Bugger, jump on this offer with both hands and feet. i have beat this horse to death but it took 20 years for me to find one and i looked from calif to north carolina at ever gun show i ever went to. you just don't see the SM's and very few Enfields come up. the holy grail is that M70.
i too have been thinking of building a 450 but my heart belongs to the 45/70.

the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
