Ain't that the truth. Nonetheless, when I go to the range, everyone wants to look at my M1 Garands. Otherwise, everyone is shooting black guns. Occasionally, there will be an old timer shooting a wood stocked bench rest 22LR rifle.
Always wanted the Ruger No. 1 in 45-70, but that door is closed. Hope someone buys it - worth every penny.

Thanks for the bump to the top; I will probably just strip it for parts now.....

Sadly IMHO that just shows young kids aren’t too bright

no kidding. i have a ruger #1 that turned out to be a frankengun some Ahole here sold without disclosing that fact. i'd love to have the real deal like this 45-70 but bidenomics has about cleaned me out.
