Saw an AR-10 chambered in .45-70

>a 20 round magdump costs you $25
I'll take three.

Won't the non tapering case make feeding a issue?

>all that neat niche stuff not available in europe
god damn

I unironically want a 12.7mm survivalist Rifle Clone from New Vegas. I wonder if that’s possible and how expensive it’d be to make.

What's the english term for those birch mutations?

Curly birch seems to be one.

What is .50AE and .50Beowulf chambered AR15s?

gay as the fudd that made it skinwalkers be damned
>hey billy bob lets make uh ayyyyarrr in muh fav deer round
>oh no royboy, case be too long to werk
>shit just chamber it in some weird basterdized rebated rim case
>lets call it the .421 fuddbuttplug

How? .45-70 should not cycle a semi-auto action without massive fouling.

the point is to use smokeless powder, not black powder

I know but do they even make A1 style uppers and lowers for them, how much would wood furniture cost. I imagine the canted sight would be something I skipped cause I actually would wanna shoot it.

people call guns like that "tiger striped" a lot of the time.

Hello, the 1800s have been over for over a century now. We dont use black powder anymore

Well, I'm building one in 458 socom, and it's just a barrel and bolt switch out. I work in Industrial design so me and a friend are custom making A1 furniture for me and I'm going to stain it red.

NEW VEGAS NIGGAS

What's your language's term for it?

Wood burl.

Imagine fuckin' up feral hogs with this.

I'd like this, but with a two-round burst feature.

Come to America.

Besides being peak American, is there a practical use for this outside of skinwalker defense? Is that a threaded barrel? Are they using .45-70 as a naturally subsonic equivalent to .308?

I think in modern powder .45-70 is quite supersonic. I didn't ask about the barrel. I do seem to recall something being said about recessing the bolt face. As for practicality, well if the Apaches attack...

I have a thing for 45/70, no idea why

Quite simple, really. You long to expand westward, no sign of stopping, while penetrating the frontier and crushing all uncivilized peoples who oppose you.

>.45-70 is quite supersonic
You're right, in my head I was thinking "round bullet = subsonic." There is a wildcat round with that premise, the .45-70 Whisper. But obviously a semi-automatic rifle firing rimmed cartridges is going to have enough to deal with without throwing funky reduced loads at it.

New rifles =/= better commander

Eh, rims aren't a complete problem. SVT did fine with them.

No, but even Douglas Haig would've performed better with FALs. Same principle for Custer. An overwhelming technological superiority can overcome incompetence.

No, because we aren't fucking cavemen using black powder
that being said, if you're using soft lead for bullets then you could get a leaded barrel which has the same results of black power fouling.

I love the stock, the pistol grip, and the caliber. However I hate almost everything forward of the receiver.

>1/4" fitting gap between the rear of the freefloat handguard and receiver. That's just fucking sloppy.
>Handguard does not appear to have any anti-rotation tabs or other design provisions to reduce strain on the screws holding it together.
>Random piece of metal screwed into top under the scope like it was supposed to be a glare reduction band... but it barely goes past the scope and it's too shiny for that.
>While we're at it, why is that handguard finish so shiny anyway?
>And did they seriously just screw a random piece of nice wood onto the bottom of the handguard? Why? Why not make a whole wooden handguard if you already crafted that stock and pistol grip? Why not have it profiled to come back all the way, or up a little further, or... just... not look so half assed? It's like they gave up at the 80% mark.
>Threaded barrel but no muzzle device? Not even a thread protector?

Literally called flame. The more cloud like grains are called quilt.

I would sell my left nut unironically for this

Won't being that retarded make it extremely painful?

For a while, until incompetence creates an even bigger disaster that the technology can't overcome.
If I had one of these and a time machine, I'd shoot Custer so he could be replaced by literally anyone.

You know we updated our cartridges for smokeless powder, right?

Like .30-30 Winchester was a blackpowder cartridge originally, but it was pretty quickly changed to smokeless gunpowder, where it became a runaway success, prompting many new cartridge developments, as well as the updating of existing cartridges.
With .45-70 casings today being made with tougher methods, and using a modern powder, a Henry Big Boy (made with strong and modern steel), can pound out that .458 caliber bombshell at speeds an old Trapdoor Springfield could only ever dream of, with a fraction of the smoke signature, and a fraction of the fouling.

.45-70Auto is a thing. modified case head to be rimless and shaped to use a more common bolt face.

30-30 and 30-40 were always smokeless, just followed the older naming convention.

The hardest part I've found is having both the forward assist and a side charging upper. Dunno how to get around that.

Wood triangle stock already exists Google wood for ar. 50 beo just uses 762x39 bolt and common magazines, beef up the buffer though.

>Like .30-30 Winchester was a blackpowder cartridge originally, but it was pretty quickly changed to smokeless gunpowder
But that's absolute bullshit. .30-30 was one of the first few cartridges designed for smokeless -- the "-30" refers to 30 grains of smokeless, not blackpowder. The .30-30 actually has more volume than .44-40 or .38-40, so if it had been a blackpowder cartridge it would have been something like .30-40 to .30-45.

Geeze. Nothing pleases you people.

Bump.

One day I shall, and happily spend my life shooting funs and teaching you colonials the proper spelling of "colour."

I have one, its awesome.
Beowulf uses a standard upper with a slightly enlarged ejection port. It could be done to any upper. There is no specific lower.

Eh, if you're making a boutique gun, make a boutique gun. Don't half-ass it.

>rebated rim

meh

>6 round magazine
>doesn't feed off the shelf .45-70 Government ammo
So assuming I'm not the kind of person who is unwilling to own anything that isn't an AR platform, what reason would I have to buy this over a .45-70 lever gun?

> uses proprietary .45-70 "auto" ammo
> $4,800
thats a no from me dawg

Not the same gun I saw.

>Muh custard was incompetent meme
Almost every commander of that age would have similarly underestimated the odds in that situation

>institutional incompetence

disgusting
