Re: Marlin 1895CB with Malcolm scope
the whole assembly does protrude beyond the muzzle, but the 5-inch section past the brass fitting is just a hollow tube meant to protect the glass from muzzle blast.

Marlin 1895CB with Malcolm scope
Just got this back from the gunsmith. I've had the 1895CB for a while, but he mounted the Malcolm scope for me. Before you ask, no, I haven't shot it yet.

Re: Round nose bullets in a lever gun
It's always been my contention that kinetics prevails. When the rifle suddenly recoils backwards, the static kinetics tends to keep the cartridge stationary - at least until the spring in the mag tube shoves them back. Consequently, primer detonation is dependent on the strength of the mag tube spri...

When the recoil ceases, the mag spring would slam the cartridges back home. If this is correct, the probability of detonation is r...
