   I believe so for a short time, back in the gold rush times, South Island, diggers getting robbed and shot getting to and from site. Was a doco on telly a few years ago. Also the NZ land war.

   I know well before my time there were some hand guns around. I'm not sure about how wild it was. They may have come back from the war... I don't really know.

   I thought they all did? Marlin definitely do, pretty sure Henry and Winchester do also. I've been toying with the idea of a suppressed 357 and shooting 38spl for subsonics, rather than a bolt...

   I think that when they first came out here the 357 was popular but over time many pig hunters moved to the 44 mag with say 16" barrel. Other lever calibers readily available are 45/70 but I don't...
