There's a line between "too expensive" and "too expensive for me" that a lot of folks can't seem to grasp.

Historically these guns were used and used hard.

With the long range game, accuracy and match ammo are everything. CZ's are very good but the diehard fans are aggravating. My 457 American doesn't do anything other rifles don't, except wear a nice walnut stock. The Bergara's are also very good. Mine is the most accurate .22Mag I've ever...

It's not a "boom stick". It's a best grade Purdey double rifle, that is what they cost. To say that they are hand built by expert craftsmen over a period of months is an understatement. They do benefit from modern machining but they are essentially all hand built by people who have dedicated...

Slug the barrel and report back. All else is just background noise.

Obviously an older slow twist rifle. Misguided my posterior orifice.

It's not a .45 but I'm gonna "help". :P

I will say this, I'd rather have to do the locator pin in the grip frame, than the ferrules in the grips themselves.

It's aggravating because they 'look' like normal two piece grips that can be easily swapped. It's the reason I haven't tackled it yet but maybe I should stop putting it off. I hate the plastic grips too.

Marlin made six groove barrels with the 1-38" twist, what does that prove? They do have six groove barrels. When they changed from the stupid 1-38" twist to the 1-20", they went from 12 to 6 groove barrels. Do you just want things to be more difficult? Or do you just want to win an argument?

Oh for God's sake.

Please report back on how it turns out. I hope you know you're going to have to drill a hole for a locator pin. The GWII doesn't have one.

It'd be easy for me. While I would normally choose the .44Spl over a .45Colt in an appropriately sized platform, I don't want a 3" N-frame anything. So it would be the MG. Though I'd prefer a 4" 24-3 over either.

Rifle = 1-30" to 1-38" twist. Pistol = 1-20" twist. Why would they source pistol twist barrels but an overspec bore diameter? They wouldn't.

This isn't going to apply to the Henry, they have pistol-spec barrels with a 1-20" twist.
