.357 or other pistol caliber lever gun

Absolutely. If the coefficient of friction is high enough you could stop it in a much shorter distance then 8". If you ever care to meet me at a range I will gladly demonstrate that just about any bullet can can cease all forward movement in a distance equal to the length of the projectile no matter how fast it is travailing.

Details? All logic says it's bs unless you're bore isn't true or some other strange non standard factor.

Right on.

You really believe that an extra 8" of barrel can decelerate a bullet from 1200+ fps to 0?

What did the State Dept. say?

They say "Yes" on a daily basis. This ain't my first rodeo. I have left the country on a plane with firearms and have come back into the country with firearms several times before. You just need to have a professional do a little paper work for you ahead of time.

My clients daughter manages a 6 million acre game preserve in Tanzania and handles the paper work about getting firearms into the country on a weekly basis; she told me that it will not be a problem. I had planned on using a spear, the gun is a personal back up only.

They made some Winchester 92's in .45ACP, you only have to change a few things.

Crazy!

The tube mag would be the biggest problem. The feeding mechanism stops the cases with the rim.

Way to ruin Tanners thread guys!

Has anyone ever made a .45ACP lever gun? I always thought that would be interesting. It would make for a pretty high capacity tube gun.

Yes, duh.

Add and extra 8" to the barrel length and it just sometimes happens.

Best performance out of a 16" barrel. How is that possible if there's so much resistance that it should completely stop the bullet?

You are going to likely have issues getting a handgun into Africa. Much less the ph is what the backup is.

^^^^^

I am not afraid either. I was just pointing out that a lot of factory .38spl and .357mag ammo was not loaded with a 18"-24" barrel in mind and it causes problems. Shoot enough of it and you will see what I am talking about. When I still owned a .44spl/.44mag lever rifle and a .38spl/.357mag lever rifle I was very careful about what I shot in it; but it seemed pointless after I compared a 30/30 load to even the hottest .44mag load.

so every gun will do it?

Yes. Don't you read?

I have seen the movie but I did not remember what the things were called.

I am not trolling. The "mostly" edit is because I shoot more paper then living creatures but plan on taking a Cape Buffalo in the next year or two and want the revolver for back up.
