[QUOTE="cluis, post: 2372041, member: 121241"] Funny how the internet works. So I had been looking at a long ranger, thinking I would grab a 556 for plinking, and as a kind of neat little utility rifle. So I went down the review rabbit hole to see what the complaints were. This is something that came up as well, wanting a higher capacity mag. For me I don't really think I would have use for one, but I thought "what if I really [I]wanted[/I] one for some reason?". So as you stated the main engineering issue is the clearance of the lever on any mag that wouldn't be flush. I thought to myself "surely with a company this big, with so many people buying their stuff [I]someone [/I]solved this "problem" already. But it did not come up in a search. maybe some of you guys know different, but milling a custom lever would be fairly simple to my eye. I would prolly shoot for something that runs to the side of the stock that is palm or meat of the thumb actuated. But then it seems to me it kinda stops being a Henry cause that lever is gone. Idk, any thoughts. I was looking for an interesting project, even if it is just building the file for the milling, since I like the rifle how it is generally. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
