I didn't read all the posts, but I don't think anyone came up with the real Kings of the rifle world.
Top one is a Model 1884 Springfield, 45-70, commonly known as the Trapdoor. This was the US Military rifle in the late 1800s. This rifle has been in the family since the mid 1930s, is complete with bayonet and a mint barrel. In the past it has blown factory loaded 405 grain jacketed bullets through elk.
Bottom one is a Remington Rolling Block, in 43 Egyptian. This is a rare one, because most of the production of this model went to some South American country and was handled around like cordwood, in short, all bashed up and rusted. This one too, has a mint barrel and only minor marks. It is rare, because it apparently was never delivered to any country, since it has no markings of any country on it, other than manufacture. That accounts for its good condition.

Nice picture! Looks like the snow is finally retreating, work with a few guys from Vanderhoof, PG and Huston who said the damn stuff just wouldn't leave this year. You gonna draw blood with that nice .44?
Oh yeah if you get the itch to ditch it give me a PM here or on HBC

My marlin .44mag loves 240gr HornadyXTP's and H110. Come to think of it my marlin .357 also loves XTP's (158gr's) and H110.
Come to think of it my marlin .357 also loves XTP's (158gr's) and H110.I ordered Speer 270gr Gold dots, but if they dont show by the time my dies arrive, I'll try the 240gr XTP's
Will cast boolits for wheel weights or gas checks...two .44 cal (265gr. and 310gr) molds on hand...The 265gr is a RanchDog mold designed for the Marlin .44 mag and .444 Marlin...
