Larry I tryed to find one a while back everyone suggested Eds.What I did for my 44 was take a super 14 back plastic forend cut it off right behind the forward screw, milled a slot to fit a cut off pachmyer hanger bar and glass bedded it ,looks bitchin. but more work than its worth and man does that 8 in 44 mag kick.

Thanks, that does sound like a lot of work. guess I'll give Ed a call and see what he has in stock. I guess I could also call Georgia Jim and see if he can help me. :wink:

Larry, you need to find one that weighs about 5 pounds.

That might tame that barrel a little. I've got one of the old 8 3/4" ( without the external choke ) octagon .45Colt Hot Shot barrels and there ain't a mule on this planet that can kick like that thing. And that was way back before I got old and turned into such a WHIMP. Good luck with it anyway. Walt
