I don’t see a 4” gun recoiling much differently than a regular 4 3/4” would.
Of course in a 475 they can get pretty brutal. There is something about the gun that doesn’t feel like FA did the barrel shortening and round butting. Who ever did it did a fine job
B but the lines seem slightly off to my eye.

My round butt 5" 475 FA can become hard to control with upper end loads.

That .44 has a pretty darn good test target.

Says he's the original owner...would be easy enough to check with FA to see how it left the factory.
The gun is pretty old as the label doesn't list .327 or .224-.32...

Saw that one when I was monitoring FA 475’s to get a feel for pricing, over the last few weeks only two 475’s have on GB. I’ll put mine on the first of the year, if no interest on here or HHI forum.

Trapr I paid $1400 for my FA premier grade 475 2 years ago. Found it at a LGS in the box. Not new, but don't believe it was shot more than 50 times. I believe that I got one heck of a deal at that price. Justin |

Yep two years ago prices were much lower and wait time for a new one was less as well.

Kudos... |

That’s the original length done at Freedom. Marked as such on box label as well. “Special” and 4.0 next to it. |
