I think they're mechanically interesting, but I can't say that I care for them much.

Yeah but you also hate BLRs so how much can we trust you really?

The only thing I don't like about em is that their triggers come out with the lever. I like the nostalgic Marlin trigger bite

The rack and pinion system in them is hot garbage. Almost no leverage, and if it jumps timing you've got a half day's work ahead of you trying to fix it.

That sounds like a community 49 Plymouth a group up us poor-azzed barely teens kept running on alcohol for brake fluid and soda pop bottle gas in the mid 60's.

I know no one who has actually ever had that issue even though it is thrown about frequently. Now the terrible trigger pull is a problem that can be fixed, but not by the user. It is the most accurate lever action rifle I have ever owned and I have a savage 1899 and a 99 and a Marlin 336 and 39. Never cared for the 94 as that brass ejecting straight up is distracting when trying to get a follow-up shot.

I've had 2 come in this past year that were out of time.

I'm gonna send you one to rebarrel to 25-06 for my dad. Should be a nice little job for you.
