    That book has most of his life. My son likes to look at it.

    I got him a hound looking beanie baby from tractorsupply that he sleeps with. I cant wait untill hes older to train a dog with.

    But that dog was special. Ive never spent 24hrs a day for 10years with anything and he was just so good in the woods. Especially after he spent 30hrs tied to a stump and through a thunderstorm

    He could start running a bull moose but would stop when i called him.

    I just put a youth-length stock on my Winchester ‘94 AE Trapper 16” carbine, resulting in a package very little longer than my 10-point-something-inch Daniel Defense DDM4V7P, with its LAW folder extended. LAW folders surely do result in a chunky package, when folded. For that matter, a Winchester Trapper is noticeably less-wide, comparatively, even when an AR-based weapon does not have its buffer tube folded.

    Winchester Trapper carbines, in the PDW business since the Nineties. The Eighteen-Nineties.

    The youth stock is actually not much shorter than the factory stock, but it is just a bit shorter, and the pad is hard rubber, which is better than the slick plastic factory butt plate.

    In other short-gun news, I just picked up my Remington 870 Marine Magnum Tac-14. It has been quite a while since I fired a stock-less shotgun; could be interesting.

    .45 Colt out of a 16" barrel is a beast. That's a nice gun.

    Also, one could put a "brace" on that Tac-14, which is an idea that I've often toyed with.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.

    Yes; I am hoping that this ‘94 AE will become my friend. Perhaps, friendly enough to convince me to sell something.

    I do not like short stocks on shotguns, so might not favor a brace, on the Tac-14, unless I want to clamp it under my arm, and fire from that position, or, perhaps, use “short stocking” as a default firing position.

    Time to visit that creek bed, on my wife's family’s land, and experiment.

    "Companion Sets" (Rifle & Handgun Of The Same Caliber)

    I'm a big fan of "Companion Sets". The OP specifically mentioned "lever action carbines" so I'll not post any mention of longer barrels (rifles) or auto-loaders (9mm, .45 ACP, etc).

    Here's a hard hitting Companion Set in .44 caliber (Magnum or Special).....

    Winchester Model 94 Trapper (handy short barrel), along with 3 (handy short barrels) revolvers (left-to-right) Model 24, Model 21 Heritage, Model 629.....
