Chambering .45-70 Govt cartridges modified to be rimless so they feed from a standard magazine, Phoenix Weaponry’s 45-70 Auto up-sizes the AR-10. The “Christine” will run you a cool $4,800, but if you’re looking for a semi-auto modern sporting rifle for bison hunting, look no further. Phoenix Weaponry’s press release follows . . .
Our New 45-70 Auto
Phoenix Weaponry of Longmont Colorado is pleased to announce the launch of their .45-70 auto rifle platform. That’s right, .45-70! The classic round born in 1873 through the Springfield Armory and labeled “Government” and designed specifically for the Springfield Model 1893, or “Trapdoor Springfield”. Phoenix Weaponry blown the lid off the marketplace with a unique twist to this classic cartridge as they have rebated the rim so that it can be adapted to a standard .308 bolt head and fired through a high pressure AR platform with shocking, sub MOA results, and a boosted performance curve.
The standard rifle bears a 20” custom profiled Douglas barrel utilizing a 1:14 twist with 8 grooves. Mated with a Phoenix Weaponry billet upper and lower, along with custom trigger and muzzle brake, this piece weighs in at just over 9 lbs. Master gunsmiths have toiled to produce one of the most exciting rifle evolutions seen in the MSR industry since Stoner fielded the SP1, with the added benefit of delivering tremendous down rage punishment to anything that stands in its way.
The beauty in the details is that this case, once rebated, can be reloaded easily using existing load information for the .45-70, based on Ruger No.1 loads, and the reloader can use standard .45-70 die sets with the exception of using a .308 shell holder. Factory brass will be available shortly and available for purchase from Phoenix Weaponry. Each rifle initially will be supplied with 50 pieces of brass to help the new user get started.
Immediate order slots are available now. Rifle base price as advertised is $4,800 with a multitude of custom options that can be added to enhance your enjoyment of this weapon platform. Just call them and make your wish come true.
For more information, contact Phoenix Weaponry at (720) 340-2496, or see this rifle on their website at www.phoenixweaponry.com

I heard they’re going to offer them in “blood red” soon.
Not surprised…the “no politics” lie kept me from TFB. That and nasty gun snobs. Facebook and TTAG are(usually)the extent of my 2A voyage.
. You can fix this drop discharge problem by using super glue instead of gun oil
now ttag will never get any blacklist blog links…
That sounds like a really fun time. It also explains why none of my bullets have hit the ” we were here” marker on the moon.
It would be great if nobody drove drunk, too…but that seems to continue.
Guns are here and NOT going away…
Bans do NOT work…look at prohibition and the current failed/failing “war on drugs”…LMAO
I like the wood-stocked version. It looks cool. In any caliber.
Anyone know the brand for the wood furniture in that picture? I can’t find it online. It looks like the forend is a wood “rail” section that attaches to a metal forend.
I go over there just to stir up stuff. I can’t stand a few of their writers, Nathaniel being #1. He may be a ballistics “expert” but is not the military expert he thinks he is.
I do not fear the Government, I certainly don’t trust them. Anyone confused as to why hasn’t been paying attention at any point in the last 10,000 years or so.
Kind of sad they thought they might get away with it.
An web-driven business thinking it would not get out?
All kinds of dumbass going on there.
The phone is integrated with 8-GB and 16-GB of storage space and expandable Micro – SD memory card option that supports
as much as 32GB memory. In breaking news from The Age,
it’s reported how the carbon tax will hit almost every
Australian which has a hefty price tag of $40,000 by 2050 coming to a massive $1 trillion hit towards the Australian economy.
Dabangg is a buzz today, tomorrow it will be supervened by
the Dhobighat or something like that else.
I don’t really have a dog in this fight. I seldom (okay, next to never) visit TFB. Their “No Politics” (unless they want to get into them) routine seemed nothing more than avoidance of topics that might anger advertisers. Kind of like Guns & Ammo’s gushing review of the Taurus Turd a couple of years ago, or the first generation R51 more recently. Or some people’s lame defense of Springfield Armory a few short months ago.
RIP your doggo once the ATF reads that you illegally manufactured a sockpressor.
Herein lies an object lesson to All Those Who Would Copy Glock: COPY them, already, and copy them CORRECTLY. Suck it up, and PAY the bloody royalty payments!
Schadenfreude is a BITCH.
For Bigfoot, Bray Road beast, NJ Devil, and CHAMP Hunting….Where Tiny isn’t an option against the unknown !
mmm…I can’t wait to load up some black powder in this thing…
WTF was TFB?
