V-E-R-Y- NICE! I love those Freedom Arms guns. My wife wants a 97 in .357 Magnum some day.

Wayne, very nice FA. I have two in my member's collection also. They are really well built firearms no doubt. You can own almost a dozen assorted Dan's for the price of three FA's that is the downside and why I don't have anymore than two. Now if I could just get a 41 Mag in one yet...

Beauty!!
I definitely would like to land a couple FA's. Just have to pause the
long enough to do it.

My latest FA purchase, a model 252. This one is a Varmint Class and has an extra cylinder in 22 Mag, express sights, trigger overtravel screw and green laminated grips. I have seen a few around like this but I don't know how many Freedom Arms made.
This brings me up to three FA revolvers [Image Can Not Be Found]
On my wish list are a FA in one of the 1/2" calibers. The .50AE versions have come down in price since the .50WE has become more popular, and the ammo is getting less scarce.

I have a soft spot for 22's and that one looks awesome! Nice find!

Very nice addition there. Those Varmint versions seemed to be pretty popular, since they came with 2 cylinders. I love my 252, but it is a Silhouette version. Accuracy is more than outstanding, and they are a joy to shoot.

I'm slacking in the FA department.
I sure would love to get my hands on a few before it's all said & done.
Great looking trio so far, thanks for showing them off!

Here's my Freedom Arms revolvers. My first one, a Pre-Production 252 Silhouette Class, ordered in 1991. It is the second best-shooting .22LR in my collection.
The next one my wife said I could get for my birthday in 2001. My favorite revolver cartridge, a .41 Magnum, in another Silhouette Class gun. This one is superbly accurate also.
Four years later, she asked if I wanted another Freedom Arms revolver and what would it be. I decided to get a Model 97 to see how they were, so we both got on the FA website and built this gun. A Premier 97 Silhouette in .22LR. The octagon barrel was an expensive option, but we decided since you only live once, to go for it. I'm glad we did.

IHMSA80x80, excellent!!
I was searching around for a 252 silhouette and managed to find one but couldn't bring myself to pay $1000 more than I bought the 252 Varmint for. Also I read that, because of the tight tolerances of the silhouette model, some ammo may require seating with a wood dowel 
I like that '97 octagon ........ sooo many choices

Great looking pictures! So many cool guns so little money! 
My problem is deciding on which one to go after next.

I know Jody, way too many cool guns out there and nowhere near the amount of money available. I used to decide what my next gun would be, but found out I passed up too many good deals on other guns, waiting for the gun I wanted next to show up. Now I just look for a good deal on "something" that is on my list. In a way, that's kinda neat, cause I never know what the next one will be.
Wayne, my 252 is like that with some ammo. It is very tight. I use Eley ammo in it and they have to be pushed in firmly with my thumb, though I never resorted to using a wood dowel or any other tool. You would not believe how well this gun shoots.

My latest purchase: Freedom Arms model 353 Casull, Field Grade .357 Magnum – 9" barrel. Has action job, jeweled hammer and trigger, trigger over travel screw, laminated wood grips, sling mounts and a Weaver 4x28 scope. Like new condition, picked it up for $1000. A weak economy has some advantages…

A .357 with a shoulder sling-too cool
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
