I don't get these types of guns.

Some obviously do, hence their existance.

I'm glad you like it, that's all that matters.

How do you load it?

 

[Hawg]

How do you load it?

With a hammer and a long stick.

 

[cptjack]

period correct

 

[4V50 Gary]

How do you get an underhammer 45/70? 45/70 is centerfire and yet it's underhammer too? What am I missing here?

 

[Sure Shot Mc Gee]

Exactly. That's what I was thinking >brass cartridge shooter.

 

[FrontierGander]

lets see how long it takes for these 2 to figure it out

 

[Old Stony]

45 caliber with 70 grains behind it??? This is a strange post!

 

[Pahoo]

Don't ask me why

I once saw a 45/70 rifle that took a cartridge but the primer was external to the cartridge. The primer pocket had a flash-hold in it which the primer flash pass through and ignited the main charge inside the cartridge. You preloaded a 45/70 case. Technically it was not an M/L. May have had a place at Friendship but hardly at a Rendezvous. ......

Be Safe !!!

Is the forend a piece of 2x4? I would have rounded it over a bit.

 

[FrontierGander]

Its made for bench shooting. Round would make it roll. You put this bad girl on a sand bag and its rock solid. One piece stock.

 

[Texas Reb]

Oh. I've never shot from a bench. Shows how much I know.
