Title: .35rem “brush gun”
Post by: Higher Caliber on January 17, 2019, 04:08:28 PM: I received this lever action .35 on a trade for next to nothing. .35rem is an excellent round, it’s just getting harder to come by, so I decided to build a hard knocking multi purpose defensive rifle out of her...

I wanted her short and fast to run with zero technology. That was my only criteria. I also wanted a defense/stand off device on it and a ghost ring sight system with a rail to put a scope on if I wanted...

I just got her back from the machinest. The butt plate was CNC’d for the project by the same guy who drilled and tapped all of the holes, cut and threaded the barrel, pinned and welded the muzzle device, etc...

Here she is-

What if I needed to smash a skull in though?
