    Here are pictures as requested. I'm not 100% sure but the gun was given to him back when he was living in australia with the barrel cut off and some guy in wellington fitted a hawkins .45/70 barrel to it Name: 219120214_568973730938220_6347594734242410184_n.jpg Views: 204 Size: 374.6 KBName: 217569546_1254280301689249_6603495217451689680_n.jpg Views: 225 Size: 302.1 KBName: 216534495_212826657436650_6805854578817273042_n.jpg Views: 228 Size: 413.4 KB

    Welcome
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Welcome to the forum mate.
    EXCELLENT choice to begin your forum life! I too am a convert. I'm currently down this rabbit hole because A: its cheap and B: its hilarious fun shooting these.

    Tried fmj, jacketed SP/HP, monolithic, cast lead hollow base and flat based. It shoots them all well.

    Today's discovery....K&M make a freakin' 45cal mandrel. So there's an alternative to the Lee saxophone bell-end maker dies. Might work, then again it might buckle completely sideways when seating.
