I'll be posting more pics in my review of O'Dell Day but here are some teasers of the new Wrangler available in .357 and .410...it was awesome to shoot! They will be at TACCOM in a couple of weeks
look at the ejected shell...throws them high lol

Well I had ordered a R95 16.5" in 30-30 with the walnut stock as I planned on turning it into a barf worthy space gun. I had planned on leaving the wood stock and getting an MI hand guard and some of the Wood mlok panels. But when the rifle arrived it had some nasty damage to the muzzle. It looked as though it had taken a nose dive into the concrete. Luckly I was able to speak with the store and they offered to replace the rifle with a similar one. So now I have a R95 triple black enroute. RPP stock and handguard to follow.
Ended up swapping the 45/70 pictured in earlier threads for a Henry BB Mare’s leg in 357/38. The 45/70 was cool but really just a novelty and this is too but I will enjoy it and use it more. Not interested in getting a stock for it since its heavy enough there is no recoil with my reloads so can steady it comfortably with the rise of the butt under my chin. Planning to have some fun and run it through some cowboy matches and scratch it up a bit. The finish on the wood is pretty thin so think I will add some gaffe tape here and there and find a smaller lever. Its surprisingly accurate on the 20 yrd range after opening the rear sight up a bit. Now to find a ukulele or long tripod case.
Even though it is wood I think it is very tacticool.

Nice blaster. I had a Mares leg like 10 years ago, I can't remember what make it was but it was fun to shoot, certianly a novelity, but honestly, to me most of my lever guns are.Ended up swapping the 45/70 pictured in earlier threads for a Henry BB Mare’s leg in 357/38.

Keep the big loop, seeing as this is a side gate, you can spin #### it!
My most novelity lever gun,
Pirate604 nice gun. Even though mines a Henry and I have factory service for Parts I’d probably shoot myself in the toe giving it a twirl. A guy brings one of those with a stock to SASS they are very quick to reload!

Jeebus and I thought I was bad.
I have the RPP long forend on my R95. I like it, it's much better than the OEM wood. Fills the hand better and lots of room to hang accessories off.
I actually tend to agree. I find the modern stocks to be really fugly. I left the OEM stock on my R95 and just added a saddle type cheek riser. I also dumped the soft, grippy rubber butt pad and went to a thin, slippery plastic butt pad. I found the OEM butt pad to be too long and it tended to grab my clothing as I was shouldering the thing.
Thats a lot of optic for a 38/357. I find that a low profile, more open red dot type sight works really well for these small, handy rifles. Something like a C-More railway would be perfect.
The original Norinco 1887 T2 came with a regular lever with a full trigger guard. The CGNer I bought this one from had the big loop custom made I believe so think it was made this way intentionally. It does not look like a Bubba chop job. It reminds me of those hotrod 38s with the front of the trigger guards cut out.
This one twirls but it is a beast to do so. Arnie makes it look so effortless.
I recieved my R95 so I did a bit of a shuffle with my optics. The S&W .44 kept the Leupold but I swapped the Burris from my Levtac to the R95 and threw a Vortex Venom on the Levtac.

I finally received my Magpul ELG stock for my R95. I was not planning on getting this stock initally but it was a good price and the black was back in stock so I though I would try it out. It is your standard Magpul quality and is much lighter than the factory wood stock. It is pretty well thought out and has some nice features and includes a variety of cheek risers and LOP adjustment inserts. As well it includes 3 inserts for the compartment; 45/70, 30-30, and one for basic storage. The rifle shoulders much quicker and is nice and light.
While it is not a slick looking as the RPP/MI/Chisel stocks, it is very functional and I would not mind if it got beaten up in the back of the truck, atv, etc.

Who has a straight grip wood take off Marlin 1895 guide gun stock they want to sell after making their gun into a black gun?
Don't feel bad. It looks sick.
My next lever gun project will be a SBL but finding a Ruger made one is a bit of a pain and I don't feel like paying the $500 a$$hole tax people are charging on the ee. I will probably go for a MI handguard and a MI stock.
