I have tried a search here and google and came up short.  Does anyone know of a kit that can handle a 45-70 gov?

If I'm not mistaken, .308 has much higher pressures than 45-70.
Any Ti kit of suitable diameter and length should be able to handle 45-70. Suspect stainless baffles would be the way to go...but I'm just speculating here - haven't done one myself.

Correct, the 45-70 doesn't have a large max chamber pressure. The volume of gases, however, will be a bit more. The bore size needs to also be taken into account.

Get something in the 1.625OD x 8-9in length.

45-70 takes up to (wait for it) 70 grains of powder (if you use black).

My .45 ACP runs on 4.5 grains of powder.

Lot more gas to deal with from a 45-70.
