Guess what I just ordered...

[Rifletom]

Well RR, hope you can locate one. Great looking rifle. Now I know why you been loading the bejabbers out of those .45 Colt rounds! . Shrewed indeed.

[RanchRoper]

Might be a pistol grip available at Taylors. He is checking..

If not will order from Italy and wait probably. Or buy an iron frame Henry....haha

now you're talking ...

Gun research and pursuit stories are most interesting. The plot thickens!!!

[RanchRoper]

The latest is Cimarron is checking with the factory to see if there is one they can get special order. If not my dealer will go through Taylors.
Either way it's a wait but will be worth it. Maybe mid summer if lucky.

I bet they could find you one in a 45-70. Since you are loading now no reason not to get you a big ole cowboy gun.

that would give you some strong medicine for the big bears you have in your part of the country ..

I hear ya, but I'll stick with 45 Colt.

Cimarron will get back to me in a day or so, they are checking with the factory to see what's available, more importantly if they can import one. I'm told Taylors can still order, so that's plan B. A little more dough cuz my guy is a Cimarron dealer not Taylors. Taylors website shows stock but they actually don't have one apparently.
Anyhow, we'll see what happens. I'll line something up sooner or later. There are lots of 45-70's around, but I have 2 bad shoulders now so don't need to make them worse.

Well understood!!

RR, I do understand about wanting to stay with the 45 Colt. Yeah, a 45-70 CAN be loaded down to be a mild shooter, but it's still going to be an expensive cartridge to reload. Hang in there for a 45 Colt, even if it takes awhile.
