of my upcoming project.

I am afraid the building process interests me more, than actually using that thing

What the processes that went into building it? Or are you trying to duplicate it?

This is the only piece that you need FFL transfer for. From what I understand it was forged, machined and coated.

The rest are parts that youi can buy anywhere and piece it together as you wish.

What kind of oil are you going to be running on that thing

Is that a .223 ?

70CB750 · « **Reply #4 on:** November 20, 2014, 11:20:31 AM »

Oil? I am not gonna go there

Yes, the plan is for 5.56/.223.

I want to get into building my own AR platform, especially an 80% lower. Cool project!

But in canada ARs are classified as "resitricted" firearms BY NAME. So stupid. We can ONLY take them to a certified range, only go straight there, filing paperwork, registering, etc... Not worth the hassle of extra licensing compared to non-restricted long guns. Same goes for handguns.

But we can get 12" double barrel scatterguns no problem, though! Ask away about Canadian firearms laws... always a good lesson in "WTF were they thinking!?"

I just picked up one of these beauties yesterday... http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/MARKIIFVXP Going to do some long-range plinking!

Nice rifle! I always liked the Savage AccuTrigger, what an excellent technical solution.

.22s are hard to find in my area, btw.

I am a revolver guy, I don't care much for fast shooting, I hunt with single shot 45-70 or single action revolver, but I like the idea "building it one piece at a time" and the endless possibilities of AR-15.

Also having a rifle that can be shot a lot just for fun

Yeah it is my first Savage... I can't wait to see how it performs at the range. Soda cans beware... :|

I don't hunt, but I am the same way. I like practicing my marksmanship, and focusing on consistency.

What model is your 45-70? I have a Rossi single shot 12 gauge that is a hoot to shoot. I want a single shot rifle now, too! Simplicity is great!

Do they allow you to chop off the all the extras, where they will fit in your boot?

They pretty much come that way...

If it comes from factory as a short barrel shotgun/rifle, it is legal so long as the OAL is >26". If you modify it yourself, however, to be less than 18.5" barrel or OAL <26", you are in possession of a prohibited weapon.

Awesome. I was debating between the H&R single shot 12Ga and the Rossi I bought. Rossi just squeezed it for price and a manual safety.

How is the trigger on Rossi? I would of course love to have Sharps, but always spend money on something else.

Russians make 45-70 side by side. It semed like a good idea, even though I am biased against anything coming from that country. Year ago I had the Baikal in my hand and it is very flimsy feeling gun, would never spend the money on it.

Remote farm folks I knew left the keys in the cars figuring as it was, thieves would take the car and go away without disturbing/dismembering them.

Every time I go to shoot my Rossi, it seems like the trigger is very light... but I usually go 22, SKS, Mosin, then to Shotgun. A bit gritty, admittedly, but I only have about 50 shells through it so far. The trigger has no slop, minimal takeup, and short travel after it breaks. In the spring I am going to go to my range's shotgun night more often.

Nice video on the 45-70 Sharps reproduction.

Those are definately fun to tinker with, kinda like the cb's with parts everywhere and really customizable. They are a riot to shoot also, hopefully you get some trigger time in.

Wish they never built all those .22 clones, another reason you can't find ammo anywhere, pisses me off. OOOPS wrong thread

JWExperience · « **Reply #22 on:** February 03, 2015, 11:32:45 AM »

I haven't got into reloads yet. Price has come down quite a bit now so I don't bother with it plus I don't shoot enough to really get into reloads. I just try to stockpile for the zombie apocalypse.

I started sorting my surplus 7.62x54R ammo by weight last night to try and use similar weighted rounds for better accuracy. I think I'll then sort by length for seating depth. My Mosin Nagant is quite accurate already, and I recently bedded the stock. Once the winds drop down here a bit more, I can get out and see how things have improved. Also stripped, stained, and oiled the stock. Here's how I did it: http://imgur.com/a/SHBAM

Also oiled my SKS after stripping too.

I know things can be off because of bullet vs powder vs case weight I KNOW I KNOW.... but still easier than pulling them all apart and re-weighing them. I don't have a reloading setup... yet.

I got to shoot an SKS for the first time the other day and it was a lot of fun. Was interesting mixing it in with our lever action marlin's and rossi that we'd taken

Yeah it is my favourite plinking rifle. Just a pain in the ass to clean afterwards! Shame we're limited to 5 rounds in the mag here in Canada. Super inexpensive rifle, easily modified, cheap ammo for plinking. Can't beat the damn things!

Very accurate, too, in the right hands...

As a Canadian, I feel it is my obligation to get an Enfield. The problem is finding one with original furniture that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! Then I could also get in to reloading, too... hmmm... An excuse to expand the hobby!

Plenty of sporters available, but finding a full stock kit and front sights are the hard part. Like CB750 stuff... sellers KNOW we want it and charge a pretty penny.

Thats how she sits now with green mountain barrel. I decided to leave the barrel at .905, it is meant to be a range queen and heavy barrels come handy.

Will have to make a custom gas block too.

I'm curious, 70CB, why not go with an 80% lower and skip the whole FFL process? I bought a 300 Blackout full upper from Hardened Arms ($300) and an 80% lower with a jig for under $150. No serials, no paper, and about 30' of mill time.

As soon as the weather breaks, i will go thigh a break-in and cook up a recipe for it in both sub- and hyper- sonic.

Its not about "something to hide" but about the aspect of building your own. Given your propensity for self-built stuff, figured you'd rather finish milling your own lower.

80% option crossed my mind but since I never even held AR15 in my hand before, I figured it is better to play it easy.

I served with these:
