I was referring to the fellow wanting a .45/70. The .30/06's are here - I've also handled one - looks and handles pretty good to me for $950.00. The shop owner said the .45/70's may take as much as 5 years to arrive, BUT - I don't put a lot of faith in his predictions. Sometimes he's right, though.

The action is virtually identical to the shotgun and barrels appear to perhaps with a bit of fitting, be interchangable, BUT - there may be heat-treatment changes to the shotgun action to make it take an '06's pressure.
