Just asking for opinions on probability and such.
I am thinking about picking up one of those Mauser 71-84 rifles and converting it to a detachable mag .45-70 rifle by changing out the barrel, replacing the bolt, making my own mag well and seeing if I can't find a magazine that'll hold 10 rounds of .45-70.
I am looking at .45-70 since it's pressure rating is well below the .43 Mauser's max rating and the bullets appear to be close enough in size to easily work with in both rim and shell diameter.
BTW.
Anyone have any idea why SOG's site has a bandwidth error? It's been going on for days and I am worried they may be victims of a DOS attack.
