Taylor's & Co. Cattleman New Model 4.75" 22 Long Rifle

A: 4.75" Barrel

A: It is 4.75" and the picture looks mostly accurate, the barrel in this picture does look longer then 4.75". But the actual item looks quite similar.

A: Yes, the firing pin is on the hammer but they also installed something called a retractable firing pin block so supposedly you can have all Chambers loaded and not worry about something hitting the hammer and having a round go off. Hope this helps.

A: William, yes but, it is a retractable firing pin so it can safely rest on that 6th round no issue. Avery good demonstration video here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecOGRmMtFow

A: Yes it is on the hammer but it is a "floating" firing pin. The Cattleman II's internal safety mechanism (floating firing pin) disengages the firing pin when the gun is not cocked, thus allowing it to float free in the hammer. The firing pin can only extend and strike a chambered round when the hammer is cocked.
