There is a 45/70 handgun in the display at Cabelas that may be the one? But I also heard of a 45/70 that was fairly accurate and well built and one he had that was not. As for the people that hounded him for stuff thats very true, can you imagine losing your father and have non-stop calls from people that want something? As for one of these people....He is a very well known musician and so was his father, Nuff said? (I don't want to say too much or step outa bounds) Don
