I bought a brand new .44 carbine in 1977 (?) and loved it with the exception of the 5 round in-stock magazine had problems jamming. I sold it because of that issue. I'm sure that after 40+ years they got it lined out. Nice having a rifle and revolver that shared the same cartridge though.

I also had a .357 lever gun to share with my Dan Wesson for a while. But the lever gun just wasn't for me so off it went too.

I'm just holding out for my mini-14. One of these days.

$744, typically. Pretty decent accuracy on the newer models, which have
heavier barrels and some other modifications. The trigger is just ok,
but there are some good gunsmiths around who can fix it up into a smooth
3.5 pounder. I like the rear peep sight.

I actually like the Mini 14 better than an AR in the same caliber.
