When it strays from standard this far, its one persons vision. I would not buy it, the gun having been ported and that stupid lanyard ring installed. But that's just me.

There are now several more Field Grade 83s in .454 on GB for cheap money. One had a Penny opening bid and is up to $800...
Just too many .454s on the market I guess....

It's cheap because it's "casual". If it had been more serious, it might've gotten more bids.  If the timing was better, that would've been a great first FA. I'd send it to Jack to cut it back behind the ports, install a new express front sight, tune it and install new ivory micarta grips. Maybe replace that sling swivel stud with a proper Bowen lanyard ring. |

Curious.... why the aversion to Mag-Na-Port? I have it on my 4" 454 Redhawk and it really helped with muzzle flip and the torque/twist of the gun. I also had my Kimber 325 wsm magnaported and man, it made a huge difference.
If I were looking for one I'd have bid on that one.

Noise...if you ever touched that off without hearing protection you wouldn't need any in the future! |

Not just the noise issue either, though I especially hate sitting next to a ported rifle at the range, it just sucks for everyone else around the shooter. I just figure if a guns needs to be ported to be controllable for whatever reason, its too much gun for me. I categorically dismiss any gun I see for sale that has been ported.
