« on: August 20, 2014, 05:58:22 AM »
I have an Dixie Gun Works barrel, ,45 cal, 42 inches long marked "Dixie Gun works, then a 3 digit serial number, made in Italy".  Anyone have idea on quality and age?  Thanks..Carl

Why not phone Dixie at 800-238-6785 and inquire on its age.

 All Italian barrels are proof tested.

 Look for the proof marks.
