45-70 backfire

Firing my Trapdoor Cavalry Carbine at the range in the pouring rain. This hurt like all hell. Got it right on the bone.

Were you using hot loads by chance? Stock loads should have been no issue. Just wondering, as I have a Model 1873 from around 1892 and I have not had this happen. Yet.

@reno145 i was using cowboy loads. shows u what a piece of shit H&R made

No shooting glasses.......Yea, Real smart guy.

I'm gonna bet the round used in that rifle was for a lever action and too "hot" for that gun. I only use goes 405 grain black powder rounds in my trapdoors.

@MMSMikey think he means you should always where saftey glass and your lucky that you did'ent lose an eye.

I have an original .45-70 Springfield U.S. Army issue Cavalry Carbine, and it's a sweet piece.

I hope you had a good hunting season this year , I sure did .

[MrGuitars8]

About that rifle I was talking about , if you buy a gun from a store it has serial numbers on it so it can be traced to its owner , the custom rifle rifle I was talking about doesn't have any serial numbers of any kind on it at all . If someone were to use it for a crime how could you trace it ? I looked this rifle over more than once and there are no serial numbers at all . So how is it a legal rifle ?

The guy at your job is an idiot. You don't need any papers. If you don't know guns, sounds like you don't, get the 270 checked out by a gunsmith. He won't call the cops I promise. Here is a quick way to a make a few bucks. Tell your friend to put his money where is mouth is. Bet him fifty bucks that he is a liar. You put up fifty and have someone you trust to hold the 100. Take the gun to a gunsmith and have it checked out. Then you get his fifty and it pays the smith and then some

@MMSMikey I have a number of H&R rifles, two in 45-70, and they are all tack drivers. It's a poor sportsman that blames his rifle. I am willing to bet money that the round fired in that trapdoor was loaded for a Marlin 1895 rifle. The 1895 is a cowboy rifle and the round for it is way to hot for a trapdoor.
