lever action

For myself, the very word “Marlin” has always meant a lever action chambered in that workhouse caliber, the .30-30 Winchester.

In my opinion, a better suited option when truly Big Bore stuff needs to happen is the 50 Alaskan.  

The stock is all made from American walnut with classic checkering in a modern design that genuinely improves grip. It’s just a little more modern overall.

Patriot Ordnance Factory Inc., a leading provider and manufacturer of the finest AR-type rifles on the United States commercial market, is pleased to unveil their first lever-action rifle platform, the Tombstone.

Marlin Firearms made big news recently by launching its first rifle since being acquired in 2020 by Sturm, Ruger and Company: the Marlin Model 1895 SBL chambered in the potent .45-70 Govt., and manufactured in Mayodan, North Carolina. Ruger, as was widely reported, purchased Marlin after the Remington Outdoor Company declared bankruptcy and its assets were sold, including the Marlin brand.

Most people don’t think of lever actions when they consider modern self-defense rifles mostly because they were the military, law enforcement, and civilian choice of the late 1800s. The libtards aren’t as threatened by them and you can still own them in places like New York.  By design, they weren’t originally made to mount optics, lights, lasers, or suppressors. Turns out that with a few modifications they work fantastic for all of that though.

If you have seen a lever action in the last 30 years, it was an 1895. They are prolific, to say the least, as well as Marlin is nearly synonymous with “lever gun”.

Henry is by far the leader in lever-action rifles today, if not in volume then certainly in quality. The company’s motto is one I can absolutely get behind. Made in America. Or not made at all.

The Winchester model 1895 was the last lever-action designed by firearms designer John Browning, and a favorite of Teddy Roosevelt and the Texas Rangers.
