THE 1886 IS ONE FINE RIFLE

[Mr. Smith]

Reminds me why I was wanting a lever-action so long ago. Very nice job.

Thank you

One of JMB best made even better. I bet it handles well.

That is one good looking lever action 45/70. Nice.

[Mr. Smith]

Regarding the part where you mentioned that you altered the LOP, how does one determine what length is ideal for a given weapon?

And is it true that a shorter LOP always means more recoil?


But that looks pretty cool, I really like the way the finish and the stock came out. I bet it must be tons of fun to shoot as well.

I love your setup. I have the 1886 in the short rifle. Did you find that the change in the butt of the stock helped the shooting characteristics? I also have a 1895SBL and I find that one a little more pleasing to shoot even though it's lighter than the 1886.

I was wondering if taking the curve out of the butt of the 1886 and putting a pad on would even things out or if the pistol grip makes that much of a difference.

Thank you in advance for any insight you might have on this.

The shorter LOP and but pad make all the difference in the world.
It makes the gun handle and shoot much better.
