This is a manly gun: the .45-70 Revolver... I once had one to go with my .45-70 1886 Winchester Rifle...
fun shooter. Course, you walked with a limp if'n you carried in a holster...
I also had one of these to go with my .45-70 Revolver... also neat and fun to shoot, a bolt action rifle, with a tubular magazine and a hammer, that loaded through the butt plate:
1880 Remington Keene .45-70 Carbine
Mine was nickel plated with Indian Police markings, very rare. I bought it from The Bandito Gun Shop in Weimar, CA, on Interstate 80, just east of Auburn. I paid about $450 for it in the mid 1970s. Mine was really a pristine gun.
