Armi Sport Kentuckian

[Icemanxxxv]

Her are a couple of photos of the Armi Sport Kentuckian I got from a friends father in law that passed away. She is a 45 cal beauty made in 1977 according to the AC date code. She has narey a mar on her anywhere. Truly a gem for her age. Bore is bright and shiny with crisp rifling. Not bad for 300 buck with a range box and a pistol to boot!

Here is the pistol and range box. The pistol has issues but I'm working through it.

You did good on that deal.

given the current price of things , you should feel bad and at least take the next opportunity to help them out or drop them off something useful like a couple cases of their brand of beer

I built a simple flintlock around a used .45 Kentuckian Barrel. The thing is a tack driver!

iceman i picked up one of these in a flintlock about a year ago. it is very accurate and for having about the cheapest lock i have ever seen the locktime is the fastest of all my flintlocks, custom and commercial.

Nice acquisition there!
I have one that I got in parts and now have it mostly finished up. The balance on that thing is truly something to behold. I thought I like short, thick barrels, but the Kentuckian has made me rethink my whole MO here.
Thanks for sharing.

Excellent acquisition. Those guns form back then are the best.
