I used to have a 45-70 barrel for my TC. Alas, I don't have the wrist for it so I sold it off to a fellow with arms like oak trees who thinks that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
It is a fantastic round though. I do have a 45-70 barrel on my Encore.
Navy Arms used to sell Mauser Rifles with the chambers bored out to .45-70. You could order extened 45-70 brass which efectively made the hitting power of the rifle like a large calibre weatherby magnum. A moose hit in the shoulder would be rolled right over , legs up , almost before it hit the ground!
Nice rifle! Nice caliber!
