I just recently picked up a nice 73 short rifle.20″ round barrel. in 44 cal. After looking through the madis book i see only one rd bbl in 20″.
Is this a hard rifle to find.
Does anyone have any numbers on how many were made.
thanks in advance.

Tony,
In Jim Gordon’s book he surveyed 2889 rifles and broke them down by barrel length. There was 53 20″ 44’s in one table and 19 20″ round barrels in another chart but he never figured both caliber and barrel shape together. You would have to manually look through his survey book and count 20″ round barrels in 44. No one has every compiled figures from the factory records since there is so many.
