I have wanted a 50-70 carbine and I had a box of parts. I needed a barrel donor and wanted one I didn't feel too badly about cutting. I found this barrel and receiver and thee last 6 inches were toast. I cut it down and proceeded with the project.
They originally only made 4 prototypes of these and I can't seem to find any pictures. Dick Hosmer was kind enough to give me some pointers in what things should look like. I didn't want to make a fake, just something that fits the bill. The stock is from a musket and was cut down long ago. The nose profile is wrong, might have to splice a new one on at some point.
Anyway on with the pictures. I hope to shoot it soon!
