Tactical Lever Action

[zoglog]

Well, I drank the cool-aid. And I love it. It is so much fun. Zero recoil. Very accurate.

Henry Big Boy X. RPP upgrades and a Holosun. Thanks to Havlin’s for putting on the handguard!

Now I just need to decide on a can for it.

After all, if you really think about lever action guns in terms of the historical time line of guns in the USA they really are the first “assault weapons” commonly used throughout our history. Gotta love JMB and Winchester way back when.

357. Now I want all the calibers!

Nice. I did my Marlin up in a similar fashion.

A face only a mother could love.
I love my Henry's, but I can't warm up to that look.

Posted before: Older Marlin 336 cut to 16.5", LOP shortened a bit, Birdsong T Green finished, Skinner tactical winged peep sights and a Burris Fastfire II. I was going to paint the stock with textured bed liner but I am on the fence about that. Only thing I need to do is attach a cartridge holder to the side.

Very pleasant to shoot and accurate.

Although I guess this might make the tacticool guys weep.

Mixed emotions for me.

I love pizza, and I like pineapple, but they don’t go together.



It’s still kind of cool though, I guess. Is my Fudd showing?

Looks great as-is IMO!

Uberti has a great 1873, 30 inch barrel, holds 18 44-40. Still just looks like an 1873 though.

Instead of painting the stock on that, I'd 100% try a shou sugi ban finish on it. I kind of wish I had tried it on my Marlin, but I really wanted a cheek riser anyway and didn't want to try to add it to the wood stock.

Don't paint the walnut with textured Bed liner on that 336 SC. Call me and we can make a switch for a glenfield 30 birch stock with factory inlays and you can paint away and attach a weapon light on it.

I like this look, but I would bet It's much heavier than the plastic stock.

Yeah, and the M16 was lighter than the M14, which was lighter than the M1 Garand. Guys that were a lot smaller (on average) than guys are now were lugging 10 lb. rifles around. That impresses the hell out of me.

Sorry for the !

Did you ever get a look at the Japanese rifles of WWII ?
Those type 99 Arisaka's are about 6' tall with bayonet attached.
Smallest stature people in the war using the longest guns.

I turned mine both into "combat cowboy carbines" with red dots, and lights...

I've been researching tacti"cool" lever actions... this increases my temptation.
