Looking at purchasing one of these in 45-70 and have 2 questions. Some of them are listed as being fitted with a long cylinder that is also extra heavy all in 45-70, and i find the Bisley grips appealing would this grip choice prevent or restrict me from fitting it with different grips? Thanks Peter

Peter - the 45-70 models all have a long cylinder, to accommodate the cartridge length. They're still the Bisley grip and you can still install after market grips as you choose. The longer cylinder would not affect the grip.

the frame length is determined by the cylinder length require for the caliber all 45-70 BFRs are long cylinder From MRI the long frame calibers are .30/30 WIN., .444 Marlin, .450 Marlin, .45LC/.410, .45/70 Gov't., .460 S&W, .500 S&W and the short frame calibers are .454 Casull, .44 Magnum, .50AE, .500 JRH, .500 Linebaugh, 475 Linebaugh/. you can ge the Bisley grip frame from MRI

in 45-70 they should all be the long cylinder frame I think some retailers just left it off

Peter, no Sir. The grip attachment points would still be the exact same for both.

Does the "B" in the description designate Bisley? And is this the new stock of BFR's?

Yes it "B" stands for Bisley grips

The BFR stands for "Big Fine Revolvers" according to Magnum Research. (The "Street" name was big F**k**G revolvers) which was definitely appropriate! This pistol Does com with Bisley Black Grips. ((Specifications and Features)): - Magnum Research BFR Single Action Revolver - FR45-707B - .45-70 Government - 7.5" Barrel - Long Cylinder Model - 5 Rounds - Factory Black Fixed Front Sight - Factory Rear Adjustable - Bisley Black Laminate Grips - Trigger Pull 4 to 5 lbs - Cylinder Width 1.75" - Overall Height 6" - Overall Length 15" - Brushed Stainless Steel Finish.

Unfortunately no the B in BFR dies nit stand for bisley. It stands for Big or biggest. Hope this helps
