Mr. MLV,
Back on 20 OCT 03 you mentioned you had on order a "...Military style rifle (not carbine).... .45-70". This sounds interesting. If you will permit, did you order a Carbine with the 24" barrel? Unless we are missing something, the only Military Rifle our 2004 catalog lists is an 1863 Model. Please advise.
Thank you.

No, it will be the full length military style rifle with 30 inch barrel and .45-70 caliber. Its not in the catalog, but since they have the stocks and furniture for them because of the 1863 Model, they can put together a cartridge version without much trouble. Its supposed to be ready this spring.

BearbaitII,

If I'm not mistaken, the 1874 military rifle comes in the same caliber choices as the carbine; 50/70, 45/70, 40/65 and 30/40.

I have a farmingdale military rifle in 45-70 and just love it. Bought it from an ex RCMP officer who picked it up in his travels. I put a marbles tang site on it and have had a lot of fun with it. Kevin
