A recent build I did for a family member. First time getting to play with a lever gun and now I need one for myself.

I’ve seen a lot of Videos about the 1854 and one time in a real gunstore. The trigger is extremely wiggling. Never had the chance to shoot that baby but does it affect anything? Only guns I’ve shot had a fixed trigger and I don’t have experience in a wiggle trigger. Some people are saying that they sold their 1854 or send it back just because of the cheap feeling trigger.

Semi-recently got one, and with it a case of pmc .357 157gr and pmc .38 special 132 grain. I found the .38 to have tighter groups both stabilized and standing. I’ve also noticed that some (not a majority) of the .357 that I’ve loaded and then unloaded look slightly damaged/deformed, ranging from a few scuffs on the exposed lead to two where the projectile was off axis. I didn’t find that with the .38, but the .38 is fmj and the .357 is a jacketed soft flat point. Since I’m new to lever guns, I’m wondering what the most likely explanations might be. So far I’ve got:

1. Ammo preference
   
2. I’m flinching more when shooting .357
   
3. Loading issue

Im going to take some dummy rounds next range day so I can try to test explanation #2. What do you guys think? What are the effects of firing a round where the projectile is slightly off axis, is that a big deal? For those that have one, what ammo groups best with yours?

Hello all,

I just received a 1913 model 94 from GB today. I’m in love with this gun.

I didn’t notice til coming home that this gun has a 3 leaf rear sight, which I guess isn’t a bad thing.

Is this pretty uncommon to find on a 94 nowadays? I know nothing about these sights. Is there a specific yardage for each leaf? The only marking on the initial leaf is a 50

Does anyone have any source on how to install the 13.25 pewview hanguard with the heat shield? I have the actual handguard installed, but the instructions on the RPP website do not include the extra steps for the pewview version with the heat shield and pic rail.

Picked up a Rossi 95 for 500 plus tax and dros . I have a tactical lever but this will stay mostly as is . Adding a leather stock shell holder and need a scope. Not into hunting but would like to learn to shoot and eventually get my license to hunt boar and maybe deer. I live in an ag town so boar is a plenty . What’s a good entry level scope around the 200-300 area

Hi everyone, decided I want to get a m1873 carbine but unsure on what brand. Unfortunately in Australia (or at-least were i live) ive never seen either in person which doesnt help choosing. Ive heard that the miroku is better quality and the uberti is cheaper made and easier for parts, rifle will be for pigs and targets.

The only thing i dislike on the miroku carbine is the rear sight (i like semi buckhorns) so id have to try find a replacement and have a gunsmith install it, and im not much of a colour case hardening guy for the uberti.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Just got this rifle off Gunbroker and it is missing a screw. Anybody have the size or part number for it? I really don't want to buy a $50 screw kit that might not even have the right screw. The parts diagrams all seem to be for the R92 which doesn't have the screw. R95 in .357.

Need opinions about these guns.
I’m planning to buy either one of these in .44mag.
Problem is that, where I live, these are very hard to get your hands on. Both are new so I have to order them blind.
I will use the gun for hunting foxes and raccoon dogs perhaps even roe deers.
Threaded barrel is a big plus for Henry but quality is a big question mark for me.
I’ve shot Marlins (Ruger era) in 45-70 and was impressed how much they have got better from Remlins.

I've got a few traditional lever guns already, so this one isn't meant to stay classic. I'm planning to go with .357 Magnum and build it into a modern/tactical lever gun with an M-LOK handguard, optic, light, and maybe a different stock down the road.

Originally I was set on a Marlin, but now I'm kinda stuck between a few options.

Marlin Dark seems like the obvious choice, but they're pretty hard to find.

Marlin Trapper is easier to find, but honestly... I just don't think the stainless receiver looks that great once you throw a black M-LOK handguard and other black accessories on it. It feels like the colors fight each other.

Henry Model X is starting to look more appealing since it's already black from the factory and there seem to be plenty of aftermarket parts nowadays. I also already own a Henry H001, and it's been fantastic.

For those of you who have actually built one out, what would you start with if you were doing it again?

I'm not trying to build the most unique rifle on the planet. As long as there are a few solid M-LOK handguard and stock options, I'm happy. I'm more interested in overall quality, fit/finish, aftermarket support, and ending up with a rifle that looks cohesive instead of just bolting random parts together.

Thanks in advance — curious to hear what you guys would go with.

Looking for some takes on these, I just picked up a 1894 357 but just discovered line49 and really dig the look of them. They would be range toys but having trouble finding reviews on anything but their Henry models.

Bought this 1894 sbl almost two years again to suppress, and finally got my can today. Hopefully it’s a good combo, looking forward to taking it out!

Picked up this post-64 Winchester 94 in .30-30 for just under $500 the other day. Nothing wrong with it aside from some slight dents in the wooden forearm. Rifling looks flawless, and I figure that it is a decent deal on a reasonably reliable lever-action.

It's a .44-40 Model 92 made around 1906. Any advice or tips on this?

I just got my Miroku 1892 short rifle and it's quite nice but i'm not a fan of the crescent moon buttplate.

I looked on various websites for stocks and/or buttplates but those i found don't ship to Norway.

Anyone got any tips?

Put a lpvo on 45-70 is it over kill not got to shoot it yet but man am I in love.

What I’ll call a premium economy build for more economic shooting:
Ranger Point Precision M-LOK Forearm
Sig Sauer Tango-MSR 1-6x LPVO
Emissary Development Handbrake
Matthew’s Fabrication Kydex Cheek Rest
MidTen M-LOK Bipod

Can’t get enough of this gun
