Heritage Manufacturing Barkeep Single Action Revolver .22 Magnum with 2.5 Inch Barrel
Description
This Heritage Manufacturing Barkeep is a single-action revolver chambered for rimfire cartridges and is currently fitted with a .22 Magnum cylinder. The firearm is configured with a 2.5-inch blued steel barrel featuring a fixed blade front sight and a notched rear sight integral to the top strap. The frame is finished in a dark oxide or bluing and is fitted with attractive grey and white marbled pearlite synthetic bird head grips. Markings on the left side of the barrel specify HERITAGE BARKEEP .22 CAL above the safety warning KEEP EMPTY CHAMBER UNDER HAMMER. The right side of the frame is marked HERITAGE MFG. BAINBRIDGE, GA. with the warning READ MANUAL BEFORE USING appearing below the cylinder. The serial number 1BH332946 is stamped on the right side of the frame above a factory QR code, and the cylinder is explicitly marked .22 MAG. This model features a manual hammer block safety located on the left side of the recoil shield and a spur-style hammer with a knurled thumb piece. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The exterior metal surfaces show moderate to significant wear, particularly on the frame edges, cylinder, and top strap where the bluing has thinned or been lost to silver. Scattered surface scratches, minor handling dings, and small areas of surface oxidation are present on the frame and barrel. The pearlite grips are in good condition with minor surface scuffs but no visible cracks. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The single-action mechanism appears to function correctly with positive cylinder indexing and lockup, although the firearm has not been test-fired.
