So, the 45-70 is the ultimate "Curmudgeon Caliber", it would seem...

IMO, for this forum at least. ;)

Heck, I've near proudly worn the label of "curmudgeon" for years and will continue. :) And, thanks for the pic.

Also, I'd bet the 45-70 has generated more curmudgeon like hate and discontent since development then the M1 Garand has.

I had no idea. To hear folks around here go on about it, the 45-70 is one of the greatest rounds ever! I have no personal experience, so I cannot comment!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
