That was RD Show shooting with iron sights, not me. I prefer a scope.

Well, the costs..... I paid Ken $250 for the gun. I was going to simply use the barrels, as I have M51 12ga. However, only a 3 year difference according to the serial number list and there was no way that the barrels would interchange. I don't remember the exact price of the conversion, but I believe it was around $1,300 or so. I am not sure if Rich is still working on guns.

Really think hard about doing any conversion. I am still not sure if I would do it again. Dan's stock really helps the gun. Rich and I spoke for hours about the proper choice. I really like the 45-70, so it was matter of finding a proper loading.
