Okay, I know Gunkwazy has a .50-70 "Mother Lode" Model 500, anyone else here got one?
Picked this up from my transferring dealer on Friday. Model 100 .45-70. Still had the G&A from 1977 featuring one on the cover.
How to make a Desert Eagle look svelt! Replica Walker Colt doesn't look very big alongside it.
A more massive frame and cylinder than even the X-frame Smith or the BFR. Sure it has one more hole in the cylinder, but... Size and weight is right at the limit of what I can actually hold out there one-handed and do something resembling taking aim before firing. Took it to the range on Saturday. Like with the .45-70 BFR, recoil from regular (Rem, Win, Fed) factory loads wasn't anything to be scared of, but talk about a pig in terms of ergos. Finished the range session at the bench, where it shot well at 100yds.
