A. Cayce Signature - .45-70 Auto

"With the high level of interest in our 45-70, I thought I would share some of the background on this project. This gun started out as a personal project that has been languishing on the back burner for several years. This year we had the opportunity to bring my idea to fruition, and we are very excited with the results. We appreciate you all for showing the same excitement. This project was made possible by my team at the shop" ~ Aaron Cayce

Signature .45-70 Auto

The .45-70 Auto is the Brainchild of the Owner and Founder of Phoenix Weaponry, Aaron Cayce. Born from the original .45-70 Government, developed in 1873, this modernized cartridge steps into the modern hunting game generating an excess of 4,000 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. This rifle is built on our venerable billet AR10 upper and lower receiver, coupled with a custom barrel and barrel bushing. This beast will bust down doors for breaching purposes and has proven itself in the field by dispatching enormous wild bovine with ease and efficiency. Featured on the cover of Recoil, Trigger, and a host of other magazines. This cartridge because of its straight wall also fills the requirements for hunting with a semi auto rifle in the states of Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan. Our customers and end users count on our precision, performance and reliability when it matters the most, and all our materials and components are domestically sourced so we can proudly say, “Made in USA”.
