Love watching Hickok45 Sunday show where he gives some talk and shooting. This morning a sneak peek of the new S&W 44 Mag lever rifle and oh no it locks up on him. He has a longer review of it coming up but these were the first shots. Go to about 29:12 in video if you want to skip to it.

I was thinking he could've undone the mag tube to relive the pressure.
Oh well.

Seems to me, he was not cycling like he meant it. I was just wondering if it would jam.

So true, GFK. Every jam I've had with lever guns was being too lazy when working the lever.

That's what would happen with my Henry rifle! After 3-5 seconds it would release! I wasn't slow with the action I can say that.

I have a Marlin 1894 that did something similar, when I shoot Magtech ammo. Federal, Remington and Winchester were not an issue. So, I stop shooting Magtech in it. I have shoot a few hundred rounds since then.Dahliathemeh wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 4:55 pmThat's what would happen with my Henry rifle! After 3-5 seconds it would release!
