That is an Encore with a .414 SuperMag barrel on it. Here is it's brother, also a .414 SuperMag.

Here's some others.

Some clown put that Millett sight on there. I have returned it to original.

I think that's all of them. I did sell a 10" Contender barrel in .41 Magnum.

IHMSA, is that one of the original run of Marlin 1894's? I see the straight-grip stock. I have a 1894FG that I swapped parts to make a straight-grip; I'm thinking of whacking the barrel to 16", tooâ¦Â I did install a Williams peep sight on it as well.

All those .41's and no Ruger Bisley? I can fix thatâ¦

Yes Charlie, that is one of the original ones. I just put the stock buckhorn sight and hooded front back on it.

Sorry, just not a big Bisley fan myself.

Another .41mag guy here. Bought my first, a Ruger Blackhawk in 1982. I also have a Redhawk, a Marlin 1894 from their more recent run, a S&W 8 3/8" stainless, two 8" DW blued, and will be making (as Mike did) a 414 switch barrel SM.Â
The barrel blank I bought for this project is long enough to make a 15". I haven't figured out a practical way to make a shroud for it though. I have no special setup for deep hole drilling. If I could find a couple of SM shrouds that needed finishing work (and wouldn't cost too much) I'd consider tig welding them together. Maybe 12" would be plenty longâ¦..I just thought it'd be fun to have something different. Initially, that was the appeal of the .41mag for meâ¦â¦.it was different!

Nice pics! Glad to see some 41's on here also. I have a few S&W's and the new to me DW Model 41. When hunting season is over and the weather clears I can't wait to shoot it.
S&W's:
6" Model 57 - 1979, 4" Model 57 - 1980, 4" Model 657-4 Mtn Gun - 1998, 6" Model 58 - 2010
DW: Model 41 Ser # C0016xx - Vintage (I'd like to know)

And I will pop in here as another .41 fan, I have hunted for a DW in .41 or .414 for a long time and never found one. Right now I have a 657, a Blackhawk, a Super 14 Contender and a Taurus in .41, matter of fact the 2" 5 shot Taurus is my everyday carry gun. I did have a Marlin in .41, but sold it to a friend that really wanted it. I had a Bisley years ago when I was still shooting IHMSA regularly, but it was not that accurate so I sold it.
