Didn't even know it was an unofficial "Gun Appreciation Day" yesterday,but I picked up one of these:

If capacity is an issue for you, why not use higher power 30-30 with a magazine holding 10 cartridges. Can't fault you on the fun aspects of the style or 45 colt. I've always wanted a saddle gun chambered in 45-70. Kind of a monster cartridge and probably accounted for the near extinction to the buffalo herd.

I hear the blow back out of the cylinder is bad because of how close your face is to it. When you shot it did you find that to be true?

Re: I'm going Cowboy.
I wanted a revolver carbine, not a lever gun. Just because. If I was worried about volume of fire, I would have spent less money on a modern 45ACP HI-Point carbine. I don't plan to fight the government or gangsters, this is a multipurpose camp/truck/range gun that can double on home defense if needed. But I doubt I'll ever need it for that.DikTracy6000 wrote:If capacity is an issue for you, why not use higher power 30-30 with a magazine holding 10 cartridges.

for those who don't care about the shotshells, they make it in a 44 magnum model.

They put some deflectors on it that seem to handle that. I'll get it to a range next weekend.Lewis Medlock wrote:I hear the blow back out of the cylinder is bad because of how close your face is to it. When you shot it did you find that to be true?

Its like I tell my son, if you cant solve your problem with 6 rounds, you probably cant solve your problem with bullets.

Started fixing the crappy stock finish Rossi puts on their wood. I'm not a fan of the reddish tint they use, either, I'm staining it browner. I think it'll actually look nice when done.

Done!
It's a tad less red than this pic appears...it's a mystery hardwood, kind of a mahogany shade now.
Planning a day at the range tomorrow with this, a High-Power clone, and maybe a Mosin Nagant.

Re: I'm going Cowboy.
It's kind of cool to hold a weapon that was carried and virtually guaranteed to have been used in WWII. The receiver's dated 1939 on this one. I found a sniper model too, but have to locate a period scope and mount for it. Probably budget for that a few months from now.Blaidd Drwg wrote:Schlegel wrote:Done!

Okay- didn't get to shoot any one gun a lot due to crowding as the 4 of us had to share one lane, but I did get to try all three weapons. I'll put reviews up.
