Fun rifles I have one as well. Killed mane Boggs a few deer and 2 Buffalo. Yours has a much nicer stock tho

Thank you it is a neat rifle for sure. Interesting and different and you can shoot full bore 45-70 loads similar to 458 win mag loads. The only reason I am selling is to fund the build of a 500 smith and wesson mag on the same action that is almost complete

Cool idea

@ktk120
A mate had one back in the early 80s. He was loading for it one day using trapdoor loads. While he was out of the room I loaded up 5 rounds using Ruger No1 data and put them in my pocket.
We went out to his range to shoot a few gongs. His loads were carry pleasant but imagine his surprise when I loaded up the full power loads and he touched one off. Really lit him up and he wanted to know WTF happened as I was laughing my guts out. When I told him he was not amused but ended up loading full power all the time after that.

bump....last bump before off to gunbroker. Will entertain offers

I’m thinking along the lines of a rebarrel for mine. Maybe a .50 s&w prone of the Turnbull rounds

What is the length of pull? How does it group?

 

[ktk120]

LOP is around 14" maybe touch over. I shot about 20 full power loads I use in my No 1 and shot about a 2" group at 100 without even trying hard. That is the only time I shot it. Fed and ejected just fine
