that ticks all the boxes a 44 Mag with a 1:20 barrel !!!!! !! !!

That's about all I'd need, unless I'd need a 454 Casull 1894.
A great rifle

The reproduction of this very interesting British .442 revolver from the 1850s by Arsa in Spain is slowly proceeding. Initial pricing of 1,000 € puts it out of my league, but I sure would love to see and handle one. More in this thread over at Britishmilitaria ... https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/br...

Well, I've been thinking about a 357 carbine for a while, and would prefer a 16" barrel for sure. I was looking at the 16" henry's but they seem to be non-existant. They pop up on gunbroker sometime, but they go for $1200 - $1500. The new marlins are at least $1200 and don't come with a 1...

Every time this comes up I read up on Rossi and the 454 Casull, I think that it sounds like a great carbine hunting round. Finally I have to stretch, walk over to the stainless guide gun, says 45 on it, and I re-realize that I am all set in that category, again :!: :lol: I save lots of money failing...

I know its probably not in the category of rounds easy or sensible to fit in a lever action, but I bet someone out there has done or can do it.

I have been seeing 1892 Browning pattern guns with aluminum receivers out of Turkey on YouTube. Given how the 92 locks via two steel lugs on either side the bolt rear and against the rear of the receiver, do you guys think the aluminum will hold up or give headspace issues eventually?

The .45 colt was designed to shoot horses. War isn't pretty. The best way to unseat a cavalry troop is to shoot his horse. It's a very big target.
