[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1610175, member: 20333"] Of course. The Ruger brothers #1 & #3 are lever actions capable of shooting anything you can get in them. However, the real motor scooter of all lever guns is the Panzerbuchse 39, falling block AT rifle, shooting a 240 gr tungsten carbide core AP bullet out of about a 36 inch barrel from a German 20mm AT case necked to 8mm running about 1,200 mps. That is meters per second or 3,900 fps. Note there is no recoil system built into the 25 pound gun. I understand from old German soldiers, it took a Gross a Mann (big man) to carry and shoot one of these. The recoil was about 12” for man and gun, sliding on the ground with toes sideways so they do not dig in. Copy and put it in your search engine to see this WWII beauty. The lever is the trigger group itself, hinged in the front, you unlock it, the trigger guard pulls down at the rear, dropping the action block, ejecting the shell and you insert a new round, bring the rear of trigger group up, the lever, lock it, grit teeth and hang on, it is ready to rock.
