The BFR is the most powerful production single action gun made and with 12 calibers and two frame sizes to choose from you can take everything from grouse to grizzly.” This revolver shows some scattered light wear and has a great bore and mechanics. These are well made and tremendous fun to shoot, drop a bid today! Please see our photos and good luck!
