Out of curiosity, is it the MP221 Artemida model? That's pretty neat looking. I have been thinking of a Trail Guns Armory SxS in .45-70 with the conversion to .450 3 1/4 after reading a good article on getting it done. They aren't easy to find and I'm not sure i could find this one either.

It may, or may not, be a less expensive route to go. Still like exposed hammers but slick would do if the price was right.

Any new gun is a good gun!

Forgot to add that on the BaikalCanada site the rifle is shown along with an ad for the laser Spine Institute. Ironical, ain't it?
