The conversion is vary easy. Just unscrew the 303 barrel and screw in a 410 barrel. Making the mag work is more complicated, but if your happy with a single shot your good to go. I converted a M44 to a 410 slug gun for deer in Ohio. It was for the grandkids and my number 2 granddaughter fired a 1 /12 in. 3 shot group with it off of a card table. I loaded 240 gr. hard cast bullets and pushed them at 1295 fps. form used 410 cases. With brass cases you would have a 405 Win. ( Teddy Roseivelts favorite African planes game round.)

But a 45-70 Enfield action would be very fun to own.

at $250 it is hard for me to pass up, but it really doesn't fit well anywhere in my collection. I put my 45-70 Encore together over the weekend, and it just felt great. Balance, LOP, everything just seemed right.
Of course, it is twice the price or more.

Just to drop this in, here's your 45-70/45-90 magazine for the No.4.

Not faulting Can West triggers but if you have a No4 Mk2, mk1/2, or Mk1/3 the CanWest will not fit unless you remove the trigger hanger from the receiver.

Works fine with No4 Mk1 & No4 Mk1& though.
