Back on topic, the lever action with a King's Gate is the "assault rifle" of its day. I'm not into the carbon fiber furniture.

Daytona Beach gave me a whole new appreciation of chaps during bike week.
no 45/70 no care...
Ive got some rounds for my 45/70 that are like 450g with a copper base/hard cast lead. I think they are ~2k at the muzzle. I think its like 4000ft. lbs. at the muzzle... its a fucking wallop thats for sure.
Guy once told me 45/70 would take down anything in North America...including cars and trucks.

Alaska was my first thought. Maybe a little bit lighter to pack around while I'm fishing because you know if you are fishing, so are da bears. I use to carry a 12 gauge with first round 00 followed with slugs strapped across my back. I've even had it shouldered just praying the bear wanted to keep walking up the river instead of taking what's mine.
Frank bring the toys to KS we have a horse your size.
a gas checked hard cast can go pretty good.
Look at bullets from Montana bullet works if you wanna push em. Proper "mix" and heat treated to have a non brittle Brinell hardness you want to crush bone.
Top end folks and really love their stuff. Sold a few years back and last I knew the new owners were kicking but the same as the old.
That gun is cool, but NO WAY is he shooting full house 45/70 in it and running it like that.
Likely some light weight stuff loaded with trail boss.
I can make mine recoil like an AR15 with some 300g hard cast and trail boss powder puff loads.
Its fun to take some of those and some full house loads to the range and play "break your shoulder roulette"... reach in the bag and take your chances.
Change the BB to LL and this could be a road-trip to Rifles Only…. 
Was just there over the weekend. It was cold AF, for Florida at least. Definitely going back next year when they replace the DPI cars with the LMDH cars.
I gots me an Osprey
I feel assless chaps in my future

……and spurs, don’t forget the spurs!
Mad Pig Customs. The buttstock is from Chisled Manufacturing. Handguard is Midwest Industries. SilencerCo Osprey can.
The gun world equivalent of this:
Not for everyone’s taste, but undeniably cool as shit.
I been trying to build this for quite a while now. Mad pig is the guy who does these types of custom works. My biggest issue right now is finding the base model marlin 336 to build off from.
I'm having to wait right now for ruger to come out with the new lever actions and maybe then I'll be able to build one.

Don't be a pussy. That rifle is too heavy.
You need this:
Yes, it's a 45-70.
It broke the red dot I had on top.
Waiting on a new optic.
405s will make your nose run.
nope... no I do not... LOL
Wait one minute! I drive my wife’s Porsche SUV…..Do you like ladies with piles of tattoos, ear gauges, a septal bull ring, and pink hair with the sides of their heads shaved?
cause thats what this is in a firearm.
May as well drive a Porsche "SUV" while your at it.
You didnt go Vegan too, did did ya Frank?
At least I don’t have tattoos, ear gauges, etc…..
Looking to do something similar with a Henry X Model 30-30. Ranger Point Precision is taking preorders for a buttstock and they make a very nice hand guard.
Already own a brass Henry 45-70, so I feel I am within my right to do something "Sacrilege" to a lever gun.

I have to figure out a caliber and then Marlin or Henry
45-70 would be the Copper Hammer
But I am curious to some other calibers out there

The rifle you posted is a Marlin 1894 so it’s not a chambered 45-70. If you want one in 45-70 you want a marlin model 1895.
45 Colt or 44 Mag would be my first choice in the 94

Marlin for sure,Henery has a time and a place
I would get the new Ruger made 1895 in 45-70.
Threaded barrel, takes the mlok rail from midwest.etc. Have it cerakoted and you would be GTG.

I'm not seeing a problem... We all have our tastes in things. I like the gun, and the women (not big on the shaved sides of the head, but the rest is a GO!).

Cause Im normal!
Look at the part circled in yellow.
This is an 1894, in 25-20.
Note the covered ejection port.
A 336, or 1895 has the bolt visible.
Like this:
I'm wondering if that particular rifle is modified to shoot the 350 L.

Couple friends of mine, on Maryland's eastern shore where they are now allowed (well, by county) to hunt white tail with straight walls, have 444 Marlin and have been fairly successful with it.How about the .444 Marlin?
Unertl isn’t period correct so I’ll raise you one better, straight stock with the heavy octagon and the original long range sights.
Was that built for you by C Sharps or did you get yours second hand like I did with my Shiloh?

I got it in a trade from a guy I know. Still need to get the rear tang sight, just haven’t decided which version I want to go with. It’s brand new, unfired though. I have some 405g cast bullets to try out one day
Take a look at Arrowhead rifles, they make a high BC 307gr .458 bullet that would be perfect for some long shots out of that thing.
307gr 458cal Arrowhead XLD (CENTERFIRE) - Arrowhead Rifles
Copper jacket and lead core composition specifically designed for use in center fire rifles (45/70, etc)

I used to have a marlin 336 C .
It was very accurate for a lever action with round nose ammo.
Made my buddies with Winchesters cry.
With the new lever action ammo available it would have been even more fun.
300 Blackout? It would be .30-30, 7.62x39 balistics or subsonic and suppressor.
I saw a .44mag option that sounds kinda cool, maybe with Dangerous Game Solids
Boom
The 30-30 definitely appeals to me from an unknown location as I have no clue about these rounds

The Henry looks like a good starting place
Or you can do 30-30 or the 45-70

I like 45-70 for it. What a fast Alaskan bush gun with all the ass you’ll need
