my BC is here !
« on: January 23, 2008, 11:19:47 AM »
Ok,
 after 2 months ( or more ) of questions about reaming, throating, stocks reloading, sights and recoil suppression. and after weeks of help from Tim, Stimpy, Bill and a host of other fine gentleman here, my Buffalo Classis arrived by UPS today. It even came with a dovetail insert for the front sight, not a mark on the stock or forearm. The barrel fits great to the reciever, no side to side play and the lockup is good, just enough force is required to engage the latch. I test fitted a few of the rounds i handloaded for it and they close up in the action real nicely. the barrel is an extractor, but i did notice that the crown looks different then the at the local gun shop, it has a recess groove about 1/3 the way from the rifling to the barrel edge.. other then that, it needs good cleaning..
so, thanks too all who helped out, i appreciate all the effort everyone made .. thats all i got for now

Congrats Glenn!! I don't know for sure, but H&R just started making 45-70 barrels, that may account for the change in the crown. ;)

Will be looking forward to your range report!
