What I think is you are a jerk for posting that...I cant afford another project lol.

Well done!

Please run down the specs. What ammo is that? With plastic tips I assume no issues loading in the tube mag right?

Side bar note:

Folks overlook the value of a lever action as a defensive weapon. I recall an editorial in one of the gun mags in the late eighties. It was by one of the old timers dont remember which one, Keith, Skelton, Cooper etc. Jist of it was that you are going to be much better off in court if you shoot a home invader or tresspasser (depending on individual state laws) with a "30-30" deer rifle than a fully decked out CQB AR or AK. While many feel they will prevail in court if the shooting is justified that only counts on one facet the verdict of the jury. The flip side is most would be finacialy ruined paying for a year long trial to prove their innocence even if found justified. Whatever you can do to seem less like a "Gun Nut" and more like an average Joe who just happens to have a deer rifle the better off you will be. Same holds true for a plain jane 12ga.

[Mr. Smith]

Thanks bro.

[Pathfinder Ops]

I once heard someone say that Lever action rifles were the original assault weapon.

And yours makes me wanna go spend more money.....

Ya Bastards!!!!!:cool:

PS- I have a Marlin 44mag that I have had since I was old enough to own my own rifle.....Yeah its been a while. It's my "hunting rifle" I have always liked it as a gun and It has NEVER failed. No FTF's, FTE's whatever.... never not once. I cannot say that about any other gun I have ever owned.

[Zhurdan]

That is a sexy beast!

Lever guns are great fun. One of the most fun rifles I've ever owned was an 1866 (repro) Yellowboy in 45LC. I could hit anything out to about 200 yards with that thing. They track and balance really well and they're just damn fun. Wish I'd stuck with the Cowboy Action shooting, but the club around here went tits up.

I'll admit though, it's weird seeing a rail on the same gun with such beautiful wood.

[Joe R.]

Well done Joe!

[IZinterrogator]

Which MRDS is that?

[glocktogo]

I love it! Which rear sight is that? It looks more robust than the XS ring on mine.

I need to take a new pic of it now that I've replaced the 7000SC with an R1.

Looks like a .45/70gov and the ammo is def. Hornaday Leverevolution.

[glockeyed]

ugh, this thread makes my wallet scream in pain!

I've liked some of the built up lever guns I've been seeing in the last couple of years. Functional and utilitarian, and legal in 50 states to boot.

Yes, I think you will be able to stop a car with that gun. ;)

Or a black bear, or an elk if it comes within range.

It's really a neat rifle. You build such thought-provoking firearms, sir. They really make me ponder, and start thinking about bank balances.....

What distance do you zero the RDS for? If I was living in Kentucky again, this would be quite a nice rifle to tote around.

Thanks again for the photos, I always enjoy looking at them.

Mr. Smith pack'em big wum-pum... :D

Many buffalo will fall... spit'in red eye devil with big smoke...

[bigghoss]

I have a marlin 336 in .30-30 that I'd like to do something like that with. very nice.

[Crawls]

That is sweet.
Please tell us the specs on the build!
I'm considering purchasing an 1895 SBL or GBL like Glocktogo, but the straight grip and lack of checkering on yours really give it that old schol cool factor.

[Hizzie]

Sweet levergun.

[panzerr]

Beautiful rifle, I bet it is fun to shoot!

[NE450No2]

Both of the Lever guns pictured look very nice and good to go.

I have a Winchester Trapper in 44 Mag that I have used as a "Road Gun" many times when traveling to [and thus from] a huning trip.
AS I most always carry a 44 Mag handgun in the field the 44 rifle can use the same ammo, making logistics easier.

Also while an AR15 might be better in a stand up fight, once you get to big game hunting country the 223 is near useless.

A 44 Mag or a 45/70 lever with the right ammo is good for any NA game for sure.

And the Lever is legal in all 50 states, and does not cause a "scare factor" if seen by other "citizens". Especially in hunting areas...

[NE450No2]

Also, unless you are in BIG Brown Bear country there is nothing wrong with the good old 30/30.
You can find ammo for it nearly ANYWHERE.

The sight is an XS with the wings installed and silver soldered in place.

The gun in the pics is a gun from 1973 so it had no checkering and was 22 inches long when I got it.

I cut it down did the sight work, rail, stock, action, CERA-KOTE, and a little love for fun.

[Mr. Smith]

Beautiful rifle, I bet it is fun to shoot!

It is fun I had it out this weekend and let some boys shoot it was all smiles

[glocktogo]

Thanks

Care to PM a quote on installing those? Would it be possible to just send the rail to save on shipping?

The gun would need to be in the shop I have to solider the sight to the gun and mod the rail to work with it.

The rear sight you have on that gun is only held in place with one screw and a stud so I like to solider the sights on the gun.

It just makes more sense to solider the sights on the big guns.

Nice work! I love the 45/70 and that would be a handy little rifle.

[west996]

Just beautiful sir.

[Mr. Smith]

Thank you Sir.

[xray 99]

Thems are big bullets. Nice gun.

[DBH]

Very cool, I need to have something like that done to my .45-70.

I can help you with that if you would like.

[DBH]

Thanks Mr. Smith. The only thing I want to add to your version is a Bonitz enlarged lever for when I wear gloves.

[Mr. Smith]

No problem just let me know what I can do to help.
