Re: Need your opinion - Large Loop Lever w/ pics
Looks good...to get a better comparison, take a look at the large lever loop that Wild West Guns has on thier web site. Yours looks pretty close to what they have...I have one on my 1895GS from them. I like it when it's cold and I'm wearing gloves...
Nice work!

Re: Heavy Buckshot on Bear?
I lived in Alaska for over a decade and hunted with a friend who was a Professional Bear Hunter(Grizz). He advised, "Shotguns are for use on birds or someone who needs to aquire the skills to handle a big bore." His argument made sense, but I'd rather have a shotgun vs. nothing at all....T...
