I've been to Lewis arms. Very nice shop. Not real large but no junk, only Excellent condition and higher end guns.
He used to be the "House" gunsmith at NH's largest gun store, he set up for himself.
Getting there is impossible with out good directions   I grew up in that area and I have to think hard about how to get there

every one that has a shilo raves about them.

Tom, you forget where I live, I would love a gatling gun however  %$#^%#& politicians ruined that for us.

I actually was thinking about getting one of the H&R Handi Rifles single shot types, with a rail on it.
Lever in 45/70 or a .44 doesnt really interest me, I have a few levers and they are adequate, I just want a big banger thats not going to cost an arm and a leg.  But I agree there are lots of different types of 45/70's about, but I like being different :-)

At $45.000 with only a one year warranty, I don't think the Pols would cause the biggest problem.  You're married right ?

Cheers fellas!
BTW rastus what brand you go for?

Marlin in the 450.  Rifle, not carbine.  I love it but after I put 5 or 6 rounds downrange that is all I want of the beast.

Hehehe need a good kick pad huh
I find it painful after letting a few fully loaded teeth rattlers in .44's when I use my rossi 92, not so bad when go jumper on but in summer and only wearing a tee shirt that bloody metal crescent butt plate starts leaving a dent in my shoulder. For the life of me I cant work out why they dont have an option for a standard stock, historically correct be damned their are no heads to crack open with them at the range........well most of the time

Buy a pachmyer strap on shoulder pad. Mine is ancient, but I think it was like $30 back in the day. It is money well spent. It made the difference between fun and self abuse if I wanted to shoot 5 rounds of skeet or run through a couple of boxes of .270. Manliness be damned. The manly guys were the ones with the technicolor shoulders.

I suggest the 45-70, lots of rifle choices, componets and load data availabe.  You can load from mild to wild.

I have some friends with Marlins in 45-70 and they swear by the Limbsaver brand butt pads.
