Spartan Double Rifles - Group Buy?!?

jeffeossoSpartan Double Rifles - Group Buy?!?
Would there be ANY interest in "coaxing" remington into bringing a "special" order of the spartan 45/70s in country?
I just spoke with the general info line, and they are now "targeting 2006"
I have a call into the product manager, to discuss this. Even if he tells me "no" it's a firm interest.
Now, if they DO entertain this thought, There will be a firm delivery date.
the "rumor" is that only demos have been made, and there's not a ship full of them (that's full of SHIP ya'll)

mehulkamdarJeffeosso,
Does this have to be only in Texas? If Illinois is included, I would definitely be interested in a 45-70. Please let me know what I have to do.
Best wishes,

Count me in for a 45.70. I'll send a deposit whenever you need it. I'll just have your dealer mail it to my dealer.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Thanks.
If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

Magnum Hunter1I want in on that 450 No.2 reamer thing too. I have been mulling that over for too, too long.
16 November 2005, 06:10

SwiftShotI read the chamber pressure was to be SAMI 28 I would think the 450 would be to hot for it. Let me know that would rock.
16 November 2005, 06:27
ZekeI believe the Spartan/Remington 45/70 double is a gunstore urban myth. Propaganda everywhere. No examples. Similar to the Tucker car of the 1940's.
Remington is going to have to get a live example to Bi-Mart, Wally-World or Sportsman's Warehouse before I'll even think of buying one.
Sometimes the fit and finish of a commie gun is good, sometimes it is not. I wouldn't commit to buying one of these sight unseen.
If it is a decent gun, I'll be one of the first to get the 45/70 version. But I have to actually get one in my hands first.
This is my opinion. Your opinion may vary.
