I have been patiently waiting for this. Hopefully they will also have some wood furniture renditions as well because those are hideous.

 

[bbbass]

Well,they ain't pretty...

Would love the 45-70 if they put some wood furniture on it!!

Man they almost had it....messed it up really bad though ....and they ain't exactly the best looking. not fond of a down turned wrist on a lever gun personally.

Maybe we should start protesting so we can get what we want!!!

Wood...
Would they put wood...
Oh lovely strong and straight grain...
Or perhaps a curly figure , means more to one's brain...
Wood , if they only could....

Good wood? Or are you ok with synthetic?

 

[Red98422]

I think nearly everyone likes the receiver and the barrel....however most of us want the stock to go back to TapCo where it came from....could be worse though, anybody remember this abomination from Mossberg?

Its gotta be real good wood....'cause you know I am a traditionalist....
( And yeah I know where both of my posts will end up at.... )

Interesting they went with 5/8x24 on the 357.

Big Boy X Model | Henry Repeating Arms

Creating the mold and then breaking out of it is something that we take great pride in. It’s how we progress and continue pushing the boundaries of what lever actions are capable of. The Big Boy X Model does just that and marks an evolutionary step in a product line with quite the pedigree...

Well if you look at the specs they did get one thing right. The twist rates are all appropriate for heavy for caliber bullets . But that furniture, where is the throw up emoticon ?

 

[Andy54Hawken]

All my funning aside ...

I do find the idea of no barrel bands on a lever action carbine , intriguing....as many folks say that the barrel bands and tightness of the barrel band screws will affect accuracy.

I do like idea of these rifles and understand the use of the synthetic stocks..as well as the appeal of them to a market.
That said... I think a wood stocked model would sell as well...

[Jonnyuma]

O yeah... that's unattractive..

 

[UnionMillsNW]

I understand the market for these rifles, but like some other forum members I'd only be interested if the stock was wood.

An AR looks great in black with rails.

A lever gun is at home with some nice walnut.

Taking the lever gun into the future... a timeless classic. This kinda reminds me of the 1911, doing the same thing. Those are nice rifles, a friend has an older one and is kicking himself for not waiting another year for the sideloader.

Oh, you mean the, "Road Warrior" special ?

 

[Certaindeaf]

Rather have the Ruger pc9 takedown.

I have a strong preference for wood furniture also, especially on lever actions and muzzle loaders. I would have thought that even laminated would have been a good compromise, if you're going for durability.
