The trigger guard is part of the frame and is cast. the hammer and trigger appear to be but saying so would only be speculation.  Regardless, if you decide you don't want it let me know, I'm looking for a Norwich .44.

I bought it but the guy had painted it camouflage for hunting tried to take it off with vinagar with little sucess.IT is only 2 digit ser number so I would like to see if I can save it.He has taken whole gun apart and broke rear sight,lost firing pin spring and who knows what else.A least it comes with 2 barrel assemblies and 2 grips,bd square scope mount and stainless rings I should have it in a week and will know more.walt

Walt--

If it is stainless gun, go buy a quart of paint thinner or lacquer thinner and just toss everything in a piece of Tupperware and let it soak...

Won't hurt the gun and the paint will just dissolve.  You'll end up with a sparkling clean 744.

SHOOT

(PS -- I may have firing pin spring)
