Do you have any idea how I bent it all up? Was it the loose tube that bent the barrel band screw?
I don't have a clue. I would call Braztech and buy the replacement screw.

OOPS, I did it to my 44, not my 45-70. Sorry I was thinking 92, not 45-70. But mine was caused because I let the screws get loose and I did not tighten them. I now check them after every shooting session, while I'm cleaning them.
