Hard to find and very expensive I think that they can be converted to center fire, but I don't think that would help the value IIRC there was a company in south America that made RF ammo but I think that went out of business Edit... A quick search of Gun Broker shows that there is some old .44 RF but it is expensive... The good news is that a quick YouTube search shows that RF is reloadable, not easy but it can be done... |

There are some cases made which put a small pistol primer pocket on the rim for these old rimfires, but they have to be aligned just right in the chamber to make sure the firing pin strikes the primer.

I don't see the edit 44044? I am getting senile and blind I guess.
I saw that Enforcer in my Googling. Geez no rapid fire with that though when the bad guys are coming. |

The one I got in today...Looks just like that one. Except for no saddle ring and not a ding on it.

Guess I’m too short on money to bid, ffl friend had a old octagonal barrel Winchester on consignment that was priced at $5000, now that $5k seems like a deal.

It would be cool to have a piece of history like that, on the other hand that’s all it’s good for. If you shot it, it would devalue it. So then it just becomes bragging rights on the inter webs and circle jerk material for rich gun dudes. You can buy a hell of a lot modern firearms and ammo for $12,000.
Apologies to any rich gun dudes that jerk off to their Uber expensive rare firearms that can’t be shot for fear of devaluation. It is their property and I’m not judging.
