BFR Rolling Thunder 45-70

[BP84]

Has anyone seen this? Couldn’t imagine firing a 45-70 out of a snub nose revolver.

Not out of a snub nose revolver, but I believe Bond Arms makes a Derringer that fires that round.

I’ve shot 45-70 out of a Marlin and it had a thump to it. Couldn’t imagine trying to hold on to a derringer.

There's a utube channel called 1shot TV.
If you look through his videos you'll find one where he shoots one. It's pretty funny.

Many, many moons ago, a friend presented me with a 2- shot .38spl snub nose that I believe was made by Intratec.
It was an over/ under where the barrels swiveled out sideways to load/unload.

Every time you pulled the trigger, it felt lime someone smacked your palm with a hammer.
I got rid of it after only a half dozen shots or so.
No way I was t to hold onto a .45-70gvt with a "snub nose" barrel.

It's imaginary.

Think I just got it, I gotta google the title I think. TLDG.

"BFR" or "Biggest, finest, revolver" is one of the heaviest revolvers out there.
Even with a 2" barrel, the cylinder alone probably weighs more than most J- frams.

45-70 out of my 10" bfr can be pretty wild i couldn't imagine shooting the heavy stuff out of that short of a barrel. If you get on Magnum Research custom shops website and build one to the same spec it'll run about 3k.

 

[BP84]

Yea, I think the one on GunBroker was going for either 3500 or 3900.

Ah, no.

This may be a case of "just because you can, does not mean you should".

I shoot 45-70 from a 12" Encore barrel. Ok if you keep the speed to 1400 fps. More gets a little painful.
