Picking them up tomorrow. Fourth time out there this week.

Not a bad drive, and I had time to catch up on MBane's podcasts.

From what I was reading yesterday they had to be factory... (reply)

You may be right about the factory fitting. I'd have to read up on it again. I know folks who have multiple barrels for the same frame.

Also, I think I've read the older ones could be fitted with the newer barrels. Would have to look that up, I guess.

…fitted.

And I don't believe they make them that way anymore. The updated RPM XL's are slightly different I think.

What on Earth were you doing in Rockwell City? (reply)

If anyone here on the board wants my .44 Mag Merrill (reply)

Do you know if the Merrill barrels were interchangeable like the T/C barrels are?

Was out near Rockwell City today (reply)

Hard to imagine a gun manufacturing operation there, but Iowans are nothing if not industrious.

I shot one... (reply)

Seen a couple, never interested in owning or shooting. Should imagine a shooting glove would be in order, grips reminded me of the old square T/C. Have shot plenty of those. Thats why I redesigned, for my HOWDAH series.

Didn't know they made one in .454 Casull. That would be interesting!

the other day in 454 with old factory Freedom Arms ammo. I imagine one in 44 Magnum is not too bad. The 454 barrel with 65k PSI ammo was brisk.

Not to sour any potential buyers but... (reply)

Never got around to shooting it, so I can't tell you. I was curious about that myself.

..is its not fun to shoot? lol. How's the recoil?

I've always been interested in them, but to me they always looked like they'd be bordering on painful. I never knew the made a 44 mag.

If anyone here on the board wants my .44 Mag Merrill

You can have it for $625 shipped from my FFL to yours. He is retiring and won't be open after the 24th, so we'd have to consummate the deal before then.

You can see pics and a description here:
