Title: This is the ugliest abomination of a rifle I have ever seen.
Post by: bkoenig on January 16, 2012, 10:43:22 PM
I like guns, period.  I like newfangled plastic and aluminum Lego guns and I like old smokepoles throwing cast lead with the stench of sulfur.  But I don't like it when they mix.

Mossberg makes some darn good shotguns, but whoever designed this needs to put down the t-square and back away slowly.  A lever gun needs no adornment, unless you have some big medicine like an 1895 Winchester in 405 Win.  Then all it needs is maybe a tang sight.  This thing needs to be killed with fire.

 Cleaning out the old parts bin maybe? Some how my mind keeps trying to hang on to the hope that this is a photoshoped joke.

Wow, I'll have to show this to the fella over on Marlinowners.com, he builds "tactical leverguns' But I dont think even he would go to this extreme!!
Stoger also released a year or so back, and double bbl coach gun in matte black, black stocks, with a rail on top and bottom for optics.  SAD SAD :(

stoger was pitching it as a super duper self defense / home defense gun IIRC....

i do have a wood finish stoger coach sxs 12ga short barrel (18ish?).  much love for it :)

just playing off the kids and their love for ''tacticool''.  Hopefully it's like an idiot, annoying in the present, but with any luck he won't reproduce and the problem will take care of itself.

This post has plunged me well into the steps of grief. At first I was in denial, then unbelievable pain ensued followed closely by angry rage. Now I am depressed. My only hope is that I can adjust to a world that has produced this outrage and move on to reconstruction and, someday, acceptance.

Just think, with that abomination rifle in a pistol caliber, the Stoeger self-defense dbl brrl or a tricked out Winchester 97 and a couple of polymer frame Ruger Vaqueros and there'd be a new class for CAS.

All nylon gear instead of leather and battle dress. Combat Cowboy???

That's funny right there! I had to copy/paste/send that to my younger bro (SASS- Major Art Tillery) heck could be his new persona.

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!!

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!

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).

I think I saw one of these revolver-rifles at guns unlimited 120th & I in omaha.

it's just as ugly in person as it is in pics...

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?

All this being said, not sure I would ever touch the tactical Mossberg lever gun, BUT I would like to shoot a Circuit Judge, not own one, just shoot it ;)
