.35rem “brush gun”
« 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-

I like it. Looks like it'd be a fun little brush gun.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are.  Take the appropriate action, Execute!

I owned and used a Marlin .35 Rem as my deer rifle for a long time. Good one, like yours!

Nice! I have a soft spot for the .35 and have two of them. A pre cross bolt safety Marlin 336 and a Remington 14 carbine. The Remington rode in my grandpas saddle for several decades before being passed to my dad, and now to me.

Shot the lever gun yesterday! Love the sights, it’s fast to shoot (once you get used to the recoil and report) ... makes me think about our dads and grandads launching 30-06 rounds at the bad guys all day long.

What if I needed to smash a skull in though?
