Even at $10k that’s not a bad investment with the boxes.

hunted with nothing but my 41 JMP Auto Mag. Then like everything else I got bored with it as I had the same gun (almost) in my 41 GNR which I designed after the 41 JMP. A fellow at a custom show offered me around $4500 for it and I took it figuring I could get another one. Lee Jurras was still alive back then and he had sold me the original 41 JMP. I knew they were scarce but I thought there were more than 35 of them. I did hunt with my 41 Auto Mag.I also scoped it for my longer shots. The long (10") barrel is the 45 Win Mag Auto Mag barrel.

There were more than 44 Auto Mag. They are shown in the pic above.
44, 41, and 357 Auto Mag. In the pics here there is a 45 caliber Auto Mag. Mine wasn't as accurate as I like so I traded it to an Auto Mag collecter,

Wishful thinking here. I still have my 41 JMP dies and a ton of loaded ammo. Maybe some day I will run across another moron like me who has one and I can talk him out of it.
I do know (at least Lee told me) that there were several 41 JMP barrels, not a full gun but just a barrel. A good friend, John Charuhas, in Tennessee had one. He put it on his 44 Auto Mag frame and hunted ith it.

That little outlined piece, “bolt accelerator”

I spent a good sweating half hour searching for in tall grass in the pasture. While pondering my plight I came to the conclusion how blessed I was just to own and shoot a genuine AMP .44. An object of desire from my youth. Back in 1979 when my Super Blackhawk cost $179, the racy AMP like John Petersen and that Howard French fellow sported in G&A publications, cost a princely $495! Way out of my reach working at the grocery store for $80 a week. I had a truck payment, insurance, gas, and a girlfriend that tapped the little money I scrapped together.

Alas here we were, Doug and I frantically searching for the little hand made piece I had dropped. (BTW that girlfriend was inside our home, unknowingly). We had a good run shooting the exotic rig, fantastic experience. But I knew I didn’t have any business with it at that time in my life. Time to get out while I could and let another experience it too. Within 2-3 years it was worth double what I sold it for. Such is the life of a gun trader!

That little accelerater normally doesn't just fall out. You
