Does anyone know where I can find a long barrel for a super Redhawk 44 mag at least 16 inches?

Okay let's play along like this is a serious request even though I have no idea why someone would want one.

Ruger doesn't make one. You would have to find a smith to turn and fit a rifle barrel for you.

Okay I give why would you want one. I have a 10-1/2" SBH I bought for silhouettes back in the early eighties.

Actually... Ruger does make them... or HAS. They were export in 357 for the UK. The picture below is a factory Super RedHawk in 357.

Pretty sure I answered with the same response over on the other Rugerforum, but...

ANY MAKER 44cal barrel blank ~$200-400
Gunsmith $150-250 to crown, thread, and cut forcing cone
Gunsmith $50 to install front sight

Project complete

You will not find one sitting on a shelf, but it's foolish to spend this much time looking for something that is readily made.

I suppose it depends what you consider to be "worth it". Would a 16" revolving carbine built around an SRH do anything that a Marlin 1894 44mag wouldn't do? Nope. Would it do as much as the Marlin 1894? Nope. Would it be a lot of fun? Yup. Would it be unique? Yup.
Well i don't really want or need a circuit judge and i have a Marlin 1894cs 357 mag and a Marlin 1894FG 41 mag, blackhawk 41mag, red hawk ss 41mag that i feel will do just about anything the 44 mag will do, so i don't use the SRH much just thought it would be like Varminterror said fun and unique to build, yes I know the SRH will not do what a 1894 marlin will do in a 44, the problem is the law with barrel length if u attach a shoulder stock to a SRH, ok what about if u would put on a 7" muzzle brake that would bring it to 16 ½ inches would that make it rifle legal?
