Magnum Research BFR

Notes: The BFR (Biggest, Finest Revolver) is a well-made American revolver that uses virtually all-stainless steel construction and long barrels to produce large, heavy firearms that are built to fine tolerances and perform very well. The BFR is known for its accuracy and quality. The BFR is virtually handmade, parts being hand-fitted and polished. The grip frame is a modified version of that used on the Ruger Super Blackhawk, and the alloy rear sight is also almost identical to that of the Super Blackhawk. The front sight, however, is a simple ramped blade. The cylinder is unusual for a double-action revolver, in that the cylinders are loaded via a loading gate, and the cylinder can rotate in either direction when the loading gate is open.

Magnum Research considers the BFR to have two versions, though both are basically identical except for barrel length. Versions with barrels of less than 7 inches are generally referred to as "Little Max" versions, while longer-barreled versions are called "Big Maxine."

Twilight 2000 Notes: These revolvers do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Meriden Pocket Revolver

Notes: This revolver is not a mystery – it is a simple pocket revolver with a short barrel and a bobbed hammer, and a break-open top for reloading of the cylinder. The mystery is its origin – the Meriden company had unknown ownership. Some say the company was owned by Sears & Roebuck, others say it was owned by Andrew Fyrberg, and still others say it was a part of Stevens Arms. Numbers of manufacture are similarly unknown. The workmanship of these weapons is somewhat crude (some would say shoddy), but they are remarkably durable, though they were introduced in 1905.

New England Firearms Standard Revolver

Notes: New England Firearms (often called simply NEF), a former subsidiary of Harrington & Richardson, introduced this small-caliber revolver in 1988. It is, as the name might indicate, an unremarkable sort of revolver, with either a blued or nickel-plated finish, except for perhaps an unusual choice of ammunition in this day and age: .32 Smith & Wesson Long. It should be noted that while .32 H&R Magnum ammunition will fit in the .32 S&W Long version of this revolver, it should never be fired from the NEF Standard, since the power of the .32 H&R Magnum is way too great for the NEF Standard revolver and could cause a chamber explosion. The rear sight is adjustable. Finish is typically a polished blue/black finish called by NEF the "Lustre" finish.

The Ultra Revolver is basically a larger, more powerful, and heavy-barreled version of the NEF Standard Revolver. The barrel length of the .22 caliber versions is 4 inches, while the .32 H&R Magnum has only a 3" barrel. The finish of these revolvers is typically polished blue.
