Marlin / Ruger factory visit
While we were in the Carolinas filming a video “Craft of the Levergun” we had a chance to stop by the Mayodan Ruger plant and see how the sausage is made.
Very impressive all the way around.
Here’s a few photos:

Re: My new Marlin/Ruger Classic .44 Mag
My dealer got the first one in from his distributor. He showed it to me yesterday and I foolishly walked out without it. Quoted me a price of only $1,000 which I thought was great. Did not sleep last night especially after seeing the crooks on GunBroker and other sites for prices from $1,250 to $1,...

Re: Dovetail slots on Rossi 92 barrel
Rossi sights prior to 2010 were about 10mm (larger than 3/8") and had an odd angle. After that date the size of the dovetail has varied from .410" down to .380" Many standard (Nominal) 3/8" dovetails will now work on the newer production guns while some still need one slightly l...

Lever Light rails
Some thoughts from Andy There are very few things you can hang on a Lever Gun that make it more useful. A stock lever action rifle is about as slim, sleek, svelt, and useful as it can be. Smooth lines, no protrusions, nothing to hang up, goes in and out of a scabbard or case, use around the easily, ...

Re: If you could have just one Rossi 92 ...
I believe the Rossi quality has come up quite a bit over the past few years. For the price point, (around $700) these are pretty good. Picked this one up the other day to add to our test battery.
