I have3 of the older 1s and am looking for another,pref the newer 1 so that I can rebuild it as a .454 casull. I really think that would be a great combo of .454 casull both in revolver and semiauto carbine. I totally agree that they are the deadliest close range "brush" gun in existance-as far as I'm concerned. I can't think of much that's better than 5 shots of .44 magnumin a light,extremely manuverable rifle.Two of mine wear 2.5 fixed power scopes mounted as low as possible while the other is a early peep sight model.
