So I ordered me a gun last night.

[Crixus]

My AR is really beat up and is in need of a serious rebuild and refit so she is in drydock for awhile. Seems I shot most of the chrome out of the barrel. Anyway, I went with something a bit more mundane for my new general purpose rifle.

Not fancy, mag dumps will be boring, but it will do. The sights suck ass so I will put this one or one like it on there

 

[Crixus]

Oh, also got a brass bead for the front. Caliber will be .45 Colt. Been meaning to do that one for years.

 

[Intolerant]

Nice looking Marlin.

/——/ jealous of family and friends down in the Carolinas who can buy, sell and shoot freely. In the People’s Republic of New York it’s extremely difficult to have anything more than a scatter gun.

Now all you need is a bump stock for it!

I got dies instead. Fun little fun though. Shot up a bunch of cowboy action type loads. Thing is a real nice shooter. May try a hog with it here soon.

I didn't know Marlins had octagon barrels.

I'm wondering if that's a Marlin 336, not really familiar with the pistol cal. levers other than the Henry rifles. I'm wondering if you have a specific purpose in mind... I'm sure a .45CL out of a long barrel like that would make a nice brush deer rifle... Congrats on your rifle btw!

I don't understand the fascination with lever rifles. Difficult to shoot from prone, dangerous tube mag, and worst of all they hurt. The centrefire one I tried hurt to open the lever, hurt to close the lever, hurt to squeeze the trigger, hurt on recoil. Admittedly it may have been a Winchester. You can call me a nut but I'm stuck on bolts.

U should take it up in 'General Discussion' you'll see my OP post there. Lots of great advice esp. for something as basic as what U're presenting... Lots of advancements on levers, for instance, Hornady Leverevolution cartridges. If' U want to delve in, put something up on this thread... Guns guns & more guns - reviews & news from USMB members' sage wisdom & time tested experiences...

But I commented on the style of rifle purchased here on this thread. My points have not been addressed.

 

[Marion Morrison]

That's a nice-looking gun. I've never owned a levergun.

I know to get a Marlin, though.

 

[cnm]

Nice sight. Don't think I'd go for a bead with it. A post, fer shure. What sight picture do you envisage?

Not difficult at all, you just need to learn how to do it correctly. As far as hurting go's, I think it is once again operator error. Leverguns are quick, accurate, and when chambered in handgun calibers are very docile.

So, not easy, then. I'm sure there's a word for that.

He stated "correctly".

Yes, when you do it correctly it is easy. In the prone position you tilt the rifle to the side and the ever operates quite easily, then you rotate it back down and you get your second shot off much quicker than with a bolt gun. Marlins are far superior to Winchesters, but both are quite handy.

Nothing boring about a lever rifle.
