I am in process of building a 450bm, did alot of internet research on the ar platform. I was wondering why i didn't see
any 45-70 style ar uppers, or did i just miss them?

Due to the fact that the 45-70 cartridge case is rimmed. The AR-15 is designed for cartridge cases that are rimless.

10x4 on the rim..Rims are "Very" problematic in semi-auto's. Unless you have a tubular feed 22LR or the Box Fed Mag-WWII 303 Brit Bren Gun, otherwise, they are not worth the problems. They are not worth the cost to force them to work. Don't get me wrong, you can force it and I can put a Hemi in the neighbor kids Schwinn too. If you got the money I'll do it, but I will assume you are not on the Board of the Federal Reserve..wink.. Hope this helps..

That is if it would hold together.
