The 556 was designed for 'target disable', the 45-70 for 'target stop' 😛
So great having your kids with you on that experience.
Put a rubber o-ring on the groove of the safety button.That way the safety wont get bumped on.I enjoy watching you teaching your children.
Ol' Trigger Job and his comments -" I feel weird-I don't know what I am doing...." LOL! I was expecting you to countdown 3-2-1, and TJ pull the trigger on 2.......
Good to see the boys having fun on the ranch. Great video!!
Always cool when they explain their world to you 😊
Best first shot ever ! That's the next gun on my list.
I just picked up a jm stamped marlin 1895 45-70 with factory ports. I was originally going to get one of the ruger ones...but ran into this & apparently are getting a little rare & r a little more desired. So i snatched it & absolutely love it! Love it ported!i had a regular non ported one about 10 yrs ago & i do remember it had more recoil.
Nice! It's a fun rifle to shoot and looks like a piece of art too.
We moved to Waco and had to ask about the rumbling noise to learn it was space-x. So you are not that far from Waco. Would love to come help you with some pig eliminations. Have Fun .
Love it! I got a Ruger made Marlin 1895 SBL I picked up in December of 2022. Unfortunately, I haven't even shot it yet. I'm itching for it to secure a hog on its record.
It's a fantastic rifle - I also thoroughly enjoyed using the iron sights. While I'm looking at adding some NV/Thermal optics now, I haven't decided yet what the primary setup will be.
Waidmannsheil from ol Germany! Looks like a nice rifle!
Waidmannsdank
45/70 isnt bad on recoil, not even the hot loads...
Man you are LUCKY to get your hands on the TRAPPER. I HAVE ONLY SEEN 1 since RUGER introduced them years ago, AND it was already sold!!
I had the special hookup :)
It's a masterpiece of a rifle
I'll grab my Trapper and head on down to help you with your hog issue.😉
Which ammo were you using? I found Hornady 325 to shoot real low,.
I would also like to hunt hogs with my .44 Super Redhawk
Well a 45-70 will stop a pig in it's tracks lol I can't wait to see a suppressor on it should be real nice. Love the new rifle I have a marlin lever in 30-30 from 1974 I got when I was young I love the gun.
Suppressed shooting coming soon!
would love to get my paws on one of those Ruger Marlins
How was the trigger on the 45-70. Down side of that round is the cost, but for sure fun!!!!! Ever consider putting together a sausage making video? Sausage is part of our heritage!!!!
That sausage-making video would be a catastrophe as I have never made any sausage to date. However, I did get a German book which is all about making traditional German (or European-influenced) sausage.
I just had this conversation with friends however - I need the proper facilities to do this. It drives me crazy when I don't have the right place/table/temperature/equipment to properly butcher and prepare meat. It's on my list. I'd love to have a walk-in cooler and butchering room some day.
@@TexasJAGD I think your father and grandfather could lend a wonderful hand if still with us. Believe it or not, few Texans have ever had good German sausage. I was fortunate to grow up where they only spoke German in the butcher shop and OH the smell of smoke!
nice rifle
Very cool
Dropped that hog like a hot potato.
I only live a few miles from Tinker Air Force Base and sometimes I can hear them testing jet engines that they've overhauled but the neighbor's subwoofer is much more annoying and heard more frequently.
lol Sounds like a nice guy
@@TexasJAGD He hasn't been as obnoxious with it since I called the police two weeks ago. I was hoping he blew up his subwoofer.
45-70 also works well to take down subwoofers! LOL I kid I kid. I just did a job about a year ago on the Tinker AFB for Google. Wild place.
They make a screw setup to replace that cross-bolt safety, so you can just use the hammer for the safety. Eliminates the chance of hearing 'click' instead of 'bang.'
Does it half cock?
Them turkey had some type of beef with you.
Coooool
I love mine. I would rather shoot my 45/70 than my 270. It's just more fun. I even put my night scope on it because I feel the bullet will be in the dirt at 200 yards and where visibility may be limited, this is an additional safety measure.
If only the ammo wouldn't be so damn expensive 😔
@@TexasJAGD Owning one is the primary reason I ventured into repacking my cartridges. Reloading saves me quite a bit. The straight brass also allows to reload more times because of less stresses of not being "necked down." Too bad the Lever Magic or whatever those Hornady rounds are called can't be re packed. I have never been told why we can't bUt that is the common thought. Yes, it is pricey and I feel your pain. Watching the rich boys blow though round after round makes my
head spin.
Not sure I’ve ever seen a lever action with a safety. I like it!
When marlin sold out the new owners put the hammer safety on them but like marlin use to say if it dont have a gold trigger its not a true marlin
So you didn't even shoot it to get used to it or to see if it was on sight? If not that's pretty good to take a rifle out the box load it and one shot one kill.
The rifle and I just had a pretty intense talk right after I took it out of the box. We joked around a bit, told old hunting stories, aligned expectations... we had a good time.
What was the last thing that went through your mind as you were swinging your bang stick around just before your funeral?
A 45-70 projectile?
I have to wonder why they chose to call this model of rifle a "trapper"? My father was a trapper and I was a trapper, my brother was a trapper and I've known many members of the Colorado Trappers Association. We never carried a 45/70 on any trap line. The goal is to sell the pelts of the animals you catch so you want them in the best condition possible. A .22 lr is the rifle you carry and if you're concerned about safety a nice large caliber handgun. Weight is always a factor because many times you have to check the trap line on snow shoes. So mostly a handgun isn't even carried.
👍👍
Maybe try solar powered cameras
So you went hunting with a rifle you never shot before or checked the zero .
I can hear the judgement spooling up. Yes I did.
I prefer to use an RPG.
