5.56 lever action

I have the all silver 24” barrel, kinda heavy but dead on accurate!

Sounds nice, I’m left handed and the lever guns are ambidextrious and that’s great for me.

And the .44 Magnum is a real cartridge too and it’s still the most popular anti- bear round in Alaska even with the .500 S&W and the .454 Casull “”.

I like the look of some of the modern tactical lever action rifles on the market today, but I am in agreement with many who have posted before me that the .556 needs to remain in the AR category or at least in the semi auto category.

I do not now, nor have I ever owned a lever action rifle. I had a friend way back in the day some 40 years ago who had a lever action 30-30 he let me shoot at the range one day and I pinched my fingers every time. I guess I just didn’t know how to manipulate it successfully.

For a non semi auto format rifle, I would prefer a good bolt gun. Fewer moving parts.

What you say is all pretty much true and Everytime I shoot a lever gun very much at all I get the living crap pinched out of my fingers, and come to think of it ol’e Chuck Conners AKA “ The Rifleman “ is always wearing gloves when he cracks off so many rds with that thing lol. I bet while making those shows he came home with some sore hands lol

I have a 30-30 lever action and a 22LR lever action too! I love them both! I have good sights on them too, I just can’t miss with them.

Ll never forget the day I got my first AR-15 A2, most people wouldn’t tell this one on themselves but IDGAF, I have nothing to hide and could care less what others think, anyhow I walk into our fave gun shop and I had the first real rifle I owned and it was a beautiful Marlin Green Field or something like that , anyhow it’s their most popular.30-30 they made and still do but this one was real nice and had the most beautiful stock I’d ever seen, it looked like rosewood but I’m sure it wasn’t. Anyhow here we come higher than a kite in the late 70s and I wanted a cool gun and not that lever action because wen we went shooting everyone else had ARs and .30 carbines and SKSs , The big HK .308 91 or 93 and I had my lever gun and I was much younger than my buddies to but anyhow I had that Marlin in a case and had a decent scope on it and he had that AR that someone pawned and never came back to get and he wanted $400 for it and I asked if he’d knock some off for my pretty Marlin so he said “ let’s take a look at it” and I unzipped that case and the gun slid out and bounced off the floor, messed up one of the crosshairs in the scope and it was hanging in that lens like a piece of wire… Well I haven’t been able to see what I’ve been typing for the last 15 minutes now but he was gonna give me 150 in trade and because of the scope getting messed up I got the AR for 300 bucks
