Do you handload 45-70 rounds? Supposedly you can load them past 4,000 lb-ft muzzle energy, but factory loads are light so they don't blow up old guns.
Yes, homebrew 45-70 can be mean....just don't use em in an old trapdoor or the likes.
We loved loading that 1871 up with a real stout load and destroying stuff at the range.
Our secret load was launching a 350 grain projo at 2300 fps, for around 4100 ft lbs muzzle energy.
Guys with the Ruger Number 1 can go a fair bit hotter still, for real shoulder bruising.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully the future brings better things for you,
Yeah, it really stinks to have to do that kind of thing, but a guy's gotta feed the family.

Truth is I only miss the guns when I look at the pics, so I guess I didn't need em very much.

Nothing in my gun safe kicks harder than my 12 guage BPS’s with 3 1/2” magnums. I have three of them each with their own purpose and love every damn one of em.
I have a Ithaca Mag 10 auto , one of my favorite, and yes she’ll let you know who’s boss , Lol

I suppose my Henry .45-70 single shot is my strongest punkin slinger, as I understand it is rated for the same loads as the Marlin 1895 and Winchester 1886. I just stick with Unique powered Trapdoor level loads.

On the topic of bore size and destructive devices: being over .50 caliber doesn't automatically classify a gun as DD. In general, if a gun was designed as a sporting arm in the first place it is not DD. For example, a .600 NE double rifle. If the gun was designed originally as a military arm then it is usually classed as DD. For example, Boyes and Lahti anti-tank rifles, most mortars and artillery pieces.

I’ve found the limbsaver recoil pads tame these pumps fairly well. I like choate pistol grip stocks on the turkey guns. They eliminate cheek slap which can be very brutal. Lol

Most if not all are going to be for sale. My FFL guy is $20 for the transfer fee's. Which is AT COST of the paperwork from the US. Government. Reason is my father passed away. And I want to sell the guns my one Uncle is trying to steal from his now dead brother. If it wasn't for my other Uncle, no one would believe me that my other Uncle would be doing this. My father was a gun loving, God fearing lifetime NRA member. Death sucks and I don't even wish it on my POS Uncle, but it's even worse family memener can't even act like a decent human being. If he would've asked, I wouldn't gladly given him anything he wanted. Not asking for pitty! Just explaining why I am posting these. I DO believe most of the members on here are very good if not better human beings than the public at large. That being said and out of the way, here is a handful of others from his collection. There's a Mossberg Anniversary 30-06, View attachment 443972View attachment 443972View attachment 443973View attachment 443974View attachment 443975View attachment 443976Panzer AR12, Radical Arms 5.56, couple Kimbers, Para, Beretta, Browning HI point, etc....
Browning Hi point! I never liked Hi point as they are generally cheap, I will go $20 plus ffl and shipping.

I hope you at least got good money on those Marlins. If I lost my job or had to take a big pay cut I would probably be selling my arsenal too.
They all brought good retail prices, thankfully.....the auction company definitely delivered on the whole sale.
It was a real blessing, it's given my time to get pointed in a better direction with business, and hopefully better financial days will follow.

You were shooting a 350 grain slug at 2300 fps out of a Trapdoor? That's very close to .458 Winchester power level, you used up more than a lifetime supply of divine protection!
