The Timber Wolf pump-action carbine was designed by Evan Whildin and was produced by Israeli Military Industries, ending in 1989[1] and is no longer produced. This is one of few modern rifles chambered for revolver cartridges such as the .357 Magnum and the .44 Magnum. Less than 1000 were imported to the United States. A single prototype was made in .32-20.
