Little Bear Torsen Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Hey wild bunch family Need advice on which lever gun can be slicked up the best that will run .44mag. Marlin, what Winchester clone (1992?), Henry side gate, Rossi 92...anything honestly, whats best. I'd like to buy once as my SASS .38 won't work. Also, Ty for the help re 1911. Went with the Springfield garrison. Absolutely love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Marlin guns can be made fairly slick. Winchester 1892 designs - not so much. Why do you think you need a .44 Mag? .44 special or .44-40 are PLENTY of gun for Wild Bunch. If this is also going to be a hunting gun, PERHAPS it's a reason to have one in .44 Mag. I'd run .44 Specials in it for WB though. good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bear Torsen Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Well said and thank you, GJ - been getting the same coaching from a few others too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marlin Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I've been using a Marlin 44 mag ,but I shoot 200 grn 44 spls in it. Works well for me. It's very accurate and feeds almost anything reliably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Dan Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 My son shoots a uberti 1873 carbine in 44mag. Slicked up and short stroked by me and I load it the same as my 44/40, with 44mag cases, not 44spl. He chose 44mag to also use it for hunting, has since gotten a Winchester 30/30, so it only gets used for SASS. Yes uberti did make a 44mag model 73. I think they discontinued, but there around. Great SASS rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Used a Rossi 92 in 44 Mag for several years, mostly because I had a lot of 44 stuff on hand. Great little rifle untill I got a 73 carbine in 44/40 Used a Mag case with 4.5 Clays under a 200 gr. GW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michell Creek Kenyen Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I use a late model Marlin 1894CB in 44 mag, I normally shoot 44 spl but down loaded 44 mags work fine The best thing I did to my 44 mag 1894cb was install the one piece firing pin kit from the cowboy and Indian store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee River Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I've been researching and reading a lot on this topic here and the SASS forums. It seems the rifle is the third (dare say least important) leg of the WB stages in local club, and a "good" '92 would be fine. I as well am considering searching for a 1892 in 44 Mag, probably a Browning B92. I don't like safeties, rebounding mechanisms and other lawyer stuff, and the Browning sounds like the best choice w/o. It know I will have two options to work through and test - either downloaded 44 mag cases or 44 specials. I reload, but not in 44 cal yet. I know 44-40 would be excellent for the 1892, but I prefer having options for use in other purposes other than WBAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
