Looked into this some years ago. Start with a 44 magnum and have new cylinders made in 44-40. Some say you can bore out 357 NMV cylinders to 44-40, but I don't think they would fit in the 44 magnum frame.
The New Vaqueros weren’t made in .44mag, .44 special yes, magnum no.

Great idea! Not sure how long it took you to make, but I am thinking you got something you could not only to lovely ladies, but to some of who are either suffering from arthritis or in my case, neuropathy from chemotherapy. Might want to consider it. Either way great craftsmanship and ingenuity.

I have a Rossi 92 in 44 Mag that was my first CAS rifle. I have the buttstock engraved so would not want to part with that but would be willing to sell the rest of the rfile.
Is the barrel octagon and 24”? If so then I would be interested in it.

I just got one on Gunbroker for $705, plus shipping and taxes and fees!

Well, you were just typing the same thing the OP wrote (he corrected it). I was mostly joshing, because it is such a common error. But gosh, I sure hope you are responding well to treatment! That sounds like no fun at all, but better than the alternative! Good luck and God Bless!
No worries. Didn’t take it wrong. Thanks for well wishes, on Keytruda now but 10 treatments of chemo last 2021 did it to me! But I am looking down instead of up and thanks to both Doctors and prayers from family and friends I am clean.

C'mon y'all, it's spelled CAVALRY. Says so, right on the box.
Sorry, pet peeve.
But really, what a nice set!
Was at work trying to get it written in a hurry and with the neuropathy from chemo affecting my fingers, I sometimes don’t get it right. My Bad! Thanks for the correction

I got a set piece by piece, at the time the prices were around 2,000.00, back in 2017. Should be above that easily for a Calvary set of 2nd gen guns with matching shoulder stock. I would agree that ColtForum would be a good source.

It is round barrel and looks like shorter than 24" but can't lay my hands on a tape measure right now.
Thanks looking for 24” octagonal barreled one to plate the receiver with brass to match the “Henry” rifle John Wayne was selling in The Commancheros movie. Thanks anyway!

Sorry paid and shipping in the AM.
If u are saying to me, no need, my fault in not doing it sooner! But I took a chance that Paco might have changed his mind. Don’t get kissed if you don’t ask.
-
If the deal with Paco falls thru I will buy the Winchester stock set. Let me know.
-
If the buyer doesn’t want the additional items I would be very interested depending on price of each, definitely the bayonet! PM me either list and prices. I have both a rifle and a Winchester 1895 in .30-40 Krag. Thanks.

Thunderstick Trading company in Tucson is your go to FFL. They are the presidents of Bordertown and have been involved SASS since forever.
Great little shop was there July 2019 and bought a Perdasoli Flintlock rifle from them. Very friendly.
-
Dell also sells an external DVD drive that would work on your laptop for around 40-50. O am sure there are other manufacturers drives as well. Just a suggestion. I like books as well.

Buy a piece of crap (non-CAS) Miroku '73 and steal the sear from it!
Still a bit to replace a small part but might be cheaper than having a custom piece machined.Wow, don’t hold back! Tell us what you really think! But I have to disagree with you on it being a piece of crap. I am happy with mine and the 1866, 1892s, 1886 and 1894s I have from Miroku. But you shoot what you want and I won’t stoop to your level of gun snobbery and insult your choice.

Im thinking most of the best folks to answer you are busy at EoT right now, but...
In Tucson - we (the Creeker crew) enjoy going to "Trail Dust Town"; a touristy "Old West" store grouping with souvenir stores, gold panning, shooting arcade, candy store, mini railroad, bars and restaurants.
We really enjoy dinner at Pinnacle Peak steakhouse and then attend the Wild West Stunt show by the Dragoon Players.
They also have a cool western history museum on site.
The Tuscon Air Museum is awfully cool.
Apparently Old Tucson Studios have reopened as well - haven't been there since the reopen - but always enjoyed it before.
You also have some fun things with the Rooster Cogburn Alpaca farm.
Visit "The Thing" roadside attraction and "What If" museum.
Additionally you are only a hop and skip from historical Tombstone, Bisbee (art enclave and cool downtown - love the Copper Queen mine tour) and Kartchner Caverns.
Im sure there are lots more suggestions from the Tucson locals forthcoming - but from our travels thru the area - we have enjoyed the above.

Anyone from there? Or familiar with the place? Recommended good places to eat?
Or "toy stores" where one might find good stuff we can't buy in (or bring home to) california? Just to look, of course!
If you are going with your wife then I would also recommend TUBAC! It is a small “town” of various craft shops and stores. Would visit with my wife every time we visited my folks in Green Valley. One time in the bookstore I met the Don of the author of The Shootist. Had a nice conversation ought his book and had him sign it. Another time bought some great jewelry for my wife, enjoy the mountains!

Jameson's, corned beef brisket, and The Quiet Man for dessert.
I would substitute Reuben sandwiches, but like the desert idea!

If it hadn’t had a polished look to it I would have said it was finish was worn and in “white” and it was just the receiver, the barrel and mag tube were not polished. I am thinking that one of the gun rental firms just had one plated.

What difference does it make if you’ve seen one John Wayne movie you’ve seen them all
Not sure what your point is? Are you criticizing John Wayne movies? If so that is ok, your right to have an opinion, but there are a few that are alike, his early “B” westerns, the Howard Hawkes trio, but most of the John Ford directed ones had different story lines and allowed John Wayne to be different.

In the movie The Angel and the Badman, his hat changes from light to black and back several times.
I always thought he had different outfits and 2 different hats?!?

Season 6, episode 4, a “silver” plated 1873 Winchester rifle! On a show where 1892’s abound I was surprised to see an 1873 that was plated. Didn’t see the whole episode just the end. I was very surprised.

44-40 New Vaquero
in SASS Wire
Posted
I saw on the Ruger website, if this is your pistol my apologies, but I have seen here that the old model had the large frame that would handle the pressure of the .44mag cartridge and the NMV frame was too small. My apologies, but this one was the only one I saw and not sure what is on the barrel. I will accept the wrist slapping!
