Giving a guy an estimate for some survey work and he said the magic words. "any interest in trading for a gun?"
It's a 7x57 Remington, believe a number 5.
I have nothing against the caliber, but my personal preference would be for something a little more BP conducive.
How hard would it be to rebarrel and modify the extractor to 45-70? I am assuming the action is strong enough if it was rolling smokeless 7mm to start.
Anything I should be on the look out for as far as problem areas?
LONG day in the orchard, today, and I'm dozing off.
Will be back in the AM with the inside skinny on the #5, and it's own unique set of challenges, in converting to a BP.
Certainly do-able
