Better check state regulations because its not legal in Missouri as the regs are currently written. Its also classified as a CF rifle so it has to go through a FFL. When you add up the cost per shot why not just get a 45/70 break action converted to a ML. Shoot for much less per shot and get much better speed. For about $600 or less you can get a CVA 45/70 converted. It will smoke that $500+ nitro thing to hell and back.
Not trying to argue because it doesn't interest me in the least but what would make it illegal in Mo?
Are you talking illegal in regular firearms season or just our alternative season?
