G-MAN Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Currently on display at the NRA museum. Note the jeweling on the trigger flat and the Roper grips. Someone over on the S&W forum said that it may have actually shipped from S&W with the Ropers if he ordered it that way. There has been at least one documented RM that shipped with Ropers and Gable's may be another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I thought the 'registered' guns were .44 Rem Mag. Those cartridges sure aren't .44 Rem Mags!Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were hand assembled and made to order only.Whoever hastily put together that display at the NRA museum just tossed in a few Hollywood multi-caliber blank cartridges, which is what's in the picture.
