Yeah, Telly, back about 25 years ago I got one of the #3s that some guy had bought, fired 10 rounds, and sold off cheap. You guessed it, a .45-70....OWWW!
I'd fired one before, so I had it relined to .25-20 and found it a great small game gun too. Lost it in the 1980s recession, just like lots of guys are losing great guns now....selling off your guns to pay the essentials SUCKS, but when you have a family, you do what you have to. At least I've always been able to hang onto my "family guns"!
