$850


I have a "JT" series Magnum Research BFR revolver chambered in 45-70 with a 10" barrel. The grips are not original and may require additional fitting. They work fine for my hands. Pistol comes with the original box. Selling to fund another project. PM is the best way to get a hold of me.

Just wondering, purely theoretical, how is the recoil on this?

 

[brasshog]

It depends on the load

Here is what the factory says:
RECOIL OF FACTORY REVOLVERS AND LOADS Formula: Add velocity to bullet weight and multiply that number by the velocity. Then divide by the weight of the firearm multiplied by 8000.
BFR .450 Marlin, 10-Inch 4.5 Lbs. 350-Grain Bullet 1814 FPS 109.04 Recoil Factor
BFR .45/70, 7.5-Inch 4.4 Lbs. 300-Grain Bullet 1472 FPS 74.1 Recoil Factor
BFR .480, 7.5-Inch 3.75 Lbs. 325-Grain Bullet 1409 FPS 81.44 Recoil Factor
Redhawk .480, 7.5-Inch 3.3 Lbs. 325-Grain Bullet 1409 FPS 92.55 Recoil Factor
Redhawk .454, 7.5-Inch 3.3 Lbs. 300-Grain Bullet 1600 FPS 115.15 Recoil Factor
Freedom Arms .454, 7.5-Inch 3.25 Lbs. 300-Grain Bullet 1600 FPS 116.92 Recoil Factor
Super Blackhawk .44, 8-Inch 2.9 Lbs. 240-Grain Bullet 1400 FPS 98.96 Recoil Factor


BFR .45/70 recoils less than all of the above guns including the lowly .44 Magnum with a 4 5/8-inch barrel. The advantages of the .45/70 over the .454 Casull are that the .45/70 is an extremely potent hunting cartridge that is loaded at EXTREMELY low pressures. The Casull is loaded at over 50,000 PSI and the .45/70 is loaded under 25,000 PSI. The .45/70 can be hand-loaded to exceed .454 Casull velocity and still be under 30,000 PSI! There is the big advantage. Much less recoil and half the working pressure means the guns will shoot better and last longer. Ammo is also a lot less expensive and more readily available. THE LONG .45/70 CARTRIDGE DOES NOT MEAN MORE RECOIL IT MEANS MUCH LESS PRESSURE BECAUSE THE POWDER HAS MORE ROOM TO EXPAND, GIVING EQUAL PERFORMANCE WITH LESS PRESSURE.

Have not looked at all yet, how hard are the shoulder holsters to come by? Custom only?

 

[brasshog]

There seems to be enough to at least offer a choice at a reasonable price ($50-$115) without having to go full custom in both nylon and leather. I don't have a holster atm as I wanted a leather shoulder style holster but have a bad left shoulder. Most shoulder holsters are bandoleer/shamrock style but I believe that levergunleather.com has or can make a true shoulder holster. There are also hip/belt and drop leg holsters available in the same price range.
