Both barrels on one receiver? If it's truly a 44 and not a 44 1/2 make sure it has a lugged hammer and keep your loads really light. There's a reason they moved their "heavy" stuff to the 44 1/2 - the 44 1/2 is a true falling block in which the breech block is supported by the receiver mortise, pretty strong. The 44 breech block is more of a rolling block or a tilting block, which is supported mainly by the through pins in the action. Really neat guns but you gotta be careful what you stick in them.
