Same as the BC in the $340 range that I've seen in Ohio.

Mine was $218.88 bought in parts with an accessory barrel!! ;D The butt was off my 38-55 which became a 405 Winchester with a different stock set.

Worked for me, only I just had it fitted to an SB2 Ultra frame and ordered a carbine forend with it for $31.88. It's got a darker stain on it than the butt stock tho which I already had, that's the only problem, but it's not as obvious in person as it is in the pic!! ???

Quick,

What length is the accessory barrel (listed as 22") vs. the complete rifle (listed as 20")?

Are the sights on the accessory barrel the same as for the complete rifle?

What do you think of the bore dimensions?

Barrel is 20" and comes with sights, either way. That's a typo on the acc barrel page.

Bore slugs at .4525" groove and .4465" lands, is .0005" tighter at the chamber end.

How does it shoot?  Can I expect something better than the experience I had with the .44 mag?    If factory bullets come at .452 does this mean I will have to order oversized bullets to get good accuracy?

Well, I’m tempted.  For years I have been picking up 45 long Colt empties until I have enough that it is bothering me not to have something to do with all them.  Perfect excuse for getting another gun, don’t you think?
