Imi .357 pump Timberwolf...

[flatapple]

I have recently had a passion for the Imi .357 pump Timberwolf. Does anyone have any experience with this firearm? What is the current asking price? This just a impulse buy in the works!

I have a spare forearm for one.
I sold it 5 years ago to a guy in California for stupid $ on Gunbroker.
If it's cheap enough don't buy it, send me the info instead.

The IMI Timberwolf, from what I read, were very good firearms. IMI has a great reputation. However they are also almost impossible to find. I have to admit I too have hankerin' for one in .357. Plus if you do find one, be ready to pay collector prices for it.

That said, I have a Taurus Thunderbolt in .45LC ... it shoot's awesome, got it cheap, works fine if you pump it with authority. That said, they are know to have problems, same issue, if something breaks - no parts available, just a wall hanger then. I think both were based on the Colt Lightening design from early 1880's which had a lot of similar problems. Uberti & Pedersoli make replicas too, both are known to have issues. Cost a ton.

I don't understand why someone doesn't make solid pump. I had a Remington 760 in 270 for my first rifle. Loved it! Have 2 pump 22lrs .. shoot great. Maybe Henry would someday build one.

A .357 pump action with a threaded barrel would be awesome for a suppressor host.

Be easy enough to do.

They were made in stainless and the stock does come off with one thumb screw. It does take down, just not the way you're thinking of. That's one of the reason they were banned from importation...the ATF deemed the OAL to be too short. <26"
