Seen that. Not the style I’m after. A bit to modern. Neat but not the ticket for me.View attachment 1087470 Try the Rossi circuit judge
Guess you'd have to get a .45 LC revolver with the longest barrel available and add a stock to it. Maybe can even get a longer barrel fabricated?
Barrel has to be greater than 16” to add a buttstock. Not sure anyone is offering a 16” buntline these days.
Uberti has (or at least had) a SAA clone with an 18 inch barrel. It has the capability to mount a stock. I never got around to it for mine but it could certainly be done.Barrel has to be greater than 16” to add a buttstock. Not sure anyone is offering a 16” buntline these days.
Ultimately I may end up with one of them. But they don’t have the pistol grip I’m hoping for. I know it’s picky, but I love the look.Uberti has (or at least had) a SAA clone with an 18 inch barrel.

Cimarron sells one.

Taylor's also sells one.

They are probably both made by Uberti.
There are some made, mostly reproductions of another age, but some are for specific purposes. The biggest reason revolver rifles were not commercially successful in the main was the cylinder gap would singe your shirt sleeve or forearm if not careful. And lever gun design quickly became affordable and reliable.
If you saw the rest of my collect you might understand. I don’t collect normal guns. Antiquated does not mean boring. Many are actualy quite fun to shoot.Never understood why some people are so fascinated by the concept. The very first guns Colt produced at the Paterson factory were shotguns and rifles but there are very good reasons why they never caught on.
I really want Rossi to make a version of the Circuit Judge with a Taurus 908 (8-shot .357 magnum) frame. That would be cool. I think the Circuit Judge is cool looking, but just don't feel like buying a .410 shotgun (at the moment. Maybe someday I'll change my mind).View attachment 1087470 Try the Rossi circuit judge

Big difference between liking something that's different and liking something that doesn't work.Because everyone is different, we like what we like. I know people that can't understand why I like single action revolvers....there is no case at all for them. Double action they "can" see, from the simplicity aspect, but a single action there is no reason to have one past you enjoy it.

Have you ever fired a revolving long gun? Obviously not.So you are saying the things made today don't work?
Yes I understand in days gone by and the dangers of a chain fire, but that was then and this is now, and do you really think that a large company would put out a product that does not work or would be a law suit waiting to happen?

It would probably be fine if it had some sort of blast shield to keep from burning your forearm. You would certainly have a performance advantage with a 16-18" SRH over the current crop of leverguns. I'm going to have JRH tune one of the new Taylor's 1-20" twist 1892's to basically accomplish the same thing, 50,000psi and looooong bullets.I gotta admit, @CraigC , I saw a Carbine-ized Redhawk a couple of years ago, and it made me lust HARD for a Super Redhawk version with a GP44 nose job and a Bayside style float tube to support the handguard, thinking of a 357/44 B&D or a 44/454 wildcat. I’ve had two revolving carbines in the past, and stocked and rebarreled a Super Blackhawk once for the novelty of it, but I agree, it’s largely a gimmick. But I might be ok with owning a gimmick 44/454 Super Redhawk Carbine as a deer and hog hammer!
