I took my old 1885 45-70 for him to try
Full noise smokeless loads were a bit much for him
His 100 yard gong got the treatment from me

But he enjoyed shooting the 44-40 rolling block baby carbine

I am not seeing a 'E'. I am seeing 'D'. PORT. D. L ?

Greetings @ akaroa1.
There was a Thomas Porter involved in the land wars around 1870 in the East Coast area. I would have expected his rifle to be well worn though.
GPM.

I make it J. PORTER. Nice Winchester!

If the last letter is an 'R' why does it not appear the same as the middle letter that is an 'R' without doubt ?

@akaroa1...hmmm 45-70 is a cartridge that interests but I am yet to try. Would like to try the 50-110 too some day....just well....bang boom smoke....you know
