I don’t know anything about these but it looks like a winner. Cartouche remains, nice aged oil finish on the walnut. Beautiful rifle. Do you have to reload black powder for these or are .45-70 cartridges still made?

1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms... It doesn't matter how many Lenins you get out on the street begging for them to be taken.
