Always happy to show off my cannon.

Just took it out last weekend for a fundraiser for the Boy Scouts. Generally we shoot the big gun then some of my other antiques such as .45-70 Springfield, both infantry and cavalry model, '03 Springfield and M-1.

If your chambers actually have 2 11/16" chambers with square edges, you should probably have the square edges rounded a bit, or punched with a 2 3/4" chamber reamer, which solves all problems. Maybe someone here has such a reamer to lend. A member lent me a 28 gauge chamber and rim recess reamer that successfully converted two guns to usable condition.
