Mossberg 464 SPX 30-30

I feel sorry for the guys that want to own a foldup contender then.

I would love to see the guy try to argue that a single shot rifle is an assault weapon:D
 
Six-position collapsible stock; not a folder.

I believe the over all length is the issue, and I can't find where I read the specs on what legally is a pistol, and what is a rifle.

16" barrel.
26" minimum overall length, in firing configuration.

(If the stock collapses or folds to an OAL shorter than 26"... the rifle cannot be capable of being fired in that configuration.)

Is that state law, or federal law?
 
I've only ever had one lever gun; a Marlin 1894SS that was about as reliable as a politician's promise. It left me kind of disillusioned with those types of rifles. That said, if I'd never had that negative experience, and were now instead out to find myself my first-ever lever action rifle....it wouldn't be this one. Geez, and I thought Glocks were ugly!:eek:
 
My thoughts on that.... Just say no?

Regardless of how it functions its ugly, like it just sort of makes me cringe.
 
Final thoughts on this one: I'm sure it's a great little rifle. If you like it, that's all that matters. For my part though, every time I look at the picture of it, and see all that tactical M4 stuff on a lever action rifle....what comes to mind is the same thing that I think when I see 2 dudes holding hands: "That is just plain wrong!":eek:
 
Yeah, unfortunately that thing has been around a while. It's not new.
Ugly as sin. Now I'm not a hater of tactical lever actions. I think they are an awesome concept and the one lever action I plan to get in my life will likely be tac'd-out. However it's all in the execution.

Here's a couple examples of sweet looking tactical lever guns:

The thing Mossberg cobbled together is not one of them. It seems to them "tactical" just means M4 stock.
 
The Henry was designed back around 1860 to be a "tactical" rifle, but I would bet that men probably didn't use that word back then. The words Assault and tactical as far as I'm concerned are more or less made up words.
 
"Ow" on that last rifle with the no handguard :P

Those do look better than the Mossy, I will agree :). I think the Mossberg looks mainly as bad as it does because of the telescoping stock. Looks...wrong. Like a discloated joint, or something *ewww*

Or just imagine it with high intensity light, lazer, night sights, You could really feed your family, or protect your family.;)
 
My guess is that younger folks, who have grown up seeing and handling tactical looking rifles, would probably like the look. As an old timer, the traditional looking lever gun is much more appealing to me. However, the photos presented by Nickel Plated are far more appealing than the Mossberg version. I think it's the collapsible stock that just doesn't work with the Mossberg. I'm a big fan of Mossberg shotguns, so I hope their lever guns, in what ever version, turn out to be reliable and accurate.
