Does it have a key lock built in?

Well I don't understand the removable tube mag on a threaded barrel gun ! You have to unscrew a suppressor to slide a tube out to load ? What is the sidegate for then ? Marlin 94 stocks fit is advertised. Expensive too !

It can be side gate or mag tube loaded. The MSRP is $130 less than the non-stainless and butt ugly Marlin Dark.

I'm excited about. To see a new levergun on the market is no small thing for a Levergunner like me! It's not the most aesthetically appealing thing, but you could tame it down (and have Turnbull rework it) and it'd be a solid little gun.

That Winchester 94, how'd you handle the other side of the safety delete?

Henry makes lever actions with side gate loading. The removable tube mag is just used across the board by 'em because it is easier to produce just one part. The removable tube mags were their first design, then later on they came out with rifles using a side loading gate.

Hmmm, another chunky, clunky lever action hit the market. I have a couple of lever guns with safeties. My solution was to put them in the fire position and then ignore them. Nothing will ever equal the clean, svelte lines of the Winchester '92's and '94's. A 20" barrel seemed to work well for our ancestors and it still does.

The AI image generators are so strange with details sometimes, screws that aren't, magnum belts on pistol rounds, knurled head on the magnum-ish round, and gibberish markings on the scope turrets, generic unidentifiable tool in leather sheath of some sort on the table, just strange.Cool, but I already have a tactical, carbon-fiber stocked, railed lever-gun in .30 Fury. Pec-15 on the front too.
I've been waiting for a 10mm lever gun.I am gonna wait for the 30SC version
We'll see who gets there first!

Seems to me S&W is making a lever gun that is kind of tactical, but yet a lever gun. A TACTICAL-LITE.
If you have gotten used to the CBS in the last 50 years they have been on the rifles then probably not
. What I will never get used to is a rebounding hammer and a rimfire mag tube. I bought CBS delete kits for my Marlins which do have the CBS. I had them all laid out, each beside each rifle and all the tools ( a screwdriver and an allen wrench) and just as I began to install them i asked myself exactly what was I doing and why was I doing it. I stopped, packed up the kits and tossed them in my box of spare parts and called it a day. I like the CBS and use it. That funky switch on top of a Rossi or the rubber hammer on a Henry and the ugly mag tube I can pass on.I think that S&W rifle is targeted to hog hunters and such. Not zombie defense.

I like the looks except for the black stock and a bore that is .23 to small. Cross bolt has got to go. I like where their going with their Marlin clone.

I think that would be pretty great, considering that 30SC is compatible with tube magazines (unlike 9mm).I am gonna wait for the 30SC version
P.S. This applies to 10mm as well.

Only showing .44 so not super interested. I would jump at a .357.

Any good lever action enthusiast knows you can eject the one from the barrel and SLOWLY close the lever till the extractor jumps over the rim of the second cartridge and open the action to pull that one out............ONLY A ROOKIE jacks all it's cartridges out into the dirt to unload a lever action rifle.
The only thing this rifle has in common with the 1854 Volcanic is the LEVER......Nothing else.

3Crows, not arguing here, but, doesn't Henry use a transfer bar in their lever rifles? Maybe a rebounding hammer in their single shots? Thanks.If you have gotten used to the CBS in the last 50 years they have been on the rifles then probably not

Thank you for sharing. I've removed the safety from a Winchester 94 and faced off the protrusion on the left side so that it wouldn't get accidentally bumped "on". I didn't consider using a chicago screw to plug the hole. Thats a slick trick.I followed what this guy did.

You are right, it has the transfer bar and no traditional half cock. The transfer bar has to be pushed upward by the trigger action. I can learn to use the Marlin CBS, remove the CBS entirely or lock the CBS to Off with the plunger set screw under the stock and revert to traditional half cock carry. Can you remove the transfer bar and add a half cock to a Henry?
Edit to add, does the S&W retain the half cock? It must?

Hold on to your butts everyone, I think we are a lot closer to seeing a reasonably priced .460 and .500 lever rifle.

Hmm. Wouldn't know about that one[last sentence].

Look at how the magazine pulls completely out of the gun at the 7:25 mark, y'all. I didn't see that the first go through this video.
