Re: Stolen firearms

Likely stolen by someone who didn't know what they stole, sold to someone who didn't care they were stolen or know what they were, then resold again to someone who didn't know what they were either. Probably someone's hunting rifle, standing in a closet somewhere.

Re: New-to-me Beretta .45-70 Double Rifle

I've punched out two .45-70's to .45-90. Unless you're shooting black powder, there's no point to it.

In the long run, I regretted both of them.

I had a 45 colt 94AE with a H-U-G-E chamber. But the only thing it shot worth a darn were 300gr JHP's pushed with a charge of W296 that I would never repeat in public. The brass held up just fine, large as it was. (of course the huge chamber probably helped with pressures as well)
