Sort of on topic. Afterall it started out as a black powder cartridge. My newly acquired toy: a .45-70 double rifle by Baikal imported by Remington.
Can't wait to shoot it this weekend.

Ho wow! Neat. How much does that cannon weigh?

Actually Semi it ain't heavy at all. Probably in the neighborhood of 7 - 7 1/2 lb. I bought it more as a remembrance. It was my cousin's who recently passed away. His brother asked if there were any guns I wanted to buy before his wife puts them to auction. I wanted several but couldn't afford them all. I picked this one cause I thought it was really different. I had shot it last year up at the cabin and put two bullets side by side offhand at 40 yds.

Very nice rifle. I am sure it will give you much pleasure.
