I have a 744 with a 6" vent barrel. I have a B-square mount and sometimes have a scope mounted.

I've been looking for a decent price on a 4" barrel for a couple of years and I finally found one at a recent gun show.  4" VH stainless. I think I did OK for $200.00 cash (no tax). It sure looks nice and changes the feel of the gun.

I'm going to be able to switch between a scoped 6" for hunting and an iron-sighted 4" for hunting/carrying.

Now all I have to do is find some grips (I hate these Pachmayr Presentations!) and make/buy a holster.

You did pretty good on it.  The 4" assy's. with correct roll markings don't come around very often.  I had an extra just like it I passed on to a another member here about a month ago - there's a few around but certainly not that many.

Looks good with the 4" barrel, and that is a nice scope setup on the 6". That was a very good price on the 4" barrel.

And you didnt buy the 715 Palmer with the 32mag shroud Monson?  man what is up with that!

 

The Gun show bugboy is talking about had a few Dan's, one fellow whom I will invite to this place had a 744 miss matched Ba's though nice looking (he sold the 4" for 200), also a 8"HV unmilled for sight and screw w/ a scope mount.  It was mounted on a 15-2 frame nice looking set up.  More Dan's on one table then I had ever seen at a Wichita show.

I didn't notice it and even if I had, I'm not a collector and don't have a desire for a .32mag.  Plus I'm just a poor retired E-7 suffering from Obama's economic "plan". 

I was excited to get the 4" though. Went out and shot it this afternoon. I like it!

Just to be stupid, I'm going to make a kydex concealed carry holster and carry it some.

Ah  it wasn't a 32 mag (a 715 (357mag) with the 32 shroud).  had to be the same guy though. 

 

I agree the 4" is hoot to shoot and carrying it, i would hate to be the bad guy that gets in your face!    Let me know how the holster works out as I would love to carry a 744 in the winter! 

 

thank you for your service!   proud-to-be-an-american
