FIE .44 navy

[DragoonRick]

I found listed on GB a FIE steel frame .44 navy.  Price listed as $250. It’s in my town  short drive away. So no mailing fee but may pay tax.  How does that sound.?

[Hawg]

Sounds good but depending on who made it parts may be unobtanium.

[G Dog]

Caveat Emptor applies here.  GB will try to sell you anything.  Anything.

[DragoonRick]

I’ve been in the shop that has it listed. I will at least go over and take a look

Excellent idea DragoonRick. Put your hands on it. Good luck.

[Zulch]

Rick, was that buy it now? I don't see one that cheap? Don't worry. I don't want it. 

[Zulch]

Rick, Is this it? $249.99? Dallas TX? It says it's a brass frame.

[DragoonRick]

The photo appears to be steel?  When I get my hands on it I’ll know.

yes it does but you did read the gun shop description picture right? I hope he is wrong in his description and you get a good deal my friend. Get there early  yeehaw!!

[Zulch]

Oh Rick!! I just saw the picture of the box and it says steel. His description ad may just be generic??.  I hope it works out for ya!! 

[DragoonRick]

I will report in a few days.

PR is one of those small manufacturers that went out of business in the 70's or early 80's.

I believe his reference to a brass frame is the grip frame. I've seen a lot of people refer to it that way.

Be careful with these guns from long out of business companies like PR and FIE. If something breaks, you may never be able to get a replacement part.

True, FIE was an importer of cheap guns. Parts will be unobtanium. I have a PR .36 Remington and the internal parts are nothing like Pietta.

Yessir. I had an FIE imported 51 Navy. It was junk.
