Even if that was the case, a guy would be dragging not one, but, two 45-70 rifles along on his squirrel hunt.
Who does that?
I can picture needing a .32 rifle of some sort. I can picture needing a 45-70 rifle. I can’t really picture needing both, much less two 45-70 barrels with the small round, on the same trip.
Most Europeans would have been prohibited from a rifle that featured a government loading, which, the 45-70 is. I couldn’t understand that thinking 30 years ago, when I was actively importing guns from Europe, and while I suspect things may have changed, it was a thing even then.
How did they get around it, in this case?
Best,
Ted
