I'm not much of a lever action fan and I wouldn't buy one but those things look so savagely post apocalyptic they are hard not to love.

That looks great. BlackBox Cerakote promotion?

No found it on Mossberg owners out of the USA, thinking of going that way but have other colors in mind too.

Didn't want to believe it, just got off the phone with Mossberg USA cs. "No more Levers".

Also the top of the hammer that rides along the bottom of the action is to tall, causing excess upward pressure on the action as it cycles. It only needs enough material to engage the sear and that's it, I've filed down my hammer to elevate some of that pressure result in s smoother cycling action.

 

[1ABNDT]

I now use a Carlson thumb lever as a speed bump for the leading edge of the action to use to engage the sear and then it rides freely without the excess material of the hammer pushing upward on the action.

Try to avoid the "tactical" version, like the plaque!

I didn't. Just changed mine a bit.

I bought a 2021 manufacture one - the deluxe model.
I called Mossberg to confirm manufacture date she said they did a whole slew of updates to these rifles during Covid.
I have 4 Model 94s and 2 336s. I bought so I didn't beat up my safe queens.
This outshoots them all.
I bought for tough bush slogging while deer hunting and it's been a fine gun.
No issues at all. Very smooth cycling.
If you buy one try to find one after 2020 manufacture date. They are different
