Nice. What year is it? You mentioned the tail on the Piettas, I know Uberti (GU) made the G&G also early on.
How is that one marked if I may ask?
I wouldn't be interested in .44 Navy, but before I mentioned it I would post a pic of a shot up refer so people would think I was a red neck instead of an elitist jerk.
Given that...I am glad for the fantasy guns, and would guess that they keep both Pietta and Uberti in business. I see it the other way around now MJN77, even though it all started as you say.
MJN, so one would need a historically accurate Reproduction, to participate in a fantasy live action Role Play match? Ok I gotcha LOL I'm just kidding man.
I think I'd like NCOWS better but their matches are a long way from here.
I'm not that way about anything after the turn of the century tho. I'll chop up a milsurp bolt action in a heartbeat.
Not me. Military rifles that were used on the battlefields of WW1 and WW2, to me, are as "special" as the ones used on the battlefields of the civil war. I mean, hell, WW1 started over a hundred years ago now, and they aren't making any more 1903 Springfields. That's my view.
