I should have took a picture of it. I do have to go to the city this weekend, I am going to try and swing by so I can document this.

Big honkin jeep they do sort of have this in a wheel gun. I know Dan Wesson used to make revolvers in .357max. But they were k ow to flame cut the top strap.

As for the legend theres a few guys who have been shooting a wildcat round the .357Max AR. Or .357 rimless. It's a necked up .223 case and trimmed to .357max length of 1.6in the 350legend has a case length of 1.7in. Some of those guys are loading the bullets out to magazine length so they're getting close to the same capacity on powder I believe.

I initially looked at the .357max AR as a project for a Savage bolt gun but have decided to go the AR platform instead but may see where the 350 legend goes first. Although with the .357max AR the barrel I was looking at is .358 bore I stead so to shoot the 200gr FTX in .358

This was 1 month ago

Doesn't mean that rifle hasn't been sitting there on the shelf for several years for that very reason. Anyone who looks at it would see it plain as day and walk away from it.

LOL! That's how I got a deal on a M11 in .260 Rem. The dealer was tired of storing it. ;-)

They were all like that 8 in total and at Scheels. I doubt any gun sits that long at places like that, I could see stale inventory if this was a mom and pop. The rest of the gun had nice fit and finish.

You might be surprised - I've seen stranger things.

On a side note, around here most every multi-gun raffle I've come across in the last 10 years was giving away at least one Marlin 1895 Guide Gun in .45-70. It's not a coincidence, that's the best way for the dealer to get rid of the bad ones since fighting with Marlin to fix or replace them typically goes nowhere. Some club or group comes in wanting prices on guns or a raffle and he throws one or two in at a price they can't refuse.

Looks like a 357 Max rimless.
