.357 or other pistol caliber lever gun

[YALE]

Yep; I clean to the bare metal on every gun that I own after each use. I normally use wipe-out or butch's bore shine.

Cool. I still wouldn't be afraid to shoot jacketed .357 or .45 Colt out of a lever gun. This is Tanner, anyway. He rents guns worse than I do.

Do you even use a copper solvent, bro?

Plano pawn has the short barrel Rossi repeaters in .45 LC for about $450. I think that is a decent price from what few I have seen for sale. I would like to own one of the Henry repeaters in .44 mag.

Jacketed bullets do not go down a barrel very easily as compared to a cast bullet. If you are shooting jacketed bullets they need to be loaded HOT and even then you are going to get a bullet stuck in a barrel at some point.



It shouldn't cause a problem but it does. Shoot enough factory jacketed plinking ammo and you will have a bullet not leave the barrel one day.

What?

Even a low power .38 special shouldn't cause a squib. You'd have to have some cowboy 200fps wadcutter load to even MAYBE cause a squib.

Every time a lever gun thread comes up I renew my desire to SBR my .45-70 1895GS and put a can on it.

I love mine in .450 marlin....but love scaring people at the range with the sound!!!

Bighorn Armory makes one. Want me to look into it?

Last time I checked they are ridiculously expensive... and not threaded for a suppressor if I'm not mistaken.

[YALE]

I was thinking .500 magnum, but that's the Yale inside me saying that. Really a .452 projectile would be a much better choice for reloading components, cases, and suppressors. A 500 magnum in a rifle would be awful. I would never, ever want to shoot that.

As in 45-70, perhaps? Do eeeet.

[helosailor]

yep, familiar with that one. I've always wanted a suppressed lever gun, but I want to make it a heavy hitter. Maximum weight.

Didn'y you have a pic a while back CJ of Teddy Roosevelts supressed lever action he used to shoot stuff around the White House?

It had a maxim suppressor on it offset to use the factory iron sights. He used around his personal house.
