I've been thinking about getting a 45-70 for some time. I think I'm going with the Henry. I was thinking also of getting a cowboy gun like a Henry .357 mag so I can shoot .38's as well and in my Blackhawk.

That's a good deal.

Personally I like the 35 Whelen over 45-70. I sold my 35 Whelen Remington 700 classic bolt action a few years ago as my Elk hunting large game had pretty much dwindled because of work travel. Miss that sucker.

This is a 22 AR style rifle that I bought about five years ago when I could buy a box of 550 rounds at Walmart for $20. It's a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22. The only building I did was adding the extras which I list down below. It comes complete for about $400, I got it for about $300 new about five years ago. It's big brother Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport .556 is about $700 complete.

In this photo I show the bi-pod, but I usually don't have it on the rifle in case I need to grab it quick but it attaches very fast if needed.

I keep it in the trunk of my car, I figured if someone starts doing a massacre I want to be ready. I have a concealed weapons permit in Florida, but that's not even necessary in Florida to have this in your trunk with ammo. I store it in a Drago Soft Rifle Case 36" double, cost about $70 about 5 years ago.

Since I want to be ready, I have 11 magazines 25 rounds each. One is on the buttstock and ten more are in a split front vest. These mags retail for $20, I picked up most from CDNN Sports in Texas for $16, that's their normal price and the last two from GunMag Warehouse in Miami for $12 each, they had a big sale.

MP-22s are nice. I have one with a Sparrow suppressor on it and I can hear the pin strike and nothing else with subsonic ammo.

Probably one of the funnest guns I own.

Thanks! He makes a very fine rifle. The one a got to look at close and handle was his Quigley model in 45/110. The craftsmanship put into it was exquisite.

Bwana getting the ATV ready :D

I see he still hasn't hooked up the cooler trailer yet.

I think Marlin also makes a 45-70 lever action and there's another manufacture that makes a real cool one... I can't think of the name now...

Quick question. A good friend of mine sold me an antique 1958 browning a-5 light 12 shot gun for like $200, thing is prestine. He told me he had it appraised at over $2,000.00 like 5-6 years ago. He's like 86 years old and he told me it's only been shot a few times. How do I get this appraised from a trustworthy source? Should I keep it? I'm thinking about selling it to finance getting an ar-15, a mossberg 590 and a glock 22 gen 4 and some ammo lol

I have one given to me by my grandpa. It's a 60's model I believe. Last I checked, it was worth in the $700 range. I could be wrong though. Been awhile since I looked.

Reporting for duty.

I gave in to the dark side and picked up a Windham Weaponry AR-10 this weekend. 16.5" medium tube, weighs 7.5lbs without sights or magazine. Sights, and a few rounds in the magazine gets it over 8lbs but still lighter than most I've seen. Never had shot a AR style rifle that actually had noticeable recoil until now. I Like It.
