Re: School me on lever action rifles!
No pictures but my lever gun stable includes:
1952 Marlin 336RC .35 rem.
Marlin '92 .22LR - I haven't dated this one but I know my Great Uncle was toting this around the Texas/Oklahoma oil fields in the '20-30's
Sako FinnWolf .308 - also undated but acquired by my dad in the mid-70's.

Re: School me on lever action rifles!
I actually like the look of the semi pistol grip as well. Nothing against the straight stock. But given the choice, the semi pistol grip is going to be it.
Now I'm wondering if i should go for the long ranger instead of something like a 38/357. Cost of ammo isn't substantially different. Although i can shoot it in less places. Decisions decisions.
I have limited space so unfortunately, i can't have one of each.

Re: School me on lever action rifles!
I have several lever guns. 44 magnum, 3030, 270 and two 45 lc mares legs.
Haven't shot any of them yet.troll Free. It's all in your mind.

Re: School me on lever action rifles!
Oh it definitely will. Even loading rounds into a tight Marlin gate will compress bullets on rounds that aren't tightly crimped/pressed. I've seen it happen with .38 special Freedom Munitions. The bullets get pressed completely into the cartridge. Luckily they likely won't feed in that condition, so the likelihood of blowing something up is reduced. But certainly something to be careful of.

Re: School me on lever action rifles!
Total fun gun. And i can get out to 100 yards locally. Beyond that isn't impossible, but very unlikely it will happen often.
The same argument could be made for an ar15 only getting out to 100 yards. But again, fun gun. Sure, 308 or 6.5 would be total overkill, but the 5.56/223 wouldn't really be and i already have the ammo anyway.
I think I've got a lot of thinking to do about how much i intend to shoot it.
What somebody really needs to do is make a takedown lever action in a pistol caliber. I'd be all in.
