As traditional-minded as I am, it didn't take much for me to embrace the original stainless SBL levergun and fall in love with it.
But, wow...I can't imagine what would make me want to install this ugly spud on my rifle. Wasteful and expensive billet-machining means it won't be cheap. Will it be lighter than the wood stock? It's definitely going to suck the heat out of your hands quickly in cold weather.
Apparently the recoil pad will be adjustable up and down, although LOP looks fixed. Why did they use a recoil pad that looks as though it was unscrewed from the back of an old bolt gun? It honestly appears as though somebody built it in their garage using junk from their parts bin.
Funny how folks were laughing at that goofy tactical levergun that Mossberg used to make...but they're treating this thing as though it will be the next hot thing. Personally, I can't see much to choose between them; they both look like crap, IMHO.
I do own two Marlin 45-70's and have put Mid West M-lok handguard's on both of them....I do like the functionality of being able to install accessories on them and the way they look. But as some have pointed out, aluminum sucks the heat out of your hand in cold weather, so I put some Magpul rail covers on the area where your hand would be and it was the cure for the problem.
Maybe something like that could be incorporated into this design for the pistol grip area, or even some type of rubber grip like Hogue. My 2 cents.
Did you bring in extras over what people requested? And are you bringing in the Hoptic quivers to mount on them?
