Just ordered my 1895G

I have a used 1895G coming within the week.  Now all I need are some dies.

Cherokee,

Did your 45/70 come in, have you shot it, do you like it?

Let us know how it shoots!

You might want to pick up a 45-70 neck size die as well. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=193916 I checked on Midsouth but they didn't have any listed on their site. I use my neck sizer all the time for my Marlin.

FWIW

I picked it up yesterday but it is minus the rear sight; damaged in shipping.  Gander Mnt. has one on order for me which they are replacing for free.  I am going to purchase the reloading supplies over the near future.

cherokee75,
     I used to have a 1895 22" 45/70 and I would suggest you look at gunbroker for the purchase of brass.  I was amazed at how much cheaper it was to pick up hundreds of once fired used brass online for about half the price than new brass, if not better.  I just wanted to tell you that little tid bit in case you're interested.  If I ever got another 45/70, I know I get my brass there.
