I have a 20in 357, and am about to buy a Mare's leg in 357. My 20in seems nice, and is very smooth, kinda hard to load though. Also my only lever action so far.

I'd love to SBR one of these but afraid it'll fall apart.

Yeah, I worry a little about the aluminum receiver, but does it really matter? In another thread someone pointed out modern aluminum is probably plenty strong. AR receivers are aluminum, aluminum frame handguns, ect... seems like it should be plenty strong. I already have the 20in case hardened model and it is very smooth and worked fine the one time I took it out, although I believe it has a steel receiver...

If we can make guns from plastic, I'm sure aluminum will be just fine for a lever action.

Picked it up today. Seems nice, not as smooth as the first one, but it was also real dry, it is better after some oil. I installed a three lug right away. I will try to shoot this week sometime. I am going to order safely delete plugs for both, and probably a barrel band with a sling swivel and an optic mount of some kind for the pistol. If it works well I will probably SBR it. So far so good...

I shot it today. Worked 100%, although it is kinda hard to load, I think it will get easier as it breaks in. I shot a box of .38, and a box of .357.

What ammo? I think I was using magtech 38 and 357, no feeding problems for both the rifle and the pistol.

Rossi sells a barrel band that can take a sling (comes stock on their tactical model), I think it's like 20 bucks. It might fit it or be close enough to make it fit.
I apologize for my aggressive tone in a recent thread.

I got the barrel band, and filed a form one. Anyone know where to get a compatible wood butt stock?

I went ahead and ordered a Rossi stock set from Ebay. I will let yall know if it fits.

Well incase anyone was wondering, the Rossi take off stock I got off Ebay does not fit. It could probably be made to work, but I will probably keep looking for an actual take off from a G Force lever action.
