'76s-you can tell by looking at the wrist of the stock; the receiver on a '73 extends noticeably further down into the wrist when compared to a '76. Great picture!

Funny, the cartridges in their belts look too long for a '76, almost like they might be 45-70s.

Don'tcha love those hob-nail boots? '76s for sure and prob'ly 45-75, maybe 45-60. Anyway a lot of gun for ducks.

Well Shrapnel is using a 45/70 for gophers. Just a case of using what you have with you, when the opprotuinity presents itself.
