I’m sorry. RIP
Was thinking about .45-70 just this morning. Our condolences. Will miss the wit and wisdom.
Well, that was like a kick in the guts
Oh, no. I’m so sorry to hear this. I’ll miss his comments. 🙁
RIP, my friend.
My prayers are for him and his family.
And us
O LORD, support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the Evening comes, the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, in Thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, a Holy rest and lasting Peace. Amen.
RIP He and his loved ones are in my prayers.
I will miss his wit.
RIP
.45-70, you are missed. My heart is sad for our loss.
RIP, .45-.70. Condolences to family and friends. A man of his caliber is a great loss. I hope he doesn’t mind the double entendre. 🙂 He was a great asset to this site.
Also hope I’ve been here long enough to comment.
will fire off a few rounds of .45-70 at sunset in honor…
.45-70, what a great caliber. Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord. And may the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace. Amen.
Godspeed, .45-70. Will miss you, your comments and your vote in 2020.
A huge loss to the IOTW community; RIP.
Our hearts go out to his family
I’m gonna send a .45-70 round down range in my 1885 highwall at sunset tonight. If 20 more people join in the fun….well, you know where I’m going with this….
OK…Earnet T Bass is in….19 more to go….LOL….
He was a stranger to me – except for here – where I was getting to know and and enjoy him. Eternal bliss to a straight shooter – and a straight thinker.
He, his screen name, and his comments all of great caliber.
Our loss. Heaven’s gain.
With sympathy to all who loved you.
Rest in Peace, no pain, no sorrow.
You are in the Arms of our Father.
Prayers for your Family and Friends.
May all their memories of you be a comfort.
Greet us as we arrive.
“Oh, all the comrades that e’er I had
They’re sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e’er I had
They’d wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I’ll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all”

Very sad news. Rest in peace, my friend. And may God watch over your family.
Well, that is sad news. All my troubles seem to have gone away for now. Enjoyed his comments and just knowing he was out there as a IOTW friend.
My 1884 Springfield Trapdoor is a 45-70 willysgoatgruff so there’s another gun for salute.
.45-70 was a rare and unique caliber of man.
Sniff sniff…………..
RIP .45-70. You’ll be missed. 🙁
eternal peace be with you
💌
Sad news. I know he had great reverence for his wife. I’m sure he’s smiling down at us now with her at his side. Shine on friend.
RIP reports about iotwR members are repeating to often for my taste.
Sorry to read about .45 – 70’s passing.
His spirit will carry on with those who follow the path…
Deepest condolences to his family here and at home.
I’m so sorry!
May he Rest In Peace.
Dang, he was a good and decent man.
I shall miss him
Always sad to lose such a fine person.
RIP Buddy, Liked Your Comments and Your Screen Name…Both the
Caliber reference, and the Donald Trump reference.
God speed.
R.I.P.
Excuse my ignorance.was 45-70 bad-brad.? I am very sorry for the loss and prayers for all his family.
Sad news for us here. I’m sure we will all meet again someday in our Father’s kingdom. God speed!
Excuse my ignorance.was 45-70 bad-brad.? >>
No. Bad Brad is in self-imposed exile.
So sorry to hear this.
Rest in peace brother.
This is bad news! RIP Mr. .45-70.
OK….Dan Ryan Galt is in. 18 more to go or do us 3 just need to shoot more?…..I’m good either way….LOL….
Rest in peace Patriot. Condolences and prayers for the family and friends he leaves behind,
.45-70: I’m gonna miss you, your wit and insight, in this, my new-found IOTW family. Enjoy your place in Glory and your loved ones who awaited you there. I look forward to meeting you, at that day.
Please, oh Lord, bestow your peace, love, and grace upon those family and friends our brother will now be waiting for.
Sadly, I’d don’t own a .45-70, but my brace of Walkers will be joining in that salute at this Even’s Texas sunset.

Rev 21:4 “For God shall wipe away all tears; and there shall be no more death…sorrow…crying…pain: for the former things are passed away.”

