Those are so much fun. Is yours threaded? A suppressor brings the noise down to merely deafening.
Not threaded. I want it with classy look.

Very Nice! Love my Big Horn 500S&W. Is that how long the wait time is up to on them?

Is that a mare's leg?
No
Yes that long. They experience parts shortages from suppliers. It took 2 extra months to get firing pin for my gun.

Boy howdy, I like how you think! Have thought such a carbine would be great since the first I became aware of the .50 S&W...
Seriously fwiw, I'd consider some kind of suppressor on that for hunting... Obviously tho, it's your rifle and your decision...
Nice little pistol caliber carbine either way!

Huh? They came threaded from the factory. I bought a Bowers vers50 for use with the 500s&w. It isn't like I bubba'd a classic. I got custom lever guns.
It's not like suppressed lever guns are new.

After watching this video, I'm thinking a 358 Winchester would be ideal in a lever gun
Sadly, the cartridge has just about sunset, though it can still be had new in a BLR. You can occasionally find one in a Savage 99.

I will take the whelen any day of the week over the 358. To me there is a significant performance difference.

You could use the same argument for almost all the classic lever gun cartridges from 30-30 to 45-70. I'll agree that the Whelen is the superior 35 cartridge, but lever guns chambered for it are rare. While the 358 has less power, it is still very effective and a good match for a lever gun.
