\"IMI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s 1991: Nirvana is blowing up on the radio, people are flocking to see Terminator 2 and Independence Day and you are looking for a new general-purpose rifle.  You head down to the local gun store and see a pump action carbine in 357 Mag on the rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the Timber Wolf carbine from Israeli Military Industries (IMI), the coolest rifle you have never heard of.  There is not a ton of specific information out there on the Timber Wolf but it was imported by Action Arms in 357\/38 and later by Springfield Armory in both 357 and 44 Mag.  Approximately 500 were brought into the US before IMI halted production; most people suspect that it was due to slow sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rifle featured an 18-inch barrel, 10 round tubular magazine, a weaver rail was integral to the receiver, and the stock could be removed without tools for compact storage, all weighing only 6.1 pounds.  In the early nineties, they sold for about $300.  Around 2011 you could find them for $500-600.  Currently, the 357s go for close to $2000 and the 44s tend to sell for $3500 and up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"IMI<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

People that own or have shot a Timber Wolf love them.  Light, fast, accurate, low recoiling, and simple.  The trigger and lifter design is very similar to a Remington 870 shotgun but scaled down for the pistol cartridges.  The rifle included a basic set of notch and post-iron sights with a rear that is adjustable for various ranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
Adjustable rear and white striped front sights are standard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I can run a pump rifle a lot faster than I can run a lever gun.  I suspect most people are the same.  But to most gun owners in the US, pumps are simply not as cool or as stylish as a lever action.  I think that is part of the reason for the Timber Wolf\u2019s demise.  But I put a lot more emphasis on function vs. form so I prefer the pump action for speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
The blocky receiver isn’t pretty but it is effective.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Three key features set the Timber Wolf apart from other rifles of its era. First is the stock.  On the left side of the receiver is a large thumbscrew with a slot for a quarter.  Loosen the screw and you can pull the stock off the rifle for easy storage in a backpack or small bag.  The screw is also retained by the receiver so it won\u2019t fall out and get lost. The mounting interface of the stock also allows you to alter how much it drops.  This great feature lets you get a proper cheek weld when using an optic without the need for a cheek riser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
The stock can be removed without tools and will still fire without the stock attached.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unlike takedown lever action rifles, you can leave the mag tube on the Timber Wolf loaded when removing the stock and it will fire with the stock removed.  This puts it light years ahead of a takedown lever action for quick deployment from a backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
The stock can rotate up or down independently of the mounting lug. This allows the use of optics while still getting a proper cheek weld.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The last key feature is the receiver itself.  Machined into the top of the receiver is a weaver rail.  No clunky clamp on the rail or set screws that can loosen, it is part of the receiver itself.  Weaver rails are pretty old school these days but you can use Picatinny rings and mounts on a Weaver rail so it is still relevant today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
A captured thumbscrew is loosened to remove the stock. The screw is cut to accept a US quarter as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"IMI
The takedown screw is captured so you can’t lose it. Note the detent to keep the screw from coming loose while shooting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The tube mag limits you to flat-nosed bullet shapes for the most part.  But the Timber Wolf performs amazingly well with <\/a>Horandy\u2019s LEVERevolution<\/a> ammo.  The bullets use a rubbery tip that won\u2019t set off primers in the tube.  The pointy bullet shape gives you much slipperier bullets with higher BCs (Ballistic Coefficient) which allow you to shoot farther.  The 140gr FTX ammo chronoed at 1800 fps using a Labradar.  That is a hell of a lot more energy than you can get from a typical 147gr 9mm round, 973 ft-lbs at the muzzle for the 357 vs. 308 ft-lbs for a typical 147gr 9mm fired from an 8-inch barrel.  The slippery FTX bullets stay supersonic to 215 yards and drop less than 20 inches at 200 yards with a 50-yard zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
The Timber Wolf has good accuracy with Hornady 140gr LEVERevolution .357 Magnum ammo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was able to hit a 10-inch diamond steel target about 75% of the time using an older Aimpoint Comp XD with a 10 MOA dot.  With that kind of accuracy, shooting a 2 or 4-legged predator inside 100 yards is simple and is still very doable at 200 yards.  Though I prefer a red dot for most rifles inside 200 yards the Timber Wolf is an ideal host for a 1-4 LPVO optic. With a 1-4 it routinely produces 3 shot groups at 100 yards under 2 MOA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
The Timber Wolf is an ideal host for a 1-4 LPVO. While the base is Weaver it will accept Picatinny rings.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is the Timber Wolf good for these days?  It is perfect for a truck\/ranch gun; it\u2019s a good lightweight hunting rifle for appropriately sized game; it\u2019s also a great plinker that can use cheaper 38 special ammo.  It also has a wide range of uses as a defensive rifle.  It has more power and range than a 9mm pistol or PCC and it is also more accurate.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one use that many will overlook is a rifle for travel in non-free states such as California.  It is made of walnut and blue steel, has no scary features like a bayonet lug, no detachable magazine, and it\u2019s manually operated, so it should be legal in even the most restrictive states. Keep in mind that this is not legal advice; you should still consult local laws and do your own research, or better yet, consult a lawyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ability to quickly remove or install the stock for compact carry is another great feature for a defensive rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"IMI
The trigger and lifter system are very similar to a Remington 870 shotgun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today, tactical lever guns are all the rage, which makes the Timber Wolf more relevant than ever.  I would really like to see some gun company make an updated version.  The patents and other IPs should all be expired meaning anyone can copy it.  I\u2019m looking at you Ruger, Mossberg, Henry, and Savage.  Keep the 357 and 44 but also add 9mm and 10mm options.  Update the Weaver rail to a Picatinny rail and thread the barrel for use with a suppressor.  Sell it for under $1000 and in my opinion, you will have a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would you buy a modern Timber Wolf? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sure would!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
