I had a H&R .223 receiver that needed a barrel so I sent it to H&R and had them fit the BC 32" .45-70 barrel to it. In this picture it has the original pallet wood stock (somewhat modified) and forend. I'm going to replace the black stock with with the walnut front piece and an unfinished walnut butt stock from http://www.gunstocksinc.com/web_pages/OddsnEnds-pictures/buffalo-classic-buttstock.html $30 + shipping, can't get it any cheaper.
I fitted a Williams FoolProof receiver sight and a Lyman front sight to it, a perfect combo, and I just got the .45-70 dies so I'm rolling my own now.
Here's the result of all my work:
The .45-70 is a blast to shoot, in more ways than one...
