"Pump" .44 Input?
Wednesday, July 03, 2019, 12:39

My brother's recent passing left me with an unfired IWI Timberwolf .44 pump action he purchased in the '90's. I've put maybe a dozen rounds thru it... it's OK... it's light, but exudes a certain 'flimsy-ness' about it too. Gary said he's had experience with them and the .44's were somewhat more prone to mis-feeding than the .357' models. No problems so far with this one. Any input (WB?) on these 'long out of production' carbines? Is it a mini 'gold mine?' Sorry to hijack a 'lever-gun' thread... =^\

.44 Mag Levergun suggestions? A friend is in the market. - ChrisG, 2019-07-03, 09:41
