Bucket list gun….38/357 pump !

[JTM35A2]

Well it is for me anyway. I really like 38/357. So while at the hickory fun show, I stopped by @cubrock to see what was going on. The usual was happening, me fondling his various wares. Then, I see it! After giving him a tongue lashing about having to come to a gunshow to know about this particular item, my wheels started turning. A week or so later, it’s mine!
IMI Timberwolf in 38/357, pretty sure it’s unfired, new in box. I have never even seen one in person. Pretty ahead of their time. I haven’t even decided if I can bring myself to shoot it.

He is a facilitator and he is teaching his boys too.

I'm going to catch the one son and get a knife one of these days.

 

[JTM35A2]

He builds some amazing knives! I have a skinning knife and a hatchet type tool of his.
They come over and play whenever we get the chance.

Never heard of them but that has "SNAL" written all over it!

Reports say somewhere between 500~1000 imported around like 88~90. 10 shot pump, integrated optic rail, take down, stock angle/cheek height adjustable for using irons or the optic of choice.

Didn't they also have a .44 mag?

Didn't they also have a .44 mag?

Sure did , had one of each 30 years ago. Wish i still had them.

 

[BrettB]

That’s been on my list for a very long time, I haven’t seen one for sale for a very long time

I had one in .44 magnum, sold it and wish I had kept it

Yes, those are stupid hard to find

I sold it for $700 and thought I had made a killing!

 

[Dan0311]

CONGRATS! I had several range acquaintances that were looking really hard for Timber Wolves. They are $$$. I wouldn't mind owning one myself!

 

[GymB]

Have never seen one in the flesh, but I’d sure like to. Great find!

 

[brundoggie]

That is awesome! I would shoot the heck out of that.

 

[keepcalmandcarryon]

Great find!
I really wanted one back in the day but I think they were very expensive? I want to say $700(?) in the mid 80’s? Anyone recall ?

 

[Slacker]

For some reason I thought they were all stainless. How long is the stroke?
Didn't Henry make a pump 357 also?

 

[MacEntyre]

IIRC, 500 of the 44 mag Timberwolves were imported, and 2,000 of the 357s.

 

[Slacker]

Braztech, are you listening?
Make a pump 357 and a 10 shot 22lr k frame.

I traded a Ruger RSI .308 with scope for mine in the early 90s. My .44 was new and I think I paid $500 for the RSI new.

Gorgeous gun! You can always shoot it, a bit harder to unshoot it.
