The .40-70 is just an extra barrel - not shipped that way from the factory. Huge difference in the value.
I would agree as there is no magazine with…
…stock is not a bad match for the main rifle. To me it falls into the really neat category, but no proof. So basically an 86 that letters as a 45-70 with couple special ordered features with a price tag comparable to what the liernet has told them. Wouldn't give more than half what they are

The rifle appears to be as he describes it. S/N 345, type I-1 M70 Standard rifle in 30 GOV'T'06. No added holes or other non-factory alterations I could see. Sorry Clarence... The bridge is undrilled!!!

Ron,
S/N 1344908 is listed in the records as 10/23/1945, and it is one of the 8,870 officially manufactured in the year 1945.
The slightly shorter magazine tube is normal... most of the Model 94s have a slightly shorter mag

That should be his first alternative, unless he wishes to test his capacity for handling aggravation. A first-year production 70 in even half-way decent condition, yes, even drilled for a scope mount, would be a very special rifle to me.

Is the full serial number 345? Three digits? That would make it 1936 production, as the first couple thousand were made before the M70 was first offered for sale on January 1, 1937.

…to the range today (barely) before temps hit triple digits and abused my shoulder a bit with some 45-70 loads I had on the shelf. The Hotchkiss sight isn’t well suited to 50 yard aiming and it seems this musket isn’t suitable for placing hits on paper…
