FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Why are “Side Gate” lever actions so popular? A: A “Side Gate” allows you to top off the magazine tube without removing the tube rod or taking the gun out of a firing position. Models like the Henry Big Boy X and newer Marlins feature side gates, making them much faster to reload in the field than older tube-fed-only designs.
Q: What makes a lever action a good “Brush Gun”? A: Lever actions are typically short, handy, and chambered in heavy, slow-moving calibers like .45-70 Govt or .30-30. This makes them incredibly fast to shoulder and cycle in thick woods (brush), where shots are often taken at close range against moving game.
Q: Can I put a suppressor on a lever action? A: Yes! So long as suppressors are legal in your home state! The “Tactical Lever Action” trend is huge right now. We stock the Henry Big Boy X Model and Marlin Dark Series, which come from the factory with threaded barrels. Pairing a lever action with a suppressor is incredibly quiet because the action is manually operated—there is no gas port noise to disturb your ears
