Was listening to Marty Robins song today called Mr, Shorty. He sings about a Short Barreled Batt 44. I think I found it, or could have been it.
Mine is a 4.25" barreled 2nd model American. The chamber has been reamed to accept a short 44-40. The action works, if you cock it slowly so the cylinder stop catches. The spring for the barrel latch is gone too.
Guess I need to load some shells for it to see if it spouts 17" of flame like Mr Shorty's.
Does anyone else think they have Mr Shorty's gun?
