More CZ/Huglu ?????
      #108481 - 29/06/08 03:43 PM

I'm taken with the notion of building a double .45-70 for a first project, simply for the cost of feeding. I've read and reread the thread on the CZ actions, and am satisfied that they will meet my needs, but still have a couple of questions. I noticed that the Coach gun from CZ has the same third bite as Tecnos donor gun whereas the Bobwhite model has the Greener topbolt. Do most of you experienced hands feel that this third bite is sufficient for the cartridge or should the Greener be leant towards? I intend to load BP or nitro for black loads. Ellis Brown recommends to compare doubles for proper frame/cartridge proportion. Unfortunately there aren't exactly racks full of rifles to compare around here. I understand that more is generally better particularly with chamber walls, but are 16 bore dimensions sufficient to the threaded barrel technique or go all the way to 12 bore?

I really like the idea of ears on this project if the third bite like Tecnos shooter will work but that would go straight to 12 bore.

Thanks in advance for your input. I need to justify the countless hours I've spent perusing these threads! LOL

Hi!

I personaly dont think that you need a third bite at all if the action is sound and if you are going to load to bp pressure. There are old guns chambered for larger cartridges without a third bite. But if something goes wrong or someone would load it with a #1 round it realy would be nice to have one.

What is the difference in price? I lean towards the Greener crossbolt, think of it as your catistrofic damage insurance policy. The hidden third bite is better than not having a third bite, but not as good as the Greener crossbolt. Do you need it for a 45/70? No, but it is comforting to know it is there, especially when there is so much spread in the loading intensity of the 45/70 cartridge. You never know what somebody down the line will put in your gun.
