Thread: Who's shooting .45/70. ?

Yeah those little carbines kick abit used to have one myself I sold it to a nice chap on here
Glad to hear it’s going well for you

Heres my cannon
I replaced the trapdoor with

Rolling block 30 inch barrel
And weighing a ton
She still boots pretty well with a 515gn and 65gn of 2f
