itching to get a fix..
A 9mm AR upper or single shot .45/70 "get both" is not an option (sorry, otherwise I would)

IBTGB (in before the get both)
I would say go for something different. How many ar's do you already have? 1, 10? If you only have one, another one in a different caliber might be fun. a 45-70 is deffinatoly something different. But it also depends on what you like shooting. I like shooting semi-autos. Bolt actions just dont do it for me anymore, so I doubt a single shot would be that fun for me either. Its really up to your personal likes and dislikes. |

I would get a 45-70, if you allready have multiple ARs. Unless it absolutely has to be a single shot, I would opt for a lever action instead though, but thats just me.
I love mine

What about a .458 SOCOM upper? .45-70 ballistics for your AR....

just looking for something out of the ordinary..
I've got plenty of AR's and Uncle Sam sees to it that I have an M4A1 to play with  I've got plenty of .223 and .308 bolt and SA got shotguns and enough sidearms (for just this moment)  I figure a 9mm AR would be fun to shoot and cheap to feed....(I'd like an MP5 just like the rest of ya, but not like I can readily pay for that one) A .45/70 is pretty historic, BIG and well, just plain kicks ass. 50 BMG would be nice, but I'm not in that price range, if you include the cost of optiks. |

I vote for the 45/70 they a blast to shoot a long range. Me a couple friends shoot 500yds at steel drums, fire.................wait..................wait................dong. I have a Pedersoli Sharps and a Marlin Cowboy lever gun. Both are excellant rifles and very accurate, but you don't get a high round count unless you are into some real punishment. They will beat on you, I suggest a magnum shoulder pad.

Sharps (or repro) or Springfield .45-70. But then, a .45-70 has been on my mind for some time, so I may be a bit biased.

Depends on what you are worried about civilized people, uncivilized indians or buffaloes.
I haven't had any surprise visits from buffaloes or indians since the word got out in the neighborhood I had a couple of 45-70s. A man can never have too many 45-70s. Lessee 500grn bullet vs 55 grn bullet? hmmm |

Cmon guys, tied at 27 votes each? This is AR15.com, I'm kind of surprised. I mean, the site is for people who love ARs. But that just tells you how much street cred the old .45-70 still has.

45-70, it's tough not to smile when you fire 3 rounds on a target at 50 yds, and you don't need a spotting scope to see the one large hole. Did that awhile ago with a friends Marlin. No kidding, a 3 rd cloverleaf. Ya practically need a magnifing glass to see those little 22's.
Nothing feels the same as the 'thump' of a big old bullet leaving the muzzle. Somehow you just KNOW that that big slug will get the job done on whatever it hits. |

well damn... I saw the results and it was for .45/70 so I priced one yesterday (H&R Buffalo Classic ~$379) and woulda bought it but I had a dr appointment to go to. I was thinking about going back there today/tomorrow...
I'd really like to have both, but only one can be afforded at the moment.... so unless someone know of a source for a great deal on a 9mm AR set up..it's .45/70 time eta: Beouwolf... it'd be cool, but if there's a "new" calibre in the house, it's gotta be .45/70 (promise I made to myself some time ago)

Get the .45-70.
If you can afford a 9mm upper for an AR-15, you can afford a .45-70 that holds more than one round at a time. |

Get the 9mm. I think you would get a lot more use and practice out of it. I indulged in a BIG caliber rifle once and didn't care for it knocking the shit out of me.

Lever actions do not apeal to me at all. The H&R is actually a model I've been eyeballing for some time.  Info |

Good to see I'm not the only levergun(cowboy assault rifle) fan on this site.
Get the 45-70. I passed one up at Christmas that was $370nib and I am still kicking myself. |
