Re: OT 15 months and worth the wait.

Thanks all for the comments. Mr Clements does very nice work. This gun was relegated to the back of the safe for years once I started picking up Bisley Vaqueros and Blackhawks...Now it will likely be the gun that is shot the most :lol:

Re: Sagen Sie mir, auf Winchester 94AE 44 Mag mit langlaufrohr

Winchester Legacy Model, I think they were in .357, 44mag and 30/30. (EDIT) 24 in round barrel pistol grip. Nice guns but did have the cross bolt safety. I have one in 44mag.and it shoots pretty good. I think they went for around $475 back when they first came out. Around 2004 or so I think.

I had good accuracy with the Barnes .377 jacketed over a charge of RL-7. I used between 28 and 30 grns, this was safe/accurate in my rifles. Your mileage may vary.

When you say Win 94 do you mean the newer post 64 issue? If you are looking for headspace fix on an older pre64 you can purchase lugs oversize by .005, .010, and .015. I have done this on a 1917 Win. 1894 30-30. and it works well.
