Yes, it was a Shiloh/FA deal.
When you call Shiloh, ask for Kirk or Lucinda.
PLZ keep us posted.
The rifle is also in .454 Casull.
These sets were made in 1991.
IIRC, there was 25 of these sets.

Thats incredible work Harold! Thanks for load range to start working on too, from my end someday. Have been thinking hard about a new 41 in m83, this enabling is certainly sealing the deal for me
Did not know the 'fluted' cylinder was an option and think its perfect in that profile, and just goes so well with the 'great' 41 especially. Fabulous caliber....

Bob,
Thank you very much, I consider myself very lucky finding one of these sets.
The barrel length is 24 inches.
I have attached a picture of the receipt that this set sold for in 1993 in Auburn Wyoming. Just down the road from Freedom Arms.

That is an amazing set, did not know they existed. Incredible.
Bob:
I don't know much about that particular leather holster, just that it works well, especially if I 'sometimes' don't want to wear on hip for various reasons. Had to fabricate a shorter snap/strap to better secure 4.75 inch FA in this one. My guns have primarily been used for hunting or ranch work, being my usual approach.
For hip, I have a great FA leather holster (to use with or without scope - split at top for scope mount) plus another 'old west' hip style holster made especially for short barrel FA, that I found in a remote leather goods shop while on contract in Montana during early 2000's.
If looking closely at picture, there is an emblem stamped on shoulder holster. Have never looked it up or researched it.
My brother found it for me decades ago somewhere in Texas, while working as a Texas Peace Officer. He knew I had been looking for that type of verticle shoulder style 'but in leather' to replace same style 'in nylon' made by Uncle Mikes, I had worn throughout 80s. Both are comfortable but leather is more so.

These are fairly rare also. Only around thirty five of these where made from 1986-1992.

Had a chance to look into shoulder holster asked about. Think the company is different now, but emblem looks like something from a desert eagle. Perhaps the old magnum research.
That is a super sweet presentation. A neat historical set as well. Thanks for sharing these posts.

I am thinking about sending it back to FA to have the barrel cut to 4.75" as I already have a 6"...

Looks awesome Bob. Thanks for posting, its good to see an actual image of this configuration as have been looking to order exact profile in m83. I like it! Do not have 6 inch yet.
Have 7.5, 4.75 and 3inch. If primarily bench shooting, would strongly consider a 10 inch as well but still want to be able to hunt shooting off-hand (if needed) though shooting rest is much preferred.
Really like the inverted crown alot(one of mine has that dished out muzzle and looks good), also would like to have 1 octagon bbl someday (it may balance well in hand) but have always liked round ones a great deal.
