Buffalo Classic SB-1 or 2
« on: December 20, 2012, 09:04:34 PM »
Always learning.  In the H&R on line catalog it shows the Buffalo Classic (CR 1871)with a  case colored receiver.  Doesn't say its a  SB1 or SB2 receiver.  It shows a Handi rifle  in the catalog with a blued receiver and in the specs lists the model as a SB2 45-70 Govt.  Saw a Buffalo Classic for sale on Gun Broker with very good photo of the barrel.  It was marked H&R 1871 Buffalo Classic 45-70 Govt.  also had a case colored receiver.  Question, can I use full power 45-70 loads in a Buffalo Classic rifle?  Regards, Piney Creek ???

Yes, the BC frame is the same SB2 frame as the Handi-rifle, it just has faux case coloring instead of blueing.
