There was someone questioning whether it was a #3 Russian model. Here is an email conversation I had with Roy Jinks the Historian from S&W. Bob, the gun in the picture is a Model 3 Russian First Model manufactured in 1872. It appears as if the barrel has been shortened and the ivory grips added. It is not a Schofield. I hope that this helps. Roy G. Jinks, Historian, Smith & Wesson

There are no barrel markings here is what Wikipedia says about the #3. The Model 3 was originally chambered for the .44 S&W American and .44 Russian cartridges, and typically did not have the cartridge information stamped on the gun (as is standard practice for most commercial firearms). Model 3 revolvers were later produced in an assortment of calibers, including .44 Henry Rimfire, .44-40, .32-44, .38-44, and .45 Schofield. The design influenced the smaller S&W .38 Single Action that is retroactively referred to as the Model 2.[2]

Yep, my bad, I was thinking of 38-55 like I shoot, no 94's in 45-70. The 86 would be a good choice if you want a lever gun. Don't discount the single shots, lots of good choices there, plus you can shoot Quigley matches with it.

For Sale S&W #3 Russian New Model
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L posted a topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
4 3/4" barrel, ivory grips, engraving by Aspen Filly, .44 Russian, excellent condition. I've owned this for 30 plus years, it was my main match gun for a few years until I found a match to my Schofield. I bought it from a dealer who said it was used as a bowling pin gun by a local gunsmith/ shooter. $2500. I can bring it to GOP, EOT or most any match in S. AZ -
If you want a lever gun I'd go with a Marlin or Winchester 94.

If by side matches you mean long range, I think there are better choices. Does it have a tang suitable for a Vernier or tang site. Depending on where you shoot you could be shooting out to 250 yds, or more. Heavy barrel? How many rounds does it hold? Here in AZ long range ties are determined by number of hits with the fastest time a tie breaker. Some clubs only allow you to load 5, others you can stoke it up. Henry makes fine rifles and have a great warranty.

I have a vault built by Better Built (no longer made), it's half the width of my truck bed because I was afraid as I got older I wouldn't be able to list my gun cart over a full width one. I added a cargo slide when I changed trucks, It works well for me. I leave my guns locked in it at shoots.

FOUND ONE. Uberti 1885 Highwall
Boulder Canyon Bob# 32052L replied to Texas Red's topic in SASS Wire Classifieds
I don't know if all Uberti's are like this, but the 2 people I know that use them they are. The Uberti's require you to manually cock the hammer, the Miroku Winchester cock automatically when you open the lever. In AZ long range match ties are called by time, so manually cocking the hammer ads to your time over 10 shots. Just something to consider. When we shoot matches up N, ties are dealt with ,with a shoot off. -
Yes, we talked to him at Cowboy Christmas in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.
