    A demo on Youtube would be the best way to see how it takes-down and goes together. If I were to type a description, it would probably confuse some folks, and put others to sleep. In summary, when a lever is lifted, the two parts slide apart. Assembly is the reverse. There are no interrupted-threads, or such, just insert round peg into round hole, and close the take-down lever. I cannot say how well mine holds zero, after take-down and reassembly, because I have not yet mounted an optic, and, IIRC, have not yet done careful test-shooting. Several articles indicated that the return to zero was decent, and I saw this one on the pre-owned rack at a local dealer, when I happened to have a bit of disposable cash, so I bought it. This was several years ago.

    A scope, if mounted on the receiver, in the conventional manner, stays on the receiver. There is, or was, a Browning-brand forward scope mount available, to accommodate an IER optic, which leaves the optic on the barrel when the rifle is taken-down.

    Thinking of .357 side loaders vs the Ruger M77/357 with rotary mags.

    My 94 AE holds more BB's than a 77/357. It's handy to carry, points quickly, is easier to maneuver in confined spaces, and I can run it faster than a bolt action if need be.

    I have a Winchester 94, the Marlin pictured above and the Ruger 77/357 all In .357 obviously. They are all great guns and each have their own particular idiosyncrasies, but I will say that the Ruger is a very handy rifle. It is very light,accurate,and the magazines work well.I would feel well armed with any of them.

    Just for fun, and had I the funds, I'd love to get and pair a Winchester 92 and a S&W 1905 Hand Ejector in .32-20.

    WHAMMER. I plan on using this at Chief Weems’, “Social Levergun,” at the Tac Con. I’ll be sure to pick a spot on the far end of the line. I wouldn’t recommend standing next to me. Unless you like nosebleeds and toothaches.

    (Yes)

    These are more or less fun guns, so I see no reason not to. I’m probably going to pick up youth model 336 in 30-30 in a few months. For right now, my Henry is a fun gun. Hopefully next season it’ll be my deer gun.

    The M-Lock forearm is now showing at Midwest Industries' site.

    I want to see one in person but this seems to solve some real problems: mounting a light, protecting the hand from a hot barrel, and protecting the magazine tube.
