How long is that Henry "Mare's Leg" barrel? 12 or 14"?
I ask, because Marlin offers a stainless .44 Mag in 16" now. It's a Model 1894 SBL (in addition to their Model 1895 SBL).
I've already posted this photo elsewhere on THR, so forgive me for the shameless plug, but here's a .44 Magnum 1894 SBL stoked with a 270 grain jacketed flat point @ 1500 fps from 16" (near-max, rifle-only load using AA#9).
Sidearm is a Ruger New Model flat top .44 Special stuffed with Skeeter's favorite 250 grain Keith LSWC @ +/- 950 fps. I would not feel undergunned in Alaska with this combo, but, they are considered at best minimum calibers and ballistics. Both firearms are light weight and made of stainless steel. The carbine weighs 6.5 lbs and the revolver perhaps 38 ozs if that.
