The 45-70-405 (45 caliber/70 grains of powder/405 grain bullet) trap door rifle. An early breech block rifle, used by the Army. originally the brass cartridges were developed for Black Powder. Modern 45/70 should never be used in a trap door. CPT Aaron Kletzing SGM Matthew Quick 1LT Sandy Annala SGT (Join to see) PFC Kyle Corcoran 1SG (Join to see) 1LT (Join to see) 1SG John Mohon

I picked up a H&R Buffalo Classic in 38-55 a couple of years ago. Never fired, still had the H&R tag on it. 38-55 not so easy to find any more. I have been told it was John Wayne's favorite round., but I have found nothing to confirm that.

Another one of my favorite old-time rifles. One of my long-term goals is to one day use an original to participate in the annual Quigly Shoot up in Montana.
