I was shown a gun this weekend and for the life of can not remember the manufacture. It was an old gun and I do remember it had "45-70 shot" stamped on it and was smooth bore. As weird as it sounds I want to say it was a H&R but very well could be wrong. Anyway a young Amish man had the gun and was going to shoot regular 45-70 rifle bullets through it and the concerned me a little and i wanted to try and find out a little about this gun and if it was safe to do so. Has anyone on here heard of this or have any knowledge about this firearm?
