[gendoc]

i knows tha 45/70 td load data shows 28000 psi and the sb-1 receiver should
handle that.....but really, would this be safe ?  case head is quite large !!!
and the average joe might use hornady evolutions in her

its not for me... i gots enough 45/70's !!!
i'm jus concerned of someone not knowing.

and the pawn job dude ain't got a clue what he has got.

it fits like a glove and all areas show a perfect lock-up....unaltered

i tooker down to tha bones... shelf latch 100%, zero tolerance breech face to frame.

looked lika can of dead worms..... no wiggle even wif tha forend off.
and of course, breakopen thumb lever is in perfect spec.

i'd shooter,... how bout chall ??....  i gotta old tractor tire and a cupla pieces a rope, ana long strang
and kant ferget tha big oak tree ta hide behind  

ya jus gotta look out fer ya neighbor in these parts !!!

i thank ya.....

The original model 155 Shikari 45-70 and 44mag was on a cast iron frame, trapdoor loads should be fine on the SB1 frame, H&R just hasn't got incentive to do the testing yet, maybe they'll see the light and make it and the Hornet available on SB1 frames someday.

Had a new 1987 that was 45/70 well before the SB-2 Shoot the 405gr Remingtoon great but kicked the snot out of you with Hornady LE. My Ruger #3 the LE is the light no recoil load

SB2 frames were first available in late 1986, early 1987, they had a BB, NA or HA prefix.

How do you tell and SB-1 receiver from an SB-2?  I have a 45-70 rifle and a 44 Mag rifle.  I don't notice anything really different.  I thought the 44 Mag and the 45-70 would be on different type receivers.  What am I missing?

It's kind of a pain in the butt, especially with a synthetic stock.  You have to take off the buttstock and look at the rear of the frame.  SB1s are solid cast iron, SB2s are skelletonized alloy.  See the FAQs.  It's a pain with the synthetics, because the stock is tight on the 9/16 socket and it wants to stick down there.

In my world, for shooter 'comfort', I wouldnt shoot heavy loads anyway, trapdoor level as max would be fine (and was for so much of the early 45-70s history too). I would have no worries and even though you have 'enough', you might as well buy it anyway, just for us.
Me bad?
