I have one of these also in the same caliber. Go to
thefirearmsforum.com
Mr. Goforth is a forum member and very helpful with anything related to
Iver Johnsons and H&Rs. You will see my thread there on my .44 bulldog with his input.
By the way, if you ever decide you want to part that revolver out please let me know.
I could use some of those parts for mine as some of my parts aren't original and don't
quite fit right. Thanks!
