Nice project!

hey Bruce, what you got brewing these days?

Very interesting project. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks, Working on forearm which has been cut down 3 inches and being re-shaped for the sling band, need to fit a recoil pad, sort out the magazine, and get it blued. But so far, so good on the first one:

Chiming in late but, that's one fantastic looking setup!

Any updates?

I look forward to seeing your results and rest assured, when you're ready to post your first results, I'll create a Lever Action section for the ribbon cutting.

If I may ask a favor, who exactly is making a lever action in 460 S&W? I own three LA's in 35 Remington and enjoy no rifle I own more than my JM stamped 336C's. I have seen where Rossi made a LA in 454C and dearly wish I had bought one when they were affordable before they went out of production.

Disregard
I remembered Bighorn Armory specializes in custom impressive big bore LA's at equally impressive prices.
Wish I could afford such extreme expressions of firearm art work.

I've fondled and drooled on those Bighorn rifles, top notch quality.

I have a 480 Ruger Puma that can get your attention real quick and when that isn't enough fun, I'll dig out the Winchester 94 Big Bore in 450 Marlin.

Y’all ain’t seen my new Lever action yet.



It’s a Rossi Lev Tac 357 magnum.
