Like everybody is saying, no gain with the 450 Marlin if you reload.

Jim,
It just looks more appropriate to see that rifle outdoors. :grin:

That is funny, Bill. I'm with you. If I could ride, I'd be afraid to twirl my Model 92, convinced that I'd blow off my foot or be left astride a very dead horse.

I had a slight fitting problem with the plunger on the lever locking to "my" rifle so I sent the lever back to DRC. Greg Self, the president of DRC is a top notch gentleman. He also requested I send back the original OE lever so they could match up the plungers.
It took a little longer than I thought it would but that is because DRC stripped the bluing and re-blued it for me. They wanted it to be perfect when I got it back even though I caught the inner side of the lever with a file (my fault).
I installed the lever tonight and it is a dream come true. Very smooth, very slick and with a perfect lever lock up.
This rifle is perfect for me. Nice looks, excellent bluing that matches the rifle and just the right size for my gloved hand.
DRC is a top notch company and the president, Greg Self, is a straight shooter. For those of you looking for a large lever for your 1895, you need to get a DRC lever. They stand behind their products with a 100% customer satisfaction commitment.
