The Santa in the brown suit paid me a visit today.

I sent in my 45-70 SB2 frame and got an 18.5 inch 44 magnum barrel.  It came back today.  The stock is standard synthetic open sight stocks.  Its super-handi, cant wait to shoot it.  Now that it is back, I intend to get a new front sights on both barrels and get a peep for the 44 mag (the 4570 already has one).

Sounds nice!! I bet that .44 will be alot of fun, not to mention easier on the pocketbook as far as ammo costs.

Yep.  The 44 is the first cartridge I ever reloaded for and I still have the dies.  I have some brass but will need to order bullets.

I have an SB-1 frame .410 that has an excellent trigger. I have been thinking about sending it off for a .44 barrel.

The 44 was the first handi I got and could kick myself for selling the barrel, will be sending frame in to have another fitted to it in the next week or two.
