Please see some pictures of recent progress on my 45-70 project.

The water table cuts are now complete including drilling for the cocking levers. You will see one is completed and one is not.

You will note above that the bushing holes have not been cut in. They are now finished and tapped. See below.

The tang has been cut, shaped, and installed. The hole for the top lever has been drilled.

You can see below that it has been welded in place.

Top lever fits very nicely but will need a little filing but not much.

Need to now turn my attention to the floor plate. I will report back soon.----Bill
