Anyone got one for sale? Can't afford an über ruger so a Taurus I guess? Cash and slot waiting.

Valmont. Yes, so I read. Taurus no longer manufacture them so I'm told. No idea what the real situation is.

I don't think the dealers are the wiser either. Lots of things could happen between now and the future, I get the impression overall Taurus wherever they are a funny bunch to deal with.

If it helps, I've noticed some people taking the judge carbines which are coming into the country and turning them into LBR's. I have seen 22lr/22 mag and 38/357. Not sure of 44's though.

Just picked one up for a bargain. Needs a bit of work though.

Can anyone recommend a good pistol smith for truing up a cylinder by a thou?
