I have a remmington rolling block in .43 spanish. I was wondering if It could be rebarreled to 45-70 as this would be a lot cheaper to shoot.

    It can be done, it has been done.
    It would be more expensive now than it used to be.

    yes you can but....43 brass and dies are about the same cost as .45/70 now so why not reload?? keep the gun original and invest less than 1/2 the cost of a new barrel in reloading supplies.

    I had mine rebarreled to 45-70 several years ago. At that time the cost of the reloading dies and the cost of a bullet mold were a couple hundred dollars and a barrel only cost a little more. Things may be different now.
