Will be shooting the 265 grain Hornady that my Marlin .444 shoots. So far it cycles my dummy rounds like snot on glass.

Picked up a Ranch Hand in .44 Magnum last week.
I picked up a full size buttstock, inletted where it had to be inletted and refinished the original forestock and finished the buttstock to match....
Now i have a Rossi 1892 Trapper style with a barrel that is 12" overall length that i am pretty happy with.![]()
You guys can buy suppressor no questions asked where as we need the $200 6 month wait tax stamp !game keeper wrote:And I thought our laws were dumb.....
I was thinking about the Henry Mares Leg in .22, if it didn't work out, I would have put a youth stock on it, no problem here.

I'm sure you'll be happy - that is, until Federal Law Enforcement Officers arrest you, if some local LEO or game warden doesn't do it first.
The reason for the "uh-oh's" is that you are in direct violation of the US Gun Control Act of 1968, and will be subject to any/all of the penalties for doing so.
While you do not have a restricted SBR (short barreled rifle), you have installed a permanent/attached buttstock to a handgun - a big no-no.
From the horse's mouth (BATF): http://www.atf.gov/content/if-person-ha ... fa-firearm
I would strongly advise you take down any pics that you've posted here or elsewhere; restore the config to a handgun; then register/permit it ($200 fee, IIRC), before the rifle buttstock is re-attached, with BATF as an NFA weapon.
Once the BATF approval/permit is received, the buttstock can then be re-installed legally.

Keep in mind, though, that said registration will most likely make you a person of interest in the event of any Federal crackdowm/changes.

Everyone knows how dumb our gun laws are, I'm just surprised that you guys live with even dumber ones.6pt-sika wrote:You guys can buy suppressor no questions asked where as we need the $200 6 month wait tax stamp !game keeper wrote:And I thought our laws were dumb.....

In most states here we can buy a rifle , pistol or shotgun and get it the same day where as you guys need to jump through hoops and show and actual need/use which takes near as I can figure from some of the other Brits I've talked with anywhere from 3 months to a year .
Oh, we CAN do it allright, but we have to pay The Man $200 for permission to do it. . .Ysabel Kid wrote:Rarely do I get jealous of gun laws outside of the US, but here is one perfect case. That is beyond cool. You luck so-and-so!!!
