Bought one of those at a garage sale for $25 in the early 70s. It was in pieces but all there so I put it back together and shot it some. Factory loads would stretch the case bad. I bought one of the Numrich conversion kits and made it a .45-70. I think they were $125 at the time. Shoots well but I should have a pro go over it and work on the trigger pull and extractor. I ground the original extractor to work, but it ain't pretty.
