CDNN has been selling these Winchester/Navy Arms in the "white" 1892 44 magnum rifles and I was really LUSTING after one of these rifles! I could have Tyler Gun Works case color and blue with nitre screws and pins for about $600-700. The rifles have been selling for $1300-1375 range.
What is not to like in a lever action 44mag with great pistol grip checkered wood, 20" octagon barrel, set up for a tang site?

This is what the Navy Arms rifle looks like as a finished rifle...
The devil is in the details! Although I love this rifle and it is what I have been looking for except for not having a 24" barrel. Something kept nagging at me. I ferreted out the twist rate on the barrel and it is 1:16" which apparently is very fast(?).
Most all the Winchester 92's these days in 44 mag have a 1:26" twist rate which seems to work just fine with the article I read http://www.castpics.net/subsite2/ByCaliber/Cast in the .44 Magnum Rifle.pdf
Nothing is easy these days!
