I haven't got one yet. I have however decided to just get an original 44-40 1892, worse case it needs a barrel liner fitted. Best case I get a rifle that can shot with a proper 24" barrel and no abomination on its tang. If my 38-40 from 1903 can shoot well (how many rounds do you think might have been don that barrel in 110 years?) then I sure there must be original 44-40 out there that can.
If the new Winchester had the correct barrel and the correct tang then I would be willing to lash the cash. Come on Winchester no half measures!
