Manufacturer: Freedom Arms Type: Revolver Model: 83 Field Grade Caliber: 454 Casull Barrel Length: 7.5 Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3263 S/N: DF 2080 Ref #: N/A Notes: This revolver is a Freedom Arms Model 83 Field Grade single-action revolver chambered in .454 Casull. The Model 83 was introduced in 1983 and is built on a precision-machined, five-shot cylinder platform designed specifically to withstand the high pressures of the .454 Casull cartridge. Freedom Arms was the first manufacturer to commercially produce revolvers chambered for this cartridge. Production year range: Freedom Arms does not publish a publicly accessible serial-number-to-year reference, and serial numbers are not encoded with definitive date information. While the Model 83 entered production in 1983, serial number DF2080 cannot be used to assign a specific year of manufacture without factory documentation. Manufacture can be stated only as post-1983 production within the Model 83 production period. The revolver is fitted with a 7.5-inch barrsel, resulting in an overall length of approximately 13 inches. Chambered in .454 Casull, typical factory loads with 300-grain bullets are capable of producing muzzle velocities in the range of approximately 1,600 to 1,650 feet per second, with energy levels approaching 1,800 foot-pounds, depending on ammunition selection. The revolver features a five-shot cylinder and operates in single-action only. Sighting equipment consists of adjustable rear target sights paired with a fixed front blade. No optics are present. The revolver is built with tight tolerances characteristic of Freedom Arms production and is designed for precision and durability. Condition is good. The finish shows light wear consistent with use. The bore appears clean with strong rifling, the cylinder locks up tightly, and rotation is smooth.
