Firearms for 44-40 recommendations.

[Nick Leduc]

I don't really have a "must have" firearm right now. BUT I'm sitting on an absurd amount of bullets and new 44-40 brass, and had a set of dies fall in my lap.
What do you reccomend. Keep it under $1,200. Go.

You might be able to get clones of both a Colt SAA and Winchester 1873 for $1200. I would probably buy a new Winchester 1873 if this was my money, like this one:

Model 1873 Sporter Octagon Pistol Grip

Cimmaron or Taylor (Uberti) Repro 1873. Much nicer that the Winchester brand in my opinion.

you, sir...have a sickness.

i'm suffering from a similar ailment, but with a much more common caliber thankfully (44 magnum). somehow i ended up with 500 cast bullets, 150 cases, and 2 FULL sets of Dillon dies (one for standard and one for square deal B) for a caliber I have never even owned.

now I basically NEED a 44 magnum.

at least when I buy one, i'll be able to hunt with it in Indiana though!

good luck, and I hope you find what you're looking for!

I have a Rossi in 44/40 I might be persuaded to part with.

Marlin 1894CB or a 92' carbine...maybe Rossi if you plan on shooting high velocity loads. If you plan on shooting just normal loads, a Winchester 73' carbine would be fun!!

I have the Marlin 1894CB and an Uberti Winchester 73'
