    There is a guy on this forum who calls himself "Camp Cook".

    He basically made a Canadian Alaskan.

    He bought a Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull with a long barrel. Then he had it shortened to 4.2 inches and re-registered at that length.

    The finished product looked really good. But I imagine the total price was pretty steep.

    Yeah, your best bet is to buy a used Super RedHawk and get someone to chop it. Armco does it for a reasonable price and does very good work. I plan on doing it to mine one day.

    Unfortunately very few of us can actually have the arm at our side where it belongs. Most of us have a "sit on top of the bench because it is oh so dangerous and way too evil" arm.

    If it's only a .44 Magnum you want (not a .454 Casull) then you are in luck.

    Ruger is already making a 4.2 inch Redhawk in .44 Magnum.
    They are just starting to show up at Canadian dealers right now.
