The Ruger Old Army is the finest cap-and-ball revolver ever made. Manufactured from 1972 to 2008. Extremely accurate and a blast to shoot. This blackpowder revolver uses a .457 round lead ball. I have multiple Old Armies and have never shot this one. I would be surprised if it has been shot, as the condition is perfect. This one was manufactured in 1981. There is absolutely no pitting, scratches, or buggered screws. No box.
