The .38-40 is another "old" cartridge much misunderstood - like the .45 Colt - that can be "woken up" in a strong and modern gun. We had Dave Manson grind properly dimensioned minimum reamers to cut properly sized tight chambers for additional strength and safety. Oversized six shot cylinders are fitted behind a properly dimensioned barrel. Bisley™ parts are recommended for best shooting control along with Linebaugh Custom Grips.

 

 The 38-40 is an excellent choice for a light game cartridge without the heavy recoil.
