Don't piss into the wind
The only government I trust is 45-70 Government!
Well when this happened, it was in March. Pandemic central. I called the Canadian warranty center. They told me to e-mail a request for a new magazine tube to make it official (with the purchase receipt). I did, and the very next day they closed until further notice. After 6 weeks they re-opened and I contacted them again and they promptly sent me the tube. I didn't call the USA HQ.
I had one of their .22 lever actions and the rifling was all chattered, very disappointed ended up selling it. Considering what you pay for these things quality should be nothing less than superb. Most guns these days have undesirable quality issues. Would be considered junk by historical standards.
I love the sound that a law makes when I break it!
My 45-70 now has 80 rounds through it and recoil is MUCH heavier than 44mag. No troubles to speak of... Will keep a keen eye on this. Did they increase the tube gauge on the 45-70??
