Is there any current production octagon barrel revolvers being made?

I was reading Dean's post and noticed that it had a missing photo, due to photobucket.

I restored the exact missing photo that Dean had posted originally on 12-13-2015.

Then, I added two more photos of Dean's gun showing the octagon barrel.

This particular gun was a gift from me to Dean in 2005.

Since Dean loved the Freedom Arms guns [he already had two], I told him to order a brand new Freedom Arms gun from FA and get anything he wanted on it and one of the things was the octagon barrel, which we both loved.

I plan to restore any missing photos on Dean's posts, as I read them.

Sadly, Dean passed away at 68 on Dec. 7, 2020 from Lymphoma cancer.

He'll be deeply and greatly missed, especially by me.

Marilyn, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dean was sort of my rimfire "hero." Virtually every time Dean posted a picture, I thought, "Ooh! SOMEday, I'm going to get one of those!" Then he'd post another picture, and I'd repeat myself. Then he'd post another picture, and I'd... Well, you get the idea. :p

Dean must've had an example of just about every high-quality, long-barreled, rimfire handgun out there! With that beautiful Freedom Arms, "ya done good!"

I think he was very proud of it... I've seen that picture many times... :bthumb:

Be well, -Howie

Uncle Howie,

Thank you. Very Appreciated.

Yes, Dean had a lot of wonderful and high quality guns.

I wish he was still alive and healthy to enjoy them.

Sorry I didn't see your post till now.

I was without the internet for over 8 weeks.

CraigC,

Thank you. Very appreciated.

On Nov. 8, Dean requested me to post on RFC to let people know about his declining health.

I quickly realized why Dean was always on RFC reading and posting, since Oct. 2004.

Wonderful website!

Marilyn
