Another levergun on the bench

[p_ham]

Ok! Update time. Not moving as quickly as I'd like to be, work, family and whatnot.

Got the barrel tenon cut and threaded.


Here you can see that the next step will be cutting the hood and extractor groove.


With the barrel torqued I mark the hood for the extractor location.


Once all the clearance cuts are made the new chamber will be cut in. Have we settled on a cartridge yet?

You do beautiful work. Love these just love these threads.

This is very interesting!!
Maybe a .454?

 

[RealMuddyboots]

Ok, a really big SWAG; .445 Super Mag?

Look @ the bore diameter on the stainless barrel compared to the blued barrel.

257 Roberts?

Love me some 25 calibers!!
I only have 6 of them.
Getting a hankering to get a magnum donor & build the 25-350 Rem Mag.

Something to make the 25-06 & 25WSSM look anemic.

Can you imagine how fast @noharleyyet would get his wallet out for a .257 Roy LEVERGUN???

 

[EastTNHunter]

One of the coolest and most overlooked lever cartridges ever

my wallet would be emptied if Browning ever released either a 25-06 or 257 roy BLR

Wishing out loud here. Rechamber to 308mx, 7:08 if it can handle the pressure, otherwise 7:30 Waters. Octagon? Shorten the magazine tube to just a few inches ahead of the forearm. Tru Glo front sight, peep or ghost ring rear on rail, low rise see through mounts, long eye relief pistol or shotgun scope, Scout mounted (old Widefields are toot sweet). Case harden receiver. Larger loop, improve trigger, extended hammer spur, delete button safety if so equipped. Slimmed forend w slight beavertail. Brass tacks tastefully arrayed on furniture. . .

So it can handle the pressure, which would be 30-30ish. @p_ham, you mad, impetuous genius!

MIGHT work in a Winchester '95...

The gun so ugly only a mother, or a guy that named his dog John Moses Browning, could love.

Better looking than a BLR

You want to see a picture of my dog, Moses?

If not a 25 caliber, at least it's a 7mm.

I'm surprised there's not a huge outcry because you didn't chamber in in Manbun!!
