If I buy a 45/70 handi rifle will I need to buy a new barrel to convert to smokeless? Or can I just have it altered?
Also if I have Remington 700ml I will need a new barrel correct?

The handi barrel can be machined for a breech plug. The rem needs a barrel... Call Luke at arrowhead for that one!

Would anyone know what it would cost to machine a handi rifle?

Total including plug and shipping should run you anywhere from $200-$250 anything higher is a bit much for the conversion.

Slufoot did mine.
$110 for machine work
Roughly $20 for shipping, he shipped it back to me on his dime.
I provided my own Savage plug.
His price may have changed, not sure.
I don't think he is taking any work till after the New Year.
Will probably have an Arrowhead plug put in my next one.
