Description:
From a New England collection comes this most popular of all RG revolvers, the RG23. Manufacturer was Rohm GmbH of Sontheim, West Germany. This revolver is not import stamped, but most RGs came in through Eig Cutlery in Miami, ancestor to the live and thriving EAA Corporation. 68 date code indicates a 1968 manufacture date, and its 72000 range serial number is in the correct range for its siblings that we received new from Eig Cutlery in late 1968 and early 1969. Importation ceased on these as assembled guns, on December 1, 1968. Type is swingout, single and double action revolver, with manual ejection without removing the cylinder. Construction is steel one piece barrel, cylinder, hammer, trigger, and internal parts fitted into a zinc alloy / zamak pot metal frame with pot metal collar type upper, and with brown plastic grip panels. Chambering is .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle; and cylinder capacity is 6 rounds. Barrel is 3 3/8 inch one piece, pinned into place, with steel inner barrel that has 8 groove right hand 1:16 rifling. Sights are barrel collar blade front, with frame integral fixed notch rear. Trigger is .220 smooth face, with .195 width serrated spur hammer. Ignition is hammer nose firing pin. Mechanism has a transfer bar safety system. Frame is round butt type, small frame. Weight empty is 17 ounces, with center of gravity at the rear cylinder face. Surface detractions on this RG are moderate to extensive, with finish loss on the frame and barrel. We rate it as Fair, perhaps Good, 60 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Double action trigger pull is tight but smooth 12 pound vicinity. On both single and double action, the cylinder times correctly on all six positions. Cylinder has no lateral play with the trigger fully depressed. From the minimal carbon deposits on the cylinder face, we estimate this .22 has been fired fewer than 200 times. We’re offering the 1968 RG23 in the photos for only $119.00. Not transferable to civilian residents of California or C&R Holders in Massachusetts until January 1, 2018. Never transferable to civilian residents of Illinois, District of Colombia, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, or any jurisdiction with a Melt Law.

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.
