I found a great deal on a Traditions 45/70 thumbhole. I was wondering what the possibilities of a smokeless conversion might be. Anyone have experience with this gun and who would be able to make a savage style breech plug for it? Are the bores similar to the H&R Handi Rifle? Thanks for any info!

A great deal on a Traditions is if someone paid you to take it.  Owned two, that was enough. IMHO there are much better platforms for you to build on. |

Those responses don't sound encouraging. I'd like to stick with a single shot platform, do you the the Handi Rifle is a better way to go?
Thanks for the opinions!

My RB converted 45/70 Encore is a great shooting gun. SMI will do the conversions on the barrel.
