Okay all you cowboy action shooting fans. Have I got a question for you.

Is the Thompson Contender Carbine in 45/70 legal in the long range side matches?

It is a rifle, with a hammer that shoots the 45/70 cartride.

What are you opinions. I have been told yes, no, and maybe.

I know it is not in the spirit of the game but then neither is 357/38 calibers. Or rifles that fire 45 Colt.

Thanks Judge Blackhawk
