anyone that wouldn't love that fine weapon, doesn't have a heart beat. that is just too cool.

Many years ago I saw where some one had done or was doing that, converting double shotguns to double rifles. Very pretty, and quite special, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Do you know how the .45-70 barrels were constructed from the 16ga barrels? Pic suggests sleeving the barrels with inserts but could be new rifle barrels fitted to cut off receiver.

The barrels are sleeved with sleeves made from Springfield 45-70 barrels.

I've heard it's not what but who you know. You were slow to start but moving up fast... nice buy.

I've heard it's not what but who you know. You were slow to start but moving up fast... nice buy. Somewhat of a "left handed" compliment. "What" you know doesn't mean squat if the "who" you know won't release the goods. It's a crap shoot for all of us. Never buy a gun that you have to defend. This particular gun is extremely unique in many ways. What makes it better is that most of us know the provenance behind it. In this case I bought the story as well as the gun.
