Came across this and thought it was interesting.

Custom 45-70. Converted British Lee Enfield. Professionally converted. Beautiful machining and woodwork.

Cool, I would totally get that if I could afford .45-70 as of now. But I can't. Sigh.

I have a Gibbs/Navy Arms SMLE converted to 45/70 and it's quite the little rifle. I had the thing drilled & tapped, Williams top mount using an old Bushnell Scope Chief. I don't shoot it as much as I should, it always groups well. I reload to Marlin 1895 levels, from what I've read the thing should be able to handle it.

I'd contact him about it but link states "NH residents only"

I think it would be cool to have one of the Gibbs conversions. They don't often come up for sale.
