This one's Enzo's fault!!

Big Al1

A while back in another post he mentioned the Tom Selleck movie Cross Fire Trail!! After watching the movie I had fallen in lust with Brad Davis's rifle, a full stock Winchester carbine. But to my avail. none to be had. Then I watched Tom Horn with the King of Cool, Steve McQueen, and he used the 28" rifle version. Found one on GB!!
Happy dance!!








.45-60 next to a .45-70

It basically a stretched out 1873. I already had .45-70 brass, so all I had to do was trim it a bit. 300 gr cast bullet. I have a tang sight for it, just waiting for proper mounting screws. Heading to the range Friday!! Other calibers were .45-75 and 50-95, but they are made from either .348 or .50-100 cases, neither of which are readily available, so the .45-60 was a no brainer!!

Great movie! So good the inaccuracy is forgiven.

That's my final word on this matter......

I think I might hate you a little...

very nice! I was just looking at the same rifle at my LGS a couple weeks ago but I'm holding out for a 50-95 It may be a long wait!!

I blame Enzo for almost everything I do that she considers wrong.. My wife thinks he's a terrible influence. I hope they never meet and compare notes.

I called Cimarron and they didn't expect any new rifles in the country for at least a year!!

Probably take that long to find brass anyway.  One of Junkcollectors haunts has or had one in 45-75 (I think) a while back.

I've read an authentic account of someone using a 73' chambered in 45/75 to supply elk and enforce law. A 1 of 1,000 model IIRC..

I had one of the full stocked ones on my watch list on GB for months, and the money never managed to come together.  I hate you… enough said… 🤬🤬🤬

I’m pretty sure I have your phone number tucked away somewhere.  So what’s me not making this phone call worth to you? 😈

ojr

It's times like these that I'm proud to share with you all my immense pride in my future step Father.

Very nice Uberti. Range test please!

Oh, that's Enzo's fault too!!

Wow!!!! Great score!

JunkCollector

I like it AL 
The one I looked at was 45-60 as well.
I think it was  Stoeger/ Uberti IIRC.

I'll join you at the range today.

I think most of us can blame Enzo for something.  He's a born enabler.

GunNut

I’m feeling a bit picked on!  Where’s the HR department in this joint?!?!? 🤣

Physically or mentally? 
Just found out you were interested in one....thought that was incredibly fast even for me.

Supposedly a mirror bore too.
