RE: Potential 45-70 used for buffalo

According to Labowski's letter the rifle was shipped in May of 1878 to Collins/Petty in Omaha. Hmm I'd a thought the Buff hunting in that part of the west ( Republican River country) was pretty much done by then.? From the reading I've done most of the 45-70 killed buffalo were shot by users of the 73 Springfield aka needle gun. bobw
