Your dream lever-gun?

[DunRanull]

That .444 Marlin is a woods/shorter range BLASTER! Don't see many in Colorado but was greatly impressed by them in the north woods- good at bucking brush and foliage...

Some years back, to accompany my Marlin lever-actioin, I went crazy and bought a Competitor Single Shot pistol chambered in 444. You don't even take 20 rounds to the range for sight-in.

Looks like Han Solo gun .

They seem to have solved the recoil problem long ago and far away.

I just noticed this when I downloaded the picture of Solo.
Lol his gun has a Hammer.

I remember reading somewhere that Han Solo's gun was made from an old 1896 Mauser...

Dam ups says gun delivered but still no call .
Probably get call tomorrow.
But I also got notice that the 45/70 ammo I ordered will be delivered tomorrow also.

Back to the Marlin 1894 CSBL/SBL ...

I think they could be much more popular, if they were more available.

The major players for me, Bud's and Davidson's, almost never have them in stock. I'm on the waiting list at both places. Davidson's shows them occasionally available, but they seem to sell immediately. I question why they'd even show them available at all, when folks like me are on a waiting list.

And I also see them available at the big stores back east. I could order them from there. but then it's that many more stores to be registered with.

Just got the call from LGS.
My gun is there.
And I got 200 rounds of the cheapest 45/70 I could find in the mail this morning.

What did that end up costing you, i have to admit, having a single shot (lever maybe too pricey for use) 45-70 sounds fun.

 

[EPS]

I plan on buying some good ammo later.
But for just ringing the steal.
This should do for now.

@CountryGent Did you ever check out the new production, possible solid functioning 12ga lever from Black Aces tactical?

LAX AMMO.
I found them thru ammo seek .
And they are out of California.
And did really fast shipping.
Six days and there was a holiday in there.

 

[EPS]

Well now that I got some ammo.
My friend at work said his dad could help me do some reloading.
And I had lunch with @HighlandLofts .
Yesterday and he said he could help me out with reloading also.

Oh my, those do look neat. And the price isn't bad either.

Demo Ranch had a couple on a month or two ago, no real attention given as the video subject was something else, but he said it was very smooth and didn't have any hangups using it.

 

[CountryGent]

They do look like fun. The pistol-grip, while not practical, is still kind of neat.

Star Wars guns are based on real guns

Solo's is a Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" pistol
Stormtroopers main blaster is a British Sterling L2A3
Rebel Alliance, especially in the battle on Hoth, carried BlasTech A295 blaster rifles based on the Sturmgewehr 44.
