Here is B00098 and it is shown with what Harry had envisioned the "B" series to be. Grossman made less that 10, and probably only 6, of the 10 1/2" Bull Silhouette barrels and Harry told him to stop as the cost was too high to sell. They also would be available with a standard 6 1/2" VR barrel and an 8 1/2" VR 357 barrel. I bought this set from a gunshop in El Monte and a gentleman came in with all these pieces for sale. That is all I know about it. It looks unfired. |

This is an example of how all the barrels are marked. The model, either 280 or 260, and the TDE and OMC> |

That's beautiful. Hey BEEMER did you see that Pasadena Auto Mag on Gunbroker with the serial numbers all over it? That isn't correct to the gun according to my list.

I guess I did not see it. Is it still on there?
I have several that are marked that way, used to bring a little more money.

I looked the Pasadena up and that is not factory I'm pretty sure. It looks like it was done with a laser engraver. Here is how the uppers were factory marked. |

Beemer, In your original post, could this be 1 of the 6, 10 1/2" Bull Silhouette barrels? |
|
If you were happy and you knew it, would you clap your hands?

John - Yes that is one of the 10 1/2" Silhouette barrels. It looks like it was kept underground for safe keeping. I wonder what kind of shape the bore is in. I do not remember who told me that there were only six made but Bert Mason quotes Grossman in his book that he remembers that there were less than 10 made.
