Yes, serial number 8,599 is in the records, and it shows as:

1881 .40-46 caliber 28 inch octagon barrel Shipped: mid-late 1884

That is all that is listed for that number.
Due to the increasing cost of ammunition, there will be no warning shot!

The growing federal deficit = generational slavery to the national debt.

.40-46 caliber? Is that a typo?
