Rick, you mean like this one ?:



Almost, needs a lever to actuate the advancement of the cylinder, kindof a hybred of the 2. 


Oh, and a bayonette  mount would be nice too!!

I'm thinking of adding a vertical foregrip to my 74 Sharps.

Do it and i'll be forced to remove the Engineer Cabrine from your posession for preservation.

Now HERE is a real "tactical" lever gun.  Also one of my dream rifles.  1895 Winchester Russian contract rifle in 7.62x54R.  Complete with bayonet lug and a guide for stripper clips.  Winchester made a relatively small number of them for the Czar's army before the Russian Revolution.

OMFG!  A x54R Lever gun, I-MUST-HAVE!

And Rick, I saw somewhere Rossi DID add a lever to actuate the cylinder.  Step ahead of ya, bro!

AND from Mossberg!  I would expect such a thing from Rossi/Taurus! But not Mossy


Mossberg seems to have taken a turn in this direction of late.  Remember the Chainsaw?  My guess is that the same designer/team came up with this thing.

Does it have a saddle ring? :lol:

Good luck.  They are like hen's teeth.  I've seen them for sale on the internet but never in a shop.  If I ever do, it's MINE.

You made me go looking for this one and sure enough... they did!  Can't say it looks all that good though.

Welp just had to revisit this thread to make sure this gun was still ugly. Yep still as nasty as can be, I would still refuse to touch it if zombies were knocking on my door and it was the only gun I had around (which is highly doubtful).

That's the only explanation I can come up with for some of the craptastic guns being produced these days.

That Levergun had rails everywhere that they would serve to tear up your hands, and notably, none where it would have been useful to mount an optic .......... Made of Plastic and FAIL.

The reason these are selling is that those parent's basement dwelling  juvenile delinquents have more disposable income than your average middle class taxpayer .......

NE BULL: Hate to seem stupid here, but is that "Revolver Rifle" real? If so, is it a custom or does some company actually make it? That is something I have never seen before. Thanks!

Yes Freedom1, it's built by Taurus/Rossi  Based off the Judge platform. Pretty much a Judge with a shoulder stock and long barrel.
(historically, there were actually revolver carbines many many moons ago. First attempt at a repeater rifle, I believe.  (Cabelas has a blackpowder/ muzzleloader version in the cave, only it's much nicer looking. ))

The cap & ball revolver rifles were notorious for removing fingers from the support hand when they chain fired.  They need to be shot with the support hand back behind the cylinder.

That MIGHT be the reason it has been sitting there for well over a year, huh?
