The video is very funny. Isn't the 'non-shootable Teddy' supposed to have something in it?

Well, I have a 45-70 Handi, a BC stock set, also a Carbine fore end.  Hmmm.
Looks like maybe a project for me. ;)

One of my 22" 45-70 Handis with a complete BC stock set, H&R chipped the stock and replaced it, so I cut the damage off and added a Limbsaver pad, WGRS and firesight, it looks better with the shorter BC carbine forend (or a TDC forend), but it wasn't available at the time, they didn't come out until 2007.

Mike,

Thanks for the giggle - loved the Teddy Bear Hunting video - suggest a remake with the non-shootable Teddy occupied!  Great trigger guard mod and love the Baikal Combigun!!!
