UPDATE: Rossi Ranch Hand Mares Leg

Thanks Foxer, before I could respond to my original post I read some other threads and came to see they were non-restricted.

Such a cool firearm, definitely getting one.
 
Amazingly they are nonrestricted !!
the mares lag has already been sold in Canada makes you shake head though 24 inches and nonrestricted
 
Just giving you guys a hard time about your cannons you must use them for logging LOL
I have stainless BLR 450 Marlin but mostly carry it to make the young geologists comfortable working in the Bush!
I never paid for the ammo myself instead I make the company pay for it.
I never use it hunting it ruins too much meat.
The 22lr is still the King
 
Any idea what a replacement "regular" lever loop would cost for this gun, or where they can be found? I did try to google this, didn't have much luck.

Would they be hard to install yourself?

As was suggested earlier in this thread a trade with someone else who wants the big ass lever might be the easiest thing to do....or what I'm thinking is cutting,re-shaping to a mid size and then weld,grind and polish....

I've seen native linecutters going in to do a 2 week contract with very little food. Mostly just flour, salt, lard, coffee and a .22 rimfire.
 
The native guys on the old Yukon trail used to say that (only a white man would carry a canoe up a mountain)

In mineral and oil exploration, in areas that are treed (ie. most of canada) the bush is so thick that in order to gain access for different surveys such as soil sampling, geophysics and geological mapping, a grid of lines are cut in the bush.

In the old days it was all done with sighting pickets as running compass lines was not allowed. Now with GPS it is easier to know where your grid lines actually are in the bush.

It is hard work, summer/winter.
 
Driller212 lots of people do not know what a line cutter is.
Machinery is a chainsaw and if you are lucky a ATV
two or three man crew you have to set up and take down your camp as you go.
Usually one guy cuts trail the others clear and set up camps.
You are payed by the kilometer so you pack light and your camps is just fast and simple.
 
I guess so eh?

yea for sure, I just thought everyone knew!

We have made roads using a bulldozer and scraper, not line cutting, but I assumed it might be done that way sometimes terrain permitting. too expensive I guess?

Everything to do with mineral expiration is expensive the more remote you go the higher your expenses and biger challenges.
 
Never play poker with a rock licker (geologists/prospector) they are hard core gamblers.
Working with them they will tell you today will be easy then drag you through the ugliest thickness wettiss places you can imagine.
 
It takes a different type of breed of man/woman to be a geologists/prospector I haven't met many that I don't respect.Their job is difficult and the responsibilities eventually rests on their shoulders and they have my respect.
