that black rail looks so out of place.

I'd take one too.

I have no use for it in reality .45 -70 but I find the scheme modern yet nostalgic

.45-70 Gov't?

I want a 10/22 and do something similar to this.

Yes it's a Marlin 1895 SBL

The .45-70 Gov't is a great rd. I have loaded for it from a Trapdoor of my fathers, a Sharps Replica that I had, to a Winchester 1886 re-intro that I let go to a bud that returned home from A-stan that would not take no for an answer. I still would like a rifle in the caliber, and have thought of a NEF for a knock-a-round hunter or the Marlin like above. Might be overkill here in OK, but I do have brass and some 405 gr lead bullets poured for it.

I dig the carbon wrapped brls on the 10/22.

I guess it's still considered a guide gun

they need to make more really cool 22s. M4 style, the GSG AK and MP5, and a sig mosquito/p22 that doesn't require minimags.

10/22 what rifle is that
