Thread: 45-70

Not the easiest to find a 45-70 Marlin in stock.... lots have them on the web sites but lots are sold.. I nearly purchased on a while back.... Then no one had stock,they do turn up on trademe a bit (to much for some...like the idea but not the recoil)

I ended up buying a 338 barrel to make a 338SAUM and but open sites on and a detachable scope......but I haven't had time to build it yet

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
