Navy Arms 45-70

[Strothman]

I purchased this rifle about 15 years ago and it has been residing in the safe for that long. Just recently extracted it from back of safe and thought I would query OK Shooters if they could provide any data regarding this weapon. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Interesting bolt gun, I've never seen one in person. No idea how they're rated as far as pressure capability.

Nice looking weapon there chief.

You have a sporterized SMLE No 1 Mark III* made in Lithgow, Australia. It had Factory Thorough Repair done in 1952 it looks like. They are nice rifles, originally chambered in .303.
