I watched a YouTube video and afterwards taking the lever and bolt out was a breeze. Then today I shot the rifle and I was surprised at how low the recoil was now I’m thinking about making this my primary deer rifle for this coming deer season.I watched YouTube videos to see what people did.
I was torn on which to get. .218 Bee, 25-20 of 32-20. I got the 25-20. I've always read the usefulness of that round back in the day. Seems it worked for small game up to deer back in the day. Mine shoots cast bullets at targets. Amazing on all the real high performance rounds everyone needs these days when the old "obsolete" rounds worked everyday to put meat on the table. Love my 30-30s. Grandfathers 1928 Win 1894 30WCF, 80's Win AE Trapper, Glenfield M36 3/4 mag and a Stevens 325 Bolt action. All shoot the Lee 150grn FP great.If I could find an 1894 CL in .32-20 I'd buy it. Prices on those are nuts.
Thank you. Sure does look easier than trying to find a flat head screwdriver that will fit.To speed removing the lever for cleaning, here is a knurled lever screw that I put on all my Marlins.
If you ever decide to cast your own bullets, the 30-30 is the most cast bullet friendly cartridge out there.
