Barbwire Bill, SASS #661

Any comments on who makes the best replica? H&R, Uberti?

I am looking for a Trapdoor Springfield in 45-70 that can shoot modern ammo. I was wondering what is better. I am looking at H&R or maybe one of the Italian replicas. Any advice? Who makes be best one? Thanks BB

These are great photos. I remember many of these pard’s I wish SASS would digitize all the old Cowboy Chronicles into a set of DVD’s. There are some great stories and wonderful pictures in those old issues. I still have all of mine.

I saw them at SHOT as well. Nice looking gun. Didn't get a lot of info, but the guy I talked with said they were made out of bar stock, so no cast frame. He also indicated a lower price than Colt but he may not have know for sure. I hope they can produce a good product at a decent price. Always looking for an excuse to buy more guns. I would like to see Capt Baylor do a review of this and the rolling block that Tippman has out.
