Hi Michael!
Have you taken it to the range already, and what were the results?
The fact that the Garand is forbidden in .at is really the silliest gun law we have here (and we have a lot).
Best wishes

Only a test fire. I'll do a distance test in a few weeks.

Re: My new toys
This is an 1878 Springfield, firing a full power .45-70 cartridge. All you .30 cal poodle shooters can go home.
Can't wait to shoot it.

Re: My new toys
I didn't know 1878 Springfields had case hardened breech blocks, looks great!
And those who expected lightning and thunder
Are disappointed
And those who expected signs and archangels' trumps
Do not believe it is happening now

My daughter with her 1916 Smith & Wesson Second Model Hand Ejector. It was a WWI British contract (Enfield and Broad Arrow marked) piece in .455 Webley, later converted to .45 Long Colt.

Re: My new toys
My friend Snappy McFly made this for me from what looks like Texas Chert, river cane, turkey feathers, sinew and pine resin.
It took him about 30 minutes from stick, rock, feathers and lump of resin to finished product.
