Well, it was a sad day two weeks ago when I had to sell my AR to pay for a move. Hog hunting opportunity came up recently so I was in desperate need for a rifle. Dad gave me one of his Winchester 94's and I went to town. Total cost of this renovation was $60 including the scabbard! Why? I was bored, this kept me occupied, it was cheap, and it looks plain cool.
- Youth Synthetic stock found on gunbroker for $35. - Shotgun scabbard for $25 - Paracord wrap I had lying around $0 - Skateboard tape I had lying around $0 - Rail section I had lying around $0 - Nylon ammo carrier I had lying around $0 
Gonna pick up some of these: 
watch out hogs! |

Best part is that it would take like 10 minutes to put it back to stock if I needed to.

Not as bad as i thought when i saw the title. I have plastic stocks on a .45 Trapper. It looks similar to those, –– i prefer the looks of wood, but i gotta admit, the darn thing is super light and easy to carry with the plastic on

It is a Thompson Center Buttstock Shell carrier http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=TC7071 They will hold your rounds better then anything else out there on the market, the bioflex allows you to seat a round in there as loose or as tight as you want. Trust me you could throw your rifle off a cliff and they would not come loose if you put them in there tight enough. It comes in 3 sizes for pistol, medium and large rounds. It's also just as cheap as those crappy nylon shell holders you find in your regular gun shops. |

If you think about it, the leveraction rifle was the first "assault rifle". Rapid fire, large magazine capacity, eaisly reloaded. Heck, if they'd made them with black wood, the EBR might have been so designated a hundred years earlier.
Mine's not exactly tacticool, but if I need all five rounds of 45-70 to stop anything that walks this earth, I'm in need of an air strike and extraction.

It will greatly decrease the bruises you can get while reloading. |

Years of working with my hands both for work and play have made them tuff, scared and generally capable of handling that chore without complaint. Though I must admit, the loading gate used to slice up my thumb sometimes, till I stoned off the sharp edges on the loading port and gate. |

There is one glaring error in that article. It states the 45-7- was "designed for large game". Completely false. The 45-70 was adopted by the United States Army in 1873. It was designed as an antipersonnel round, pure and simple. While some of today's loadings are capable of taking anything that walks this earth, it's original purpose was to kill humans.

this is really making me wanna get a lever gun again. I'd go the pistol caliber route. just unsure which would be best. practicality tells me .357 mag, being me tells me 454 casull, and the middle of the road doesn't sound bad either(44 mag). hmmm which would you run? I reload so ammo isn't that big of a deal. and I like the ability of using companion lower power loads. ie. 38 special/.357, 44 special/44 mag, 45LC/454 casull.

Quoted: This is just me, but I like .357 just because shooting .38 Special from a rifle has next to no recoil and you can shoot all day without getting a sore shoulder, and it's not much louder than a .22 magnum.this is really making me wanna get a lever gun again.

I ususally tell guys to go into your local gun shop/sporting goods store and see what they typically have on the shelf and then see what the cost is for plinking rounds. Then compair the cost of those rounds. Go with the one that gives you the least amount of heartburn. Since you have stated that you are reloader, then the floor is wide open to you. I usually recomend that you stay with the primers that you shoot the most (if your primary handgun round is a small primer round then I would say stick with the .357/.38spl if you are a large primer guy then stick go .44/.45 (you may also find that your primary pistol powder will work with your level gun round too)). I also cast my .45LC boolits which makes it even more cost effective. I would say if you cast then I would consider the .44slp/.44mag, or.45LC. If you are going to buy your projectiles then go .38/.357. |
