Magnum Research BFR 45-70 Gov 10" Stainless Steel Revolver 5-Shot

The Magnum Research BFR4570B delivers exceptional power in the potent 45-70 Government cartridge, engineered for hunters and enthusiasts who demand maximum stopping power. This extra-large frame revolver transforms traditional rifle cartridge performance into a portable handgun platform. The 10-inch barrel maximizes velocity potential while maintaining manageable overall length.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard revolvers limited to pistol cartridges, the BFR accommodates full-power rifle ammunition in a single-action design. The extra-large frame construction distributes recoil forces across a broader surface area compared to smaller revolvers. Brushed stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh hunting environments where blued steel would show wear. The long cylinder design accommodates the 45-70's extended case length without compromise.
