Default Freedom Arms 357mag

After being jerked around by both US customs, and Canada Customs, my Freedom Arms 357 magnum finally arrived 14 months after being ordered. Clay from Prophet River did the import, and he tells me that this year the importation of restricted weapons was much slower than normal. The gun is a Freedom Arms 97, with a 5-1/2" barrel, custom trigger tune, and optional micarta grips. Now I need to wait until next weekend to fire it.

I shoot at Fort Mcmurray,it's isolated, but we do have a great range facility. A friend purchased an almost identical Freedon Arms, except his has the hi vis front sight, and wooden grips.
