Neat I have not seen one converted to .45-70 before cool how does it shoot? accurate or poor or decent just curious about the qaulity of this conversion. This to me is folk art. I love it

Darn I was hoping it was yours to hear more details. It is an interesting find for sure I wonder who did the conversion.

Navy Arms used to import SMLE's converted to 45-70.

Navy Arms used to import SMLE's converted to 45-70.

This one just sold on GunAuctions for $405. I have noticed the Navy Arms rifles on a regular basis, this one appeared to be new.

NIce and very interesting to see such kind of rifle which has been converted.

The last available through Gibbs, not the Navy Arms, but the Frontier Carbines are pretty good looking rifles.
