My country is Bulgaria in Europe. There are enourmous taxes for import and export weapons in and out of USA.
I bough it from Germany. Its serial number is  B 12 493. I should write an email to NAA factory to ask them which year was it produced.  It was built before the company moved in Provo Utah.

How many positions of the cock do yours have -2 or 3? I mean those of you, whose cylinders have safety notches.

If they (NAA factory) change the cylinder with another one with notches on it, they should change the cock also. Because the hammer is short and its end upper front part which makes contact with the rim of the round is short, and does not have the enough lenght to touch the cylinder. In my case I think they should change either the cylinder and the hammer. If i send it to replace it with cylinder with notches.

Do you remember me? I posted a cut mini master few months ago.
Now I show you what I bought.
This is my gun.  22 lr. It is written "Newbury park Calif" .
How do you think. For safety measures how should I bring it. I doesn't have safety notches on cylinder.

It has three positions of the cock. Down, middle and fully cocked.

Do you think it is safe on middle position?
Or it would be best to bring it with 4 rounds , and the cock is on an empty chamber of the cylinder?

Here it is.
A cut Mini Master.

So my next question is what to do.
If I buy the gun is there a risk ?
Maybe the  gun will not shoot very acurate.
Maybe the barrel is wounded from the cut and its shooting resourse (number of bullets limitation) is lower from normally.

If the gun was mini master with 5-6 inch barrel shooting acurately at 30 yards, maybe now its not shooting acurately at 10 yards.
Maybe I must try how accurately it fires , and then buy it. 



I will post some new pictures after 3-4 days. Because it's not in my town.  And we will see the serial number. And I'll try to connect with the producer to ask what was the orriginal gun.

The price is 990.00 but the currency is not US Dollars.
My country is Bulgaria in Europe. So turning it in US Dollars  - this is exactly 565 USD.
With the import taxes included in this price , which is written on the label and this price is for the customer,  I think the  price is even low. The price in USA is 300 USD, but here we have import tax to pay.
For example a NAA PUG costs about 685 USD in Germany. In Gustav Jehn gun store. But unfortunately there is no  PUG in the gun store.

So most likely this is a cut MiniMaster.Sounds very logic.
And a little proof for being cut is a scratch on the metal. Which is on the right side of the gun . Just a little right and up direction from the front end of the cylinder pin. This scratch starts where ends the cylinder pin. And is going up and right.

Well I think the best I can do is go again in gunshop and  take another picture of product number on its down side. And send it to NAA Factory by email. Then ask them what was the model when they produced it - either a mini master or a black widow.

Next little feature I want to point is a little vertical slice on the right side of barrel. Just between the cylinder and the mentioned indentation. Does it exist on the original Mini Master. Because I don't notice such a vertical slice on a BW.

I am giving another picture. Of the upper side. If someone has a BW lets compare the front sight.
Because if it is a cut Mini Master it would definately be needed to adjust the front sight on a new place.Backwards from where originally has been.   Maybe take a look from above at the front side will help to see if the front sight was put in the factory or not.

What I am thinkig is-
These indentations are used to ventilate the barrel.

It is said so in the description of the item (Black widow).

So my concern is- if there is only one indentation for ventilation,
Maybe the barrel could not handle two more indentations to be made with the Lathe.  Or whatever machine they use to make the three indentations on it.
How can I understand what is the exact reason.
I must maybe check up the mollecular structure for being defected?

The cylinder pin is apparently pull down snd slide.
On the product is written -"north american arms Provo Utah 22 magnum".

But where is the place I should look for a State and city where the gun is made. On the gun , or on the box or papers?

I intend to buy it from my local gun dealer.  2 inch barrel. Conversion cylinders - cal.  22 mag and 22 lr.
But what is the reason for a slight differece on the  barrel.

Have in mind the only one (hollow) slice existing on the upper front part of the barrel just under the front sight .

What is this revolver ?
I think that The real Black widdow should  have three slices -  except this one we see on the front, two more -
on the middle and rear part of the barrel. This one has only one slice.
For example look at the picture of the three guns bellow the revolver.
  In the middle is the picture of BW. There we see three slices.
What is the reason this item has only one slice ?

I am looking at the firearms list on - naaminis.com .  But I don't find another revolver wih 2 inch barrel and only one slice (hollow) on the front side of the barrel.
May it be some technical issue or something I should worry ?
