    Definitely close in weight. . ;)




    Alright. . I'll tell. I have a Minty MS 440 Magnum on the way. I passed on to many nice ones. I wasn't letting this one go.

    Gonna make me a nice hybrid. . :dex:

    Make the hybrid with a less than mint model. 440s re-sell way to well in mint condition to molest like that.

    Probably gonna keep the 460 as is and just get a 460 top end for the 440. Having two 460's is redundant. ;) So one may go down the road.. Someone already has first dibs on it.. :thumbs:

    I guess I am missing something. A 440 with a460 top is now a 460 right?

    Dont take this wrong i am trying to understand what's going on here. So you bought a miny 440 to turn into a 460? What is the benefit vs not buying a minty 460?

    Not trying to rain on the parade, just trying to understand that I am not missing something

    Ah ok. I knew the 460 was a bit heavier..so I guess this cuts that weight down.

    Thats what I was looking for. Carry on.

    If I could find a good bottom end I would do that with my 46.

    Someone is speaking my language ;)

    The 044/440 hybrids are lighter and more gooder :dex:

    Plus, I wanted one.. ;)

    The heart wants what the heart wants. .

    I also want a 660 right now.. I had a deal on one, but it fell through. It even had the matching Madsens 3/4 wrap that my 460 does.

    I should wait for the 661.. But prices are easier on a nice 660.

    I got to run one last year. They're nicer than a 660 in every way.

    You think the 441 was underpowered stock? You will hate a 660 unless it's going to Randy before you ever touch it.

    You heard the man.
