OK, this is at the point of silly day-dreaming now, and at the risk of looking a fool, I'll put my day-dreaming on the forums for you to shred. As per Venom1956's request, here's the deal:
OK, I have this idea for a bear/back-packing/hunting revolver: a .454 Super Redhawk cut for .45 ACP/moon-clips and ported ('cuz I'm a portin' fool). I don't own this gun yet, but have been thinking about it, and lusting for a long time.
However, I think it would be super-awesome to have a companion gun that'd use the same ammunition. I could suffer not having it in a cheap caliber (it'd be the one gun I own that's not), since it's a lever gun, and I have plenty of other guns to shoot. It would just be BA to have a .454 Casull lever gun.
However, after searching around lever gun producers, sadly Marlin and Henry don't produce levers in .454. Only Rossi does. So my questions are:
1.) Does Rossi blow, should I stay away at all costs? My guts tell me, "Yes."
2.) Does anybody other than Rossi do a .454 lever gun?
3.) If nobody does a .454 lever gun, who would do the custom work for such a gun? Is it possible?
