Just received this little jewel back from Lee Hadaway. A nice, short and compact 45-70 takedown is a good thing. Add XS ghost ring & front sight & rail for RMR and it's pretty versatile.

Very nice! I have a GBL and in takedown form it would be perfect.

That looks about perfect, I love my GG and a takedown would be even better. Does the smith make the large lever?, I need one.

Very nice indeed!!!

I just loaded some 405 grain subsonic rounds this morning for my suppressor-equipped stainless guide gun. If it were a takedown, I would get a case to fit the rifle and the suppressor all in one container. Like Hadaway says on his site - "John Wayne meets James Bond". LOL He doesn't list the price of the conversion but I'm guessing it ain't cheap.

TexasShooter, anyone with a cape buffalo to their credit can easily spring for a takedown conversion. Life is too short to shoot a 45-70 that isn't a takedown.

Uh...have been taking the buttstock off and wrapping it in a towel and stuff sack all this time! Toting the barrel and receiver in a shotgun scabbard.

Newfangled oldfangled, right purty!

I heard they got phones that gots TVs in 'em!!


Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Lee Hadaway's contact info please?
