My current unintended trapdoor collection

Not a collector of 50-70 or 45-70, but years of trading have led to this...

….more of the same, but a much better angle...

 

 

 

I'm confident the model 68 dated 68 is the rarest of the bunch. I believe it's serial #39. Have to double check.

Always wanted one of those!

I'd say your a collector of those! LOL.

I have a 45-70. I love shooting it. Its just a great old rifle, Easy to find ammo, and the joy of heaing that big slug impact! More fun than an AR-15

and its easier to clean than most shot guns....

Really beautiful. I'll have to try that "I don't collect these" line on my wife someday.
