Mare's Leg re-do.

Post by **Rifletom** » Wed Jun 30, 2021 5:55 pm

On another forum, this fellow in Canada uses a Mare's Leg in .44 mag for hunting and in camp against any bears that wonder in. But, he mentioned he couldn't handle the short stock. So, he ordered a regular BB stock for it. Said he loves that set-up. Don't think it's legal for hunting here[U.S.], but would make a heck of a camp defense firearm, not to mention for home. Thought I'd pass that on.

interesting .... I'm curious as to the legality

Putting a full stock on a Mares Leg turns it into an SBR and you would have to file paperwork plus 200 bucks and a long wait to make it legal in the USA.

Ouch! Ohh, not worth it with all that hassle. Thanks for the info forty. Believe me, wasn't looking into one, just read that guys post and found it interesting. A no-go here!

Forty hit it right on the head. Every bit of it.
Now it would be cool, but not that cool.

Oh well. So much for that.

Plus all the legal hassles and risks if you want to transport that SBR to another state. Which is kind of the definition of “camping bear defense”. BTW I have an X and while the short barrel is very cool, I would not mind it being 6” shorter with a fat can on the end…. Or better yet an integrally suppressed barrel

But I will never buy a silencer until they are unrestricted.

Yep. Stupid regulation/law imho.

And will get worse if the ATF get's their way:

Want convenient bear defense, look at a Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge. Not a shotgun by definition, so no $200 stamp or waiting period needed. It's compact and easy to carry in the UTV or pickup, and suprisingly easy to shoot. Loaded with buck or slugs Miss T had no complaints. I got it specifically in case of large (rabid?) varmints on the farm... Put a red dot on top for Miss T, perfect.

A look at the shockwave with the rail and the SIG reddot.
