 Huh? Seems like the chamber length of a 45/70 in a 4.25” barrel won’t leave much “barrel”. :roll:
:lol: Oh, about 1 and 3/4's. ;)

Isn't that close to the length of one of those rounds? :shock:

Mark, I looked it up as a cal. I don't load for or shoot. 2.52".
So as I stated about 1.75" of barrel.

I think I will get one of those so I can let people that annoy me at the range shoot it. I shoot the light loads and give the annoying party the full house stuff. Ya I know I am sick.

Seven hundred clams for a two barreled hand full of dynamite? The only way to shoot that as a 45-70 would be to load two round balls over about 5 grains of bullseye or a shot load with a roll crimp on the end of the brass.