A disgruntled former employee posts a screen grab of a few lines of an exchange between him and his boss and you guys are ready to take it as gospel? I expected deeper critical thinking.
Here’s a question: if this was such a glaring public safety issue, why did it take Patrick three months to actually talk about it? You’d think he’d post a story just days after he quit to protect us shooters.
Or is this a desperate attempt to remain relevant, feeding off drama with a former boss?
Here’s the thing about disingenuous, lying a**holes: they will do and say anything they please to get what they want, taking zero responsibility for their own actions, and will use drama and conflict to self promote rather than facts or experience.
I guarantee there are screenshots of text conversations for everyone in the world that makes them either look like hero or saviors – I wonder what Roberts has said privately that may eventually surface and be taken in context or out against him.
It’s reasonable and believable.
How Much does it weights empty and how Much Is the trigger pull?Thanx very Much for your reply
“…require an out-of-state concealed carrier to sign in [or] register with the NYPD so we would have a record of who is legally carrying.”
Would require out-of-state drivers to register with the NY State Police so we know who was legally driving their “high powered” sports cars with “high capacity” gas tanks.
After all, those cars are vehicles designed for the track and have no place on NY’s roads.
FIFY
The market will punish the manufacturer.
Security theater, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
The cw 45 is comparable to the p45. The cm 45 is comparable to the pm45.
The difference in the c series and the p series are mim parts vs cnc machined parts. Standard barrels vs polygonal barrels. And slides are slightly different. I own both cw models and pm models all have been reliable to trust my life to. Shoot the two hundred round as suggested including your carry ammo.
Next time I go to NYC I will stop by the closest NYPD station I can find to inform them I will be in their city and acting entirely within the confines of the law so they have a record of it.
Stupid ass.
Yeah, but was it a bad shoot?
WHY?
THE OBVIOUS ANSWER IS KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY: THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT OF HISTORY INVARIABLY ARE DOOMED TO ALLOW THE REPEATrf SUFFERING; THAT BY ALLOWING THE OF DANGERS OF THE PAST TO BE REPEATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
HUMANS BY THEIR VERY NATURE ARE EVIL AND THUS CORRUPT AND THUS GOVERNMENT IN EVERY FORM IS CORRUPT, THE DEGREE OF CORRUPTNESS THE ONLY VARIABLE.
Politicians and Bureaucrats being human and thus with their attendant propensity for evil and consequently of corruptness; and yet again the only variable being the degree of corruptness, i.e. evil.
Jeffrey Snyder’s “A Nation of Cowards” presents in minute detail the basic weakness present in we humans that allows ourselves to be susceptible to government tyranny.
Jeffery Snyder rather lengthy and thus comprehensive study sets forth an easily understood basis for mankind susceptibility allowing us to be duped into becoming what is nothing more than the subject, the slaves of rogue government under the always inherit laws/registration conjured up by lawmaker in their continues gave of ‘one-upmanship; this latter game that lawyers play observed first hand over our 35 years of investigations done for clients and their attorneys; this game of one-upmanship played with whatever laws serve their intended purpose.
Our Creator, Our Triune God provided us with HIS TEN COMMANDMENTS; each simplified to degree that each is simple and thus easily understood.
If you have ever been in your local law library you if you are attentive can easily observe the shelves of books of laws and if astute know that they constitute only a minute number; a whole building required in our nation’s capital to house the tooms of volumes of laws that are added to daily.
Among those almost unlimited number of laws can be found one or more laws that allow the provision of another law under with an action is being brought.
Only Christians and only a few Christian at that understand and appreciate that be it only a limited extent the gross adverse ‘contribution’ that the Sadducees and Pharisees, the lawyers of that day and time, who were guilty of fostering on the Jewish people of that day . . . although they were the evil tool* utilized in the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ; our Heavenly Father, our Creator utilizing these evil ones to provide each of us who have ever lived or who will live with the only means available to receive the Grace, the Unmerited Favor, that through the Blood Sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary of His Only Son, Jesus Christ.
*Footnote: In our modern day and time Our Triune God continues to utilize the evil ones among us to accomplish His Purposes, they thought admittedly an abomination at the very least, they are useful in the final analysis in finally serving as an unknowing tool in accomplishing finally a noble end.
I’ll bite, what do the colors on the map represent?

Not sure where you got 17oz from but it says directly on their website that it weighs 21oz. Still a pretty good weight. But not 17oz…..
