I just bought an H&R Inc 45-70 Trapdoor Black Powder Rifle - NEW - at a gun show.
It has never been fired from what I can tell by looking at it.
That company went out of business in 1987 from what I can glean off the Internet.
In business for 115 years - Worcester, Massachusetts.
Wonder why ?
A big 'P' on left side of receiver and on the underside of the butt end of the stock.
???????
Is/was this a good rifle ?
I am wondering if I can Paper Patch for that caliber ?
