Remington ~ MR221 Double Rifle ~ .45-70 Government

Remington (Baikal) MR221 chambered in .45-70 Government. This is a side-by-side, break action double rifle in hard-to-find 45/70 government. This gun was imported for only a brief period by Remington. Due to the small number imported, it could prove to be a collector's item in the future. The front sight is a basic ramp and truncated post which looks as though it can be shortened to suit your needs, and the rear sight is dovetailed into the 7in-long quarter rib with a single screw to tighten and adjust for windage and rear facing notch-aiming blade. At 8.75in down the barrel, on the underside, is an adjustment wheel that allows regulation or barrel tuning to occur. This caliber, the 45/70 government, and the configuration will make an excellent brush gun for anything that walks on the North American Continent.
