WOLFY Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Since modern .44-40 bores are the same as .44spl, it wasn’t that much of a chore for Boomstick Jay to cutoff the back 5” of bbl and form a Russian chamber for it. He also added a set screw to my carrier and notched the bolt.
Pat Riot Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Excellent! Good job! Have you shot it yet?
WOLFY Posted September 1, 2024 Author Posted September 1, 2024 yepp it’s a 19.5” bbl but holds 12 plus 1 (here it is w my 16” 73 converted to .44 russian as well)
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 @WOLFY, I betcha if you load it today, you'll be able to shoot it ALL WEEK!
bgavin Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I also have an interest in 44 Russian, but for plinkers and light loads. I was on the Starline Brass waiting list for an actual 12 months, until I finally gave up.

I was on the Starline Brass waiting list for an actual 12 months, until I finally gave up. I've about 660 Starline cases left (plus another 500 I bought a couple years ago from when Top Brass was disco'ing their 44 Russian). I load 'em to the same fps I get from 44 spl. I got an email from Starline a bit ago that they've got various .44 types in stock again.
bgavin Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Wonderful! I have about 200 ct of Starline Russian. May pick up some more now they are making production runs again.
