I'm thinking of buying a short barreled lever action in 44 mag. Any suggestions on what to get? I'm thinking maybe the Rossi Ranch hand. I saw this in American Rifleman magazine. It's got a short 12 inch barrel. How is that legal? Anyways, here is the article. It's about half way down the page.

I reckon it's legal because it's advertised as a pistol.

It maybe because it is only offered in pistol round chambers. Looks handy though.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

I like the looks of it, but the barrel is a bit long and its quite heavy. |

That one just might work, Earl. 1000 bucks, though.
I wonder if it is possible to shoulder this one and aim ok. |

If you put a real stock on the Ranch Hand then you have a NFA firearm (10 years & 10,000$ fine) unless you get the NFA paper work. Then most places will not allow you to hunt with it. The Ranch hand is for all the Steve Mc Queen wantabes.
Winchester/Browning has some model 92s out. Me, I'd get a Marlin... Now, if you could find a Ruger # 3

I thought when they repealed the assalt weapons ban it done away with all those
BS laws??????????????and a private gun owner can switch stocks back and forth, but
a dealer cant????????????????????
but +1 on getting a Marlin I think he'd be better off in the long run.
or find an old winchester.......pre sell out...........
I picked up a few rossis and they look kinda of crappy to me although I haven't looked
at the ranch hand????????most the time now when I ask for a gun and the dealer
says Rossi I say hold up, sorry no rossi please....

That (AWB) has/had nothing to do with NFA laws. This is SBR and AOW stuff, even thought it is a lever gun. Go do some light reading on the BAFTE web site. Remember these are the people that said a shoe string is a machine gun, so don't expect it to make sence, it is "just" the law.
