Words of wisdom from Big Chief: Flush twice, it's a long way to the Mess Hall
I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
The big loop is a great idea, but the full length magazine adds weight and not a lot of functionality. 4+1 is plenty in the 45-70. The 6+1 adds forward weight that is not really needed in my opinion. I do think it looks better. You still need a mount like XS System mount.
This may sound crazy to you but the added weight of carrying six rounds only exists if you actually put six rounds in it. My 1895CB holds 9 in the magazine and in the 15 years or so that I've had it, I don't think that I've ever put more than three rounds in it at a time.
Once again, please refrain from cutting short any baseless totally emotional arguments with facts. It leads to boring, completely objective conversations well beyond the comprehension ability of many.

I'm not big on the laminate. But, I prefer the larger loop and agree that the longer tube looks better. Besides..........more bullets!
Already have one iron in the fire with the .480 Ruger in Purgatory. Once that's done, I can focus on what's next.
Just planning ahead.

I've never gotten into the age thing with Marlins. Never really been a Marlin fan other than in terms of the .45-70.
So, it doesn't really matter to me the collector value or age of said Marlin. I just want a good .45-70 platform.

On sale at Midway.
So I'm screwed. I gotta get the gun to go with the dies.
Right?
Dies and no gun? Well that's just flat out wasteful! Better order it soon
Yeah. I think I'll need a Contender Pistol barrel again. I had one once. Sold it like a fool.
It was always a possibility. It's just not high on the list. But........it IS on the list somewheee.
