Lever vs. Full auto sub gun. Dylan Holsey video. I doubt lever guns are going to disappear any time soon.

Sure a lot better than a "discussion," and most entertaining.
Great video, Gunny.
What a cool lever gun victory

Actually, I'm a little surprised that y'all hadn't seen this before. It's been out for several years. Oh,well. So many video's, so little time.PT7 wrote:Sure a lot better than a "discussion," and most entertaining.

You may know of him as Matt Black and he's still in the game.
Here's a little more about him and his shooting career. Article from last year.

And here's another one of him shooting a 10.5sec stage, back in 2012.

There are 2 major reasons the younger set shows up with levers at my range:
They are left handed and they don't want semi-auto hot brass flying by their face, also, LH bolts are spendy.
And, this-

Re: A general discussion on the future of lever action rifles
I have a Winchester 94 that I use for Lever Action Silhouette matches. A Local "gunsmith" told ,e he could lighten the trigger pull to 2 pounds. But when I came in with my 94 he looked up and said - Oh, I don't work on antiques." I explained that it was a new rifle, but he insisted that it was a antique. He only works on black rifles.
Guess I'll have to find an real "gunsmith" and not this self-taught wanna-be.

An "Armorer", and I use the term loosely, may be able to drop in a match trigger on a black rifle. A real gunsmith can work on just about anything.

trigger work on a Henry is as much art as it is science .... one simply can't turn a screw or install an aftermarket trigger .... doing so requires honing several parts to improve their interaction .... this requires micro adjustments followed by testing .... if the gunsmith hones too much material, he can't put it back .... I know this can be done because our gunsmith has taken care of 2 of ours .... finding a real gunsmith would serve you well
