45-70 Lee Enfield

To tame that rifle body is simple...if you procure a butt that's full length and then put a recoil pad on that keeps it out there, plus a comb stock...that will take all the hurtiness away. The rifle comes up to align the sights and there's no room for rearward movement... A Parker-Hale type butt...

That is quite beautiful. That one in 45-70? What kind of 4570 loads can this Mk.4 action handle?

That one in 45-70?

No, that's a standard .303. The butt is what I'm suggesting, with a recoil pad. I think they'll handle any 45/70 as they handle 7.62 and proof cartridges... I fully intend to build one when the chance arises. I still ask has the extractor been modified?

I haven't really looked at that extractor. Let me snap you a picture tomorrow!!!
