Historical firearms, Winchester 45-70
Had a 45-70 pistol grip Winchester (the big boy of Winchester rifles) across my knees today. Teddy Roosevelt had one. Pretty rare version of the gun that won the west. The walnut crotchwood pistol grip stock was pretty magnificent. A friend of mine is a collector of militaria, carriage mounted Gatlin, several cannons and so on. Next time I visit I'll get a chance to hold one of Buffalo Bill Cody's Winchester rifles.  Cool stuff.
