popular with silhouette shooters due to their durability and accuracy.

  • Build Quality: Reviewers praise the high quality and finish, often describing the bluing as smooth and perfect, with tight tolerances.
  • Recoil Management: Due to its single-action design and grip shape, it is noted by users to handle the significant recoil of the .44 Magnum cartridge much better than some double-action counterparts, like the S&W 629.
  • Trigger: The action is described as having a crisp, glass-like trigger break.
  • Rarity: The 8.5-inch barrel version is particularly rare and sought after by collectors and shooters.

As the US Arms company went out of business years ago, these revolvers are no longer in production and must be found on the used market, primarily through online auctions and specialty gun shops.