He will be missed.
Very sad….
That is sad to hear
May .45-70 have found grace in the sight of the Lord and been welcomed into His presence with the words “Well Done, my good and faithful servent”. May he enjoy his life eternal in an incorruptible body, and be delighting forever in the Light of the Lord.
His struggles are over, and his reward is certain, so let us turn our prayers to his freinds, family, and children, be they physical or spiritual children, for those that no longer have him to hold are doubtless inconsolable this day. Let us uplift them in prayer for, though we do not know who they are and where they are, the Lord we pray to knows and will see to it we do not pray amiss.
-Heavenly Lord, we rejoice that you have called our brother to be with You, and celebrate his being in Heaven through Your grace and mercy, and the great sacrifice of Your precious Blood that You made for him, and us all, at Calvary. We celebrate through our tears, though, as we who knew only a small part of him can be feeling only a small sense of the loss of those who knew him well, and love him still. We know in our minds that it is only through the grave that he can reach You, but we all would have liked just a little more time with him, and no one more than his family. Please Lord, touch those in greif today, let Your Spirit light on them and fill them with the certain knowledge that their loved one is with You, and that they will meet again in the Light of Your glory, if they only accept the grace that You bought them with Your blood. Dry their tears, give them strength to go on, and draw them ever closer to You that all Your children can be reunited at Your holy feet.
We thank You and praise You in all your mercy for the comfort You have already sent, and for all that Your word promises to send.
In the precious name of Jesus,
Amen-
Matthew 5:4 – Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Hope he’s dancing with Jesus right about now.
Thank you, Supernightshade!
That’s beautiful!
You are welcone, @Val, but if there’s anything good you see in me, it is not me but my Lord Jesus Christ. What words I have, He sends, and to Him be the glory.
Very sad to learn of this. I greatly enjoyed his wit and wisdom. The Deranged’s deepest sympathies to his blood family and to his IOTW family.
I’ll join the fusillade at sunset with my .45-70
As we all move inexorably to that same end, we are wise to remember that our contributions can and do live beyond us.
This loss is not an end, but only a beginning for him. For us, we are torn between our own sadness and joy that he is in a better place.
I pray for his friends and family as they move through the sadness to a new normal.
Such sad news. Prayers for those closest to him and also for all those here who have shared such kindhearted and uplifting comments. What a great bunch of hearts here at iotwreport.
Rest in peace, .45 – 70, rest in God’s arms. Prayers for his loved ones.
…I’ll be pulling the trigger for .45-70 this evening as well, @willysgoatgruff, but I’m afraid my humble 7.62×39 will have to suffice…
The next round I fire will be in his honor. RIP .45-70.
May you be in Heaven a full half hour before the Devil knows you’re dead.
I’m so sorry to hear this. 😔
R.I.P. 45-70
Lovely @Supernightshade. Amen.
Damn, I hate to hear that.
R.I.P., .45-70.
Sorry to read that. He’ll be missed. RIP .45-70.
Well…SHIT.
Gonna havta toast ’em tonight…in sinence and quantity.
God bless ’em’.
Rest in peace fine gentleman.
^^^^^ what everybody here said. He will be missed. Farewell friend.
May his soul be singing with joy and love.
Very sad for the iotw family. RIP.

Very sad to hear about 45.-70. I will miss his concise, witty comments. May God bring peace and comfort to his whole family, including his fellow IOTWrers.
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.
God welcomes you 45.-70, as we still here will miss you.
SON OF A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I liked that guy.
Kinda’ sore at Killy Mcgee upstairs right now, but whatever. He’s got it in for all of us eventually.
Very sad to hear. It seems like he posted just recently, in the past week.
Death can come like a thief in the night.

Rest in peace Brother.
Whoso thou be that passeth by;
Where these corps entombed lie:
Understand what I shall say,
As at this time speak I may.
Such as thou art, sometime was I,
Such as I am, such shalt thou be.
Long ago I was a sexton. There’s not a day goes by that I forget that.

.45-70 – also known as the .45-70 government cartridge. Developed in 1873. Originally a black powder cartridge, but performs exceptionally well with smokeless powder. It has a long and storied history.

You never did answer my questions earlier.

2) Regular or heavy-duty?
3) Shiny side or dull side out?
