Hi a discussion at the club the other night. Was a underlever rifle ever prroduced to shoot 45acp ? Marlin in particular. Can anyone answer this. ?

Not a factory one. However, if anyone is adamant that there was, it may be that they remember Shooting Sports' Pete Moore building one several years ago, I think with the help of Pete Sarony of Armalon. From what I remember, a load of grief and very expensive. But, if it's what you want then why not?

Can't ever recall an underlever but there were revolvers with clips to hold the rim and of course the De Lisle Enfield.

Got one of those by Sarony in the NRA Armoury for hire.

I don't want an underlever; everyone else at the club shoots them and I'd prefer something a bit different :shakeshout:
