“…lever-action rifles… are among my favorite types…”
that doesn’t really narrow it down much. especially if you like them all.
my big one came with a rail. looks horrible; leavin’ it on there for a burris 3x.
the little one has a skinner peep.
they both could use a leather butt cuff.
nah to the rest,

There should always been room for the “modernization”, the “updated”, the new and “improved”.

You still use an iron forge. If you want to. To make a gun. And cut the tree yourself.
And then hand carve the stock.

Or you can use all the technology in the 21st to make a gun.

In reply to Geoff PR. If they have a polymer tip they are ok. I have never seen a pointy .30-30 round myself. Don't know if anyone makes such a thing. I assume that the shell holder just makes them look like spritzers. I own a Marlin 1895 carbine with the gold trigger. Love it. My concern with this build is taking a light handy carbine and adding a bunch of weight to it.

Ultimate, and it’s not threaded?

And, aren’t spire-points and centerfire ammo a no-no in tubular magazine firearms???
