Thread: 45-70

I always wanted a 45/70 too. I had at one stage even purchased 60 rounds of factory ammo in anticipation. Since sold and idea shelved. Would have been a single shot on a Martini action. I still have the barrel for it somewhere. Where does the 450 Marlin fit in Leathel?

Hi Zimmerman if you find the barrel let me know, would be keen to rebarrel my martini 45/70 awesome rifle

Maca - I will have a serious look for it. I know it is a plain blank which would need profiling. I cannot remember though whether it was suitable for smokeless or only BP.

Black powder is what I would want it for, anything else would be a bonus thanks Terry
