Lever /g/uns General

Very nice. .44mag is great out of a lever gun. The ballistics boost from the longer barrel is like going super saiyan compared to a revolver.

>>32359263
Very well.

>>32359273
This. My uncle's go-to gun was a Marlin in .44 mag.

I have a rossi 92 in 357.

What should I get as my next lever fun?

44 mag Marlin or 45/70 lever.

I am considering getting a Henry Big Boy Steel in .357mag of a Marlin M1895CB. Recommendations?

>>32360768
Depends if you have revolver ammo. The .357 mag would be economical if you have .357/.38 already.

Rossi ranch hand in .45 colt with a almost full stock. Was shooting some 300 grain +p last week and damn does that have some power, this is my brush gun

>>32360469
45 colt and get +p rounds, can easily overpower 44 magnum, and shoot cowboy loads for fun

anyone got any tips as to different better sights. kinda want something besides a buckhorn.

>>32360853
Marbles sights are very good. I use the bullseye rear sight

>>32360853
Skinner sights give you an aperture.

>>32360778
I have a little bit of reloading supplies for 45/70 but I have a ton supplies for .357/.38 and a S&W model 66. Plus i already have a .357 Rossi rifle with a 24in barrel. I am mainly looking for something i can easily but a scout scope on and this is more handy. So I think i am gonna get the Henry sooner but I am really looking to get into a 45/70 down the road.

>>32360768
I've shot my dad's 1895CB. Hell of a gun. Best lever gun setup IMO: loading gate on a barrel length mag tube, and side ejection port.

>>32360893
I'd get a .45-70 govt marlin. It would be pretty easy to mount a scout scope and it would be diversify your lever and revolver gat collection.

Is marlin unfucked yet

>>32361103
Yes

>>32361103
Yep, love my 1894.

Grandpa's .35 Rem 336S. Serial makes it look like a 1950 build. Trigger crisp as fuck and lever still has great feel to the action.

Only needed a new buttplate because the original was broken.

Is there a good lever action shotgun that's poorfag approved?

I dont wanna start a new thread for this so I'll just post it on some "general thread"

I don't know much about firearms beyond nerding out over mechanical aspects. Only ever shot 22LR on a sportrange a few times.

But to my point:
I just watched Ian's "thumb trigger model" video and I am AMAZED by the technical simplicity of that rifle. Even given it has no magazine, it accomplishes a lot with a simple concept.

Why didn't more guns use thumb triggers? why is the concept so unheard of? normally Ian talks about that stuff when presenting weird and obscure weapons
And with regards to the modern renaissance of selfbuilt/minimalist weapons due to 3D printing, will we see maybe a rise in these as a rifle-version of the Liberator?

>>32362932
>Not very safe
>Also not very sturdy
>Was a one try thing, totally alien to today's market
>Looks weird af, pretty disgusting if you ask me

It would sell terribly and offers basically no advantage to a standard trigger.

>>32361722
This. I came into this thread to find a lever shotgat for cowboy oper8ions.

>>32359263
Does it jam if you work the action fast?

All I want is a fucking 1886 in .45-70 gubbmint. A Miroku one.

Fuck.

>>32363670
OP here, not at all as far as I can tell.

>>32361722
>>32362981
I have a PW87, it cycles things quick. The only downside is that the handguard screws bend and snap if you fire a lot of slugs and buck out of it.

For self defense/plinking/hunting how does a 38/357 lever action compare to one in 30-30?

Rossi M92 .357

>>32359263
You know it was a steal at that price, if true.

Only problem is it may have the shitty 1:38" twist rate, which can cause accuracy issues with the heavier bullets.

Anyone rec a good all around scope for a Marlin 336c? Looking for something for deer and hog hunting that isn't a ton of $.

>>32367955
Tasco makes good scopes for the money. I have some random $50 scope from them on my 30-30 and it holds up great innawoods

>>32367955
A Leupold VX-1 2-7x33 is a pretty good option. Only $200 at Cabelas, and should sit pretty well above the hammer.

If that's still too much the Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32 is $85.

You can always just go into the stores and shop around, but generally with a max range around 300m and optimum max closer to 150 you don't really need a lot of zoom, and the bigger the lens, the higher you have to put it over the bore, and since you have a hammer, you have to be sure it's not slapping the scope. The fixed 4x Bushnell my Grandpa put on his ( >>32361154 ) has maybe a millimeter of clearance at most, and is a 1.5"/38.1mm Objective.

reminds me of loading 40mm grenades from the muzzle of a launcher

> slam it in too hard and it goes off taking your hand with it

:shudders:


Now if the trigger was a button on the side of the stock/grip so that you could just push it (similar to a mag release button)...

You keep that safe by having another button on the other side that enables the trigger (if dropped or bumped into anything its not going to fire, would have to be just as weird a circumstance as it would be to get a normal trigger hung up on something despite the trigger guard).

>>32368973
I have one with a 24 inch octagonal barrel, it is really nice and shoots great. It has been 100% reliable. The only issue i had is that one screw comes loose after i shoot a few hundred rounds through it.

All lever guns come from the factory with a stiff loading gate that needs to be loosened up. Feed and run it a few time and they loosen up and after that they work fine.

This is one of my favourite rifles, it's size and power and unbeaten for what you get. Only thing I have to do to this rifle is match the fore end and stock to the same colour, and attach some kind of sling system as I do not care for my scabbard with a stock on the rifle.

>>32360905
Pretty much all Marlin Levergats are exactly like that. At least my 336 is.

>>32359263
As long as it was in good condition, you did damn well. Feed it the meanest .44mag loads you can find and it will a handy brush gun.

>>32359263
Looks like one of those pieces of Post-'64 shit.

>>32360793
Forget the .357. No matter how hot you load it, it will always be anemic for a long gun.

>>32370043
Get out of here badger.

>>32368303
Marlin? How much do you love it

>>32370043
While .357 excels in a rifle length barrel, it does not have the power of .44magnum or .45 colt no matter how hot, just not a large enough bullet. I'd go with .44 magnum if you do not reload and .45 colt if you do reload. My friend has an old marlin in .45 colt and he reloads some rounds that are very similar to lighter .454 loads, hotter than you could load any .44 magnum to

>>32370043
>.30 call bullet traveling 2,000+fps

To hunt deer with that particular Uberti, you'd need to get it in .45 LC and use a powerful loading. Last thing you want is a wounded animal running off and dying of sepsis.

>>32378258
Aren't you basically stuck with just break-action shotguns licensed solely for hunting?

XS sight that comes with the 1895SBL rifle. The aperture is really big, which is nice for close up and surprisingly accurate at moderate distances. I like it quite a bit, though I want to get a slightly smaller aperture

Personally, I think the Marlin 336 is a better design. Less clockwork in the mechanism, beefier receiver, and designed from day one for a scope.

How is the 329pd treating you? I just got a 629-4 4" and the recoil is stout. I can't imagine how the scandium frame handles.

>>32380181
It's definitely sharp. It's not so much the recoil energy as the recoil velocity that's the doozy. I only got a few dozen rounds 44mag rounds through it with the wood grips the first time I was out. Haven't tried with the rubber grip but I think it'll really help, especially because it has that high padding for the web of your hand.
