Last USAicon gunshows I was at the 45/70 conversions were constantly over $400, and I always noticed people online asking for them too.

Story; at that Costa Mesa show in 2003 ish a buddy and I were lingering at the end of the day and someone walked in carrying two rifles, navy arms, jungle carbine and a stock but nice ishapore. He was trying to get beer money from the rifle sale. I helped him by getting the carbine, and at first glance down the bore it was blocked with something, so I blew and sucked and tried my best but what ever it was wouldn't come out so I took a gamble on the bore and for $100 it was mine.
Later I poked a dowel through a bore and a bludy big black widow fell out. Moral of the story? Don't suck on the end of a cheap gun barrel, you could get a lot more than bargained for.

It turned out to be one of my favorite shooters.

Now that you own one of these shall we say 'illegitimate' enfields, I tried one at the range that had two slots cut across the top of the flash cone. It completely did away with muzzle rise!
A gun shop was making them and they're available online, but you have the kind of rifle thats forgiving of worthwhile experiments like that, just a thort.
