The rim on the 45-70 Government is 0.608".  Nobody makes a bolt for something that would fit in a .308AR that would even survive that.  I know I would never, ever try to fire my 405gr handloads for my Marlin 1895 lever gun, through an AR platform.  No way.

This is your only hope:

I never found an acceptable version of an AR in 7.62x54.
