50-70 Nef

[RicinYakima]

I have a Schuetzen Arms RB on an original Remington rolling block and a new CSA Hunters Rifles in 50/70. My range uses 1 1/2 inch uprights for the target backers with heavy cardboard to staple the targets. Ten shot with the 50/70 will break the uprights. How much more power do you need?

Hey Kevin that looks fine to my old eyes. Who can write it was never done before....
Plus it is back to shooting which far outshines waiting for those affordable replacements to turn up.

Thank you! And it has harvested deer. It was what I could do at that time.

Besides, life is too short to shoot ugly guns!

50-90
We have several 50-70's... I know what they are capable of with a 450 grain. But I see no "ol Shaggy's" about.. a few Datsuns though.
But a 50-90 slinging a 350 grainer sure shoots flat. And if I need to down load there are all sorts of wads I can add to fill up the case.
We have a 50-95 repro 76 we shoot 350's out of. Would make an excellent big corn cruncher rifle except it it so dog-gone heavy to me to be lugging about hills. But a Roller with a 28 (or so) inch tube... That would be a fine friendly feller to have along.

Here is my Model 1866 Second Allin Conversion. I found the barreled @ction only among Pop’s things after he passed. Restoring it with original parts would have cost a pile of one hundred dollar bills, that I did not have. So, when the replica Mississippi rifle with a crap barrel showed up…

I like it a lot! I can even imagine a scenario where some old western "gunsmith" could have cobbled together just such a combination when someone showed up at his shop draggin the Allin conversion in with a busted stock looking for a scavenged 1861 Springfield stock. The old smith says, "Well I ain't got one, but.... I do have this old musket with a bad barrel." "By the way, you ain't in the market for one of them cartridge firin' revolvers are ya?"

That was my way of thinking. Besides, the Allin’s were all converted muskets. My version is just more of the same theme.

I see you noticed that Richards conversion!
