Three screw was the .357 and the .30 Carbine, .41, .45 were larger. I read Ruger did make some .44 Magnums on the “.357 Chassis” and they were stressed. So he went bigger. It’s just my recollection, and a challenge for someone to fresh research it, so I don’t have to. lol

I think my .30 Carbine (.300 GNR) is on the OM .”44” chassis. I had a .44 and .38-40 built also, but for sure on the .357 chassis.

I once had a Great Western .44 Magnum (circa 1961) on the SAA foundation. It was horrifically brutal!
