    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lever Action thread

    I'd take good wood any day. :) Most of my lever guns are old, my Dark was my first "modern" lever gun. enjoying having a threaded version and had always wanted a 45-70 so it was destined. I've got levers in 38, 3030, 32-20, 218bee, 348, and maybe others. But basically just shoot the 45-70 with...

    I have to admit that's some fine looking wood you have there. :)

    Suppressors Any DA Lazarus 6 users out there?

    I've got one that I use on 5.56 (AR15 12.5-16" barrels). I haven't shot it a lot (maybe 500 rounds?) and happy with it. I bought it with the intention of buying some sort of 6mm (ARC, Max, CM) at some point but for now happy with how it works on the 5.56. Need to get a wrap for it soon. Did a...

    which scout scope did you get? if anyone happens to have a line on the Firefly Scout scope (1.5-4x) let me know. Love my 2.5 FX-II but would like to have an illuminated dot.

    I liked the Dark but one big thing for me was the height of the comb on the stock. If you are going to run a red dot or a scope, the extra height is good. Plus being able to mount a light in the front and a scope or red dot on the pic rail was a plus.

    Suppressors Otter Creek Cease and Desist

    typically with patent lawsuits there are two options: 1) show that your product does not have the same features that are in the patent. 2) show that they should have not received the patent in the first place (lack of prior art, other products in use at the time, etc. etc). guessing the smart...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lever Action thread

    My Marlin (Ruger) Dark 45-70. Wanted a threaded rifle and a bit more "modern". I've got a bunch of older lever guns, so wanted to play with this one. Current setup has ARC X-Low rings, Leupold FX-II 2.5x Scout scope, Timney trigger (with the OE spring), Dead Air Primal, and Emissary handbrake...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lever Action thread

    Nice! I've got a 94 in 32WS with a Lyman 21 (Climbing Ladder) on it, but need the sight is in parts (been that way since I got it) and need to figure out how to put it back together. 1923 production.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lever Action thread

    I shoot my 45-70 though a Dead Air Primal (sealed can). I cast for it but also powder coat my bullets. So far zero issues and I don't see there being any issue. I also cast 150gr 9mm hp subs and shoot those though a DA Ghost so I can take it apart and look around but no lead and no fouling of...

    Suppressors Suppressed Contenders anyone

    I have often wanted a 22lr or 300bo threaded contender barrel for back yard plinking. Sounds like the best option is to purchase a barrel that is already threaded (vs. trying to find someone to thread m existing 22lr barrel). Ditto a 22 hornet with a fast twist barrel and chambered to shoot...

    Vortex 1-10

    one thing I am waiting on that might be "similar" would be something like the EoTech 3-9x32 with a red dot for close up work. Small, light, compact, and if they built a 3-10x32 or even a 4-12 compact with illumination, FFP and the right reticle (and good glass, I haven't read much about the...

    Henry SPD Hush vs Marlin Dark 1895

    I have thought of looking for another 71 just to do a conversion to 500 Alaskan but I don't really shoot my 348 much either, so I put it on the back burner. and as mentioned, I think a 500S&W lever gun would be fun. Big Horn Armory is doing some cool stuff. Maybe with the SBR and NFA tax going...

    Henry SPD Hush vs Marlin Dark 1895

    I've had my Marlin (Ruger) Dark for a bit over a year now. 45-70. running a dead air primal on it, put a Leupold FX-II 2.5x scout scope on it with low ARC M10 rings, Timney trigger. Really like it, shoot mostly cast/powder coated 340-500gr subs. Never have had any issues with mine. I've got a...

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    Typical thickness of a M-LOK handguard?

    Not sure i've seen an actual spec from Magpul but I assume there is one out there. The majority of the rails out there from main brands are 2.5-3mm thick. There are a few that are quite a bit thicker (MDT is one) where they are not concerned with weight. Most that I have are closer to 2.5mm...
