Question:
Reviews I read are mixed, stating the barrel is dovetailed into the receiver but can be easily removed and one says the barrel is brazed in place.
Can you tell without actually taking it apart?
I found these on Dixie and 3 other places, prices vary greatly but all appear to be the same imported pistol without touch hole drilled.
Do you know if these are all the same pistol?

Grizz, I really don’t know if they are all the same. This is totally unmarked. I just took the lock off and it appears to me that the barrel is dovetailed in there. I didnt try to remove it though. Without looking inside I doubt you could tell how its mounted.
