Re: 357 vs 44 Levergun - video
We all 'know' the 44 is better because it starts with a 4!
This is why I like my 41, best of both ends, little heavier bullet than 357 , velocity increase but not as bad as in recoil as the 44.

If you can't find someone to do the work, go to Trinidad State Junior College ,gunsmith program will most likely have a student there in need of a project. When I was there people were always bringing guns in that needed work or wanted customization. Best part is no labor .
