Several .44 spl Bond barrels on Gunbroker in the $130 range.
I've got barrels for mine in .22, .357, .44 spl, .44-40, .45 acp, and .45 Colt.
Yeah, but then with Gunbroker’s fees, sales tax and shipping they might be cheaper from the retailer suggested above. I looked on EBay and was blown away by how high the prices are now! Last time I looked they were only about $110 - $150! Now they are starting at $150!

And you can always find bond barrels on EBay

Victor McLaglen himself appeared in a Season 1 episode, The O’Hare Story. He started out being Paladin’s presumed adversary and ended up being his ally and friend.
Yes he did an engineer. I believe his sin directed it as well.

I love that Gene Roddenberry wrote a lot of the earlier episodes and Victor McLaglen’s son Andrew directed them! We see the between 8-9am on H&I (ch 210 on Xfinity).

Yes, I used to read everything he posted about cap & ball, loved watching him search for items for his collection! Sorry to hear he’s gone!

You're right your choice. I like supporting the local gun shops around here so they stay in business although some of them do sell on gunbroker as well.
And I would too, but down here in SE FL, the shops charge more and uneducated buyers pay those prices and the shop owners don’t negotiate. If I found one that did I would give them my business. The other factor is that I have various interests, US military, some antiques, and of course “cowboy” besides self defense and hunting. Our stores are mainly Glock/AR-15 suppliers, not into Glocks and have a Colt AR15 for my wife and me, and an Armalite AR10.

I buy from local dealers only and of course private people.
And that’s your choice, good for you! I have found that buying on the internet from dealers and sites like Gunbroker give me a lower price than the local dealers, as I go to get the transfers and check out their pricing. To each his own!

I do! I have bought more than a few firearms and other items. It would be a shame to lose them!

Don’t have my readers, might have missed it but I don’t see a caliber mentioned. And do you have two pairs for sale or did the post duplicate?

If you were shooting in an enclosed, indoor range with no ventilation PERHAPS, but outside, toxic lead exposure? Really? Naw I don’t believe it, and the research is probably done by the same scientists that believe cattle farting causes climate change.
yes too much of anything can be harmful, but shooting 100-150 rounds through pistols/rifle over the span of a few hours, outdoors? C’mon! Nope don’t think so, not by my son’s experience either. If it was sooo bad all of us were be suffering from it as well.-

I got one of those “Classmates” email yesterday and lo and behold there was a yearbook for Notre Dame High School from 1973, my senior year! And all of you are asking what this has to do with SASS? Well, my Senior year during the Christmas break, mini courses were offered on a lot of fun subjects, including one about firearms with Mr. Greg Duda, our Electronic/Physics teacher. He was the proud owner of a Ruger Blackhawk in .357, with the greatest western rig I had seen! So although this may be moved to the saloon, I am wondering if Greg is/was a member of SASS? My school was in Niles IL, run by the same Holy Cross priests that also run the University in South Bend. So if anyone knows Greg Duda, let me know? I am 69, figure he would now be mid to late 70’s. Thanks again.

Pictures are working

Just a suggestion, you might want to add a price and if shipping is included or separate. I looked a couple of times and didn’t see it but am without my readers.

It might hold 10 in the tube, if he uses .44 S&W ammo, like I do. I'd also shave some material off of the follower, if possible.
He hasn't called me back yet.
Agreed as I also shoot .44spcl, but you never know the over all length (OAL) needed until you try. But it could also be a chance that if you shorten the mag tube spring they would fit. However I was talking more about the.45 Colt models as they are next to .357 in popularity. Still loading on the clock isn’t bad if you really like the rifle!

To me, it looks like a cross between a Marlin and a Henry Big Boy.
I am surprised they don't offer a version with "conventional" sights.And 10 round magazines! Most of these new lever guns are coming in 9 round tube magazines. Perhaps a shorter magazine spring would get them the 10th round in the mag, but, again if the shooter really wants to shoot it and is ok loading one from the belt to get to 10, I say go for it!

I was hoping he had one from The Comancheros movie. I want to get a Rossi, octagon 24” barreled .44 mag 92 and plate the receiver, remove the forearm and plate the curved butt stock, thinking it should come pretty close. Always live John Wayne holding it up and then giving it to Jack Elam!

Another weird firearm in El Dorado was J.P. Harrah's rifle that never ejected a round (spent or loaded) every time he levered it during his altercation with Elmer the bartender, the wounded gunman behind the piano, Laughing Boy and Bart Jason.
I think he borrowed it from Chuck Connors, Johnny Crawford brought it with him!

I thought it was what I was saying but I need to look at the show again. My memory must be playing tricks on me. I could swear that he had an 1873 rifle long barrel like I said that 40 but 30 inches and he had a nice brass scope on the top of it and he was the sharpshooter the group I could be wrong anyway thanks gentlemen.

And the 1873 was a 40” barrel with a scope on it, yes o remember that too. I found them on YouTube, will have something to watch this weekend.
My bad, no I believe it was a 30” barrel as I remember the “tube” scope was very long as well, thanks for catching my typo.

Sorry, it was a '92. Vin Tanner (Eric Close) carries a Winchester Model 1892 "Mares Leg" Rifle as his weapon of choice in the series. (The Mare's Leg also was the weapon of choice for Steve McQueen in his TV Show Wanted: Dead or Alive, interesting since Eric Close plays the character Steve McQueen played in the original film.) Tanner's weapon has a large lever loop instead of the "D" lever.
I always wondered if Zoe's Mares Leg in Firefly was the same one.
I am sorry too, but I beg to differ, he may have also used as shown in the picture but at the beginning of the series he had an 1873, I remember seeing and wondering why they used an 1873 instead of the 1892. I will see if the series is on YouTube or some other channel. I am thinking it was the pilot that he used it when the fighting for the mixed race village among the cable channels.
