Description:
Here's another listing where we have to give hot competition to our good old friendly competitor Angelo Guarino. He now rides in a Cadillac and sells good guns, but he used to have a Chevrolet. I still do. Angelo, though, is the best coonass in all of Louisiana.
Part of our current proprietor’s initiation into the firearms industry consisted in rides to Miami with our proprietor emeritus in a long wheel base 1957 Chevrolet with a home-made plywood camper. The return trip to Northeast Mississippi and Southwest Tennessee would see the truck bed and camper filled almost to the top with cases of RG 10 revolvers from Eig Cutlery in Miami, parent company to F.I.E., later European American Armory, as well as Heritage Arms, Excam, and R.G. Industries. Our proprietor emeritus was, at one time, the exclusive factory-equipped armorer for the RG 10 .22 Short Revolver. This specimen was manufactured, of course, by Rohm Gesontheim in West Germany around 1960, but is marked only Made In Germany on the right side of the barrel. It is the target variant of the pre-RG 10, and sports a 2 3/8 inch barrel. Note that the removable ejector pin is not original to the revolver but is factory RG, likely from the later RG 14. We rate this one as Very Good, perhaps even Excellent. Bore and cylinder chambers are excellent; and the mechanism is as good as any of the RG 10s ever were. Sadly, this Eig .22 Short does not have its original black and brown two-piece box; it does, happily, have its original cleaning brush, and it comes in a vintage flannel bag from its estate in adjacent McNairy County. Serial number is low, five-digit 55,000 range. We estimate this revolver was manufactured some time between 1958 and 1963. It sold new for about $12.00. Own it for a modest inflation-adjusted price of only $ 139.95.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
GA Pay buyers are NOT charged until we confirm we have the item and are ready to ship it. The same thing is true for phone-in, fax-in, and mail-in payments. In this respect, and in several others, Guns America outshines all its competitors. This is the best firearms website there is, hands down.
