Honestly they should be making mares legs outta all there lever guns, some rifle caliber pistols would be nice. Pretty much anything they have can be pistolified with little work or redesign at all and they could run the gambit from affordable plinkers to expensive collectors pieces and everywhere in between. I mean how cool would a mares leg long ranger in .223 be, or a single shot break pistol with a proper pistol grip?

An especially good idea would be to take the .410 lever gun and create something similar to the Mossberg Shockwave, a 26.5 inch non nfa "firearm" would make for a neat pseudo mares leg. Pretty useful as well by my measure of pistol grip .410's.

I made a Mare's Leg out of a 10/22 (Charger to make it legal). It was simple and very practical.

How about single shot centerfire bolt rifles? You could do rifle and revolver calibers and big game calibers no problemo. Bonus is that it ejects the cartridge.

Not my gun, but a 44-40 pump mares leg. These would be great for modern centerfire revolver rounds.

Two of them are in .22WMR which Henry did not make when I built them. I may repost the process in the next few days.

You built them on virgin receivers? I've always wanted to do that with a rifle caliber receiver.

I had a 71 Winchester for several years. It was probably the smoothest lever action made. I shot it a lot , reloaded the cartridges with jacketed and my own cast bullets. I always wondered why Winchester didn't make it a true .35 caliber and call it the 350 Winchester as .348 was an orphan size. I finally sold it for four times what it cost me and replaced it with a Savage 99-358 with a good 3x9 scope on it.

No I bought two .22LR Mare's Legs and removed the barrel. Then I bought two .22WMR rifles, removed those barrels, cut them down and installed them on the Mare's Legs. One was a round barrel and the other was an octagon barrel. Other modifications and parts were needed but this is the short story.

I then sent the donor rifles back to Henry to have rebarreled.

Here's and easy one. Long Ranger with a longer barrel, say 22-24 inches. Just to get the last of the fps out of those high intensity cartridges.

Yeah sorry been reading Chuck Hawks again.

We need a combo gun, 30-30 over 20 gauge.

I love the look of the 24 in Octagon rimfire rifles. If they only made one in 17 HMR.
That's a cartridge that could put to good use the extra 4 inches of barrel.

And one chambered in 17 WSM while they're at it.

I completely agree with you. With all the single shot shotguns and rifles, a combo gun is the next progression in my opinion.

It may have been done before, but I can't remember seeing it. I'd like a .357 mag over a 20 gauge. A .44 mag over a 12 gauge and a 5.56 over a 20 gauge, just to name a few. All in beautiful wood with deep bluing. Of course the first one I'd want is the .22 lr over a .410. You can't have enough of them.

Gotta agree also with you Dave especially a 357 over a 20 gauge. One of those would be welcome at my house.

A 357 over a 20 is my dream gun. Savage used to make em', but no more.
