Lol agreed ob - the masochism is running thick and strong around here. Meanwhile I’m heading in the opposite direction!!
At what point does lack of maintenance become patina?

A good mate of mine has 12 firearms including a 45/70 and 30-06 pump...
The 45/70 - whilst a great fun gun - comes out of his safe maybe once a year...if that. It doesn’t really do anything better (or close to) than a more conventional rifle. Its like an artillery trajectory curve with 400+ gns
Tikka .260 (Z5 5x25/52)
Steyr Pro Varmint .223 - VX 3
CZ455 .22 & Norinco .22 (vtex 4-12, bush 3-9)
ATA 686 U/O 12g & Baikal S/S 12g.
Adler a110 reddot
Sauer 30-06 - VX 3
Howa 300 win mag. SHV 5-20/56
Marlin SBL 45/70

The WW2 88mm anti tank gun is an artillery piece and with a muzzle velocity of 2,700 fps it shoots flatter than a 30/06 shooting heavier pills.

Your mate needs to get out and enjoy his 45/70 some more. It is great at poking big holes in things.
