But can you hit a man at 1,000 yards with that rifle?

Paper is worthless at long range without a spotting scope. This is open sight long range target shootin' at a lifesize steel buffalo. Matches monthly throughout the US.
No problemo owning guns here. Assault rifles are banned, a Class 3 license is required to own fully automatic weapons. And there ain't no registration on pre 1898 antiques, cap and ball BP rifles, shotguns or pistols of any age. As a matter of fact, curios and relics rifles and shotguns bought from private citizens by like private citizens (no FFL's between them) purchased at gun shows need not be registered. Easy verification, just call ATF office in Los Angeles, ask for Inspector Esco, or call CA DOJ in Sacramento and ask for Jim.
US Law~Shotgun legal barrel length: 18" / Rifles: 16" / Exception: antique "Trapper" rifles with barrel length of less than 16" must be cleared by ATF, except Marlins, which were all cleared years ago by Colonel Brophy.

Why would anyone buy a .40-90 Sharps Straight (3 1/4" cartridge) in 1885? No buffalo left to speak of. Have no klew. I have another High Wall in .40-60 that was shipped to Fort Griffin Texas in 1886. Fort Griffin was the HQ for the southern buffalo hunters once. Why anyone would purchase that cartridge is beyond me, as the .45-70 will do it better.

Does button magazine = side-loading tube magazine like this one?
