The following are pictures of a Ruger Red Label that I converted to a 45-70 for a friend in Florida. I am including a couple of pictures of the construction process on this rifle. He insisted on having a red dot mounted on it and I insisted that he also needed irons mounted on it so he got both. His eyes make it difficult for him to use iron sights so I mounted day glow sights that he will be able to use.

Some things that might need to be explained. First I appologise for the quality of these pictures, they were taken some time ago on our old digi cam and I am not much of a photographer. I would not have had these to show you except the owner wanted it all documented on film. You will note that my shop is always a mess, no excuses, just too busy with too little space.

In one or two of these you will see that I bored the monoblock out before cutting all the barrels off, this was done to insure a better alignment of the new bore with the monoblock. The barrels were first cut off at different lengths, the longer one was line bored first then cut back to 1/4 inch of the mono., next the other one was line bored and it was cut back. In the chambering picture you will notice a C clamp , it is holding the ejectors in tight to the mono. while I finish up the chambers. There may be other questions and I will answer them as I get time.
