Quote HistoryI couldn't afford to build a 45-70 Enfield so I rebarreled a Savage in 45 WinMag. Works fine loaded to 45-70 levels. My Encore pistol is a 50-70, though. I do own a HandiRifle in 45-70; an earlier ejector model. |

I want a side loading lever action. I'd use it for home defense. I imagine taking a 4570 to plate or soft armor, much less flesh would knock the fight out of someone.

Quote HistoryQuoted: @shack357 is that a Gibbs? How reliable does it feed? Quote HistoryQuoted: @shack357 is that a Gibbs? How reliable does it feed? Yes it is. Feeds well, if the rounds are loaded into the mag correctly-all the way back, and centered. Took a couple range sessions to figure that out. Wanted one for years, got bored before a dentist appointment last year and went driving around. Found a gun shop in a back alley and it was on the shelf. $495. |

Free lead is best lead! Yeah I need to start reloading 45-70. I could really go for .25 a round. At minimum start collecting scrap lead and of course keep your brass. Even jacketed bullets on the ground. Cut a slot if they are encapsulated in a copper jacket and they will melt in a Lee pot. The copper jacket will float to the top. Of course bullet lead is dirty so you might want to process it first to make clean ingots, your Lee pot will thank you and drip less. If you make a bullet trap before shooting you can collect your lead bullets in the dirt and recast them. Tedious but really helps during ammunition droughts like we’re experiencing now. |

All of this took place back in the middle of everybody being locked down because of the Shanghai shivers. Of course during the lockdown everybody begin to panic and they were buying everything they could get their hands on. The gun was located at one of his distributors and they were three weeks behind in shipping guns. I got the last one they had. Three and a half weeks later I finally got it. I haven't seen any more of them for sale. I know that people are having a hard time getting the reproductions from Italy. Taylor's and Company do not have a lot in their inventory right now. The reproduction industry in Italy is still playing catch-up |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Release the inner Mexican! I prefer a cartridge box that protects the cartriges. I agree. I just don't get all of the cartridges in slings and on stocks. There's the obvious issue of potentially losing or damaging cartridges, but it also makes the rifle in hand needlessly heavier. It's a dang .45-70. How many rounds do you need to get the job done?  Most have tubes that hold at least 4, if not more, plus one in the chamber. Mine is 6+1. And if I want to carry more, a spare box in a pocket/vest/pouch carries better, at least for me.Seems like an Instagram thing. |
