Congrats on 100k! Awesome video!
Thanks. In no small part to the TFM exposure. Otherwise I’d be a 15k channel right now.
You guys deserve more credit. I hope you folks are having a good one. 🤙🏽

@@OGsDangerShow I don’t know what you’re talking about OG. I found your channel because the link was written on a bathroom stall. Still waiting for that “good Buick”. 😂
I’m known in some of the finest establishments, sir. 😉
My first hunting rifle was a 1936 Marlin model 36 30 30 that my grandfather bought new from the Sears catalog "the way Americans are supposed to be able to buy firearms" shipped to his door. I still have it. It's still a great hunting rifle here in the forests of the northern midwest United States. Also had the model 60 22lr which my son has now. I've always loved Marlin. When I was a young boy I remember the 2 big bore calibers my dad talked about were the 45 70 government and the 375H&H.
You mean Idaho lol
Yup!
I love stories like this, because while I'm reading it I imagine my friends saying something like "30-30 isn't good for deer" or something like that. 30-30 has been killing deer for decades and as long as there's people like you that appreciate rifles like that it will continue to kill deer for decades to come.
I don't think I'll ever own a 30-30 or .45-70 because I just don't care for lever rifles, I'm a bolt or semi auto kinda guy I guess. But I still appreciate them for what they are and what they've accomplished. They're beautiful rifles, really.
375 H&H is a bone crakker for real. For real men to indulge their inner Colonel Corbett. Good video Gregg.

My wallet hurt just watching all those shots, my 45-70 doesn’t get a lot of love since each round is a pricey little bastard. Congratulations on 100k from the Soviet state of NY
More than $4 a pop.
Mantra is:" shot placement = accuracy has no room for doubt and angst promoting unwanted hesitation."
So so true. Even if you load your own. They were very inexpensive years ago. Not now though.
Despite inital cost the Roll yer own kit will quickly pay for it's self !!! Especually if you like to shoot !!!
Lyman kit is a must !!!
The comercial buffalo shooters all rolled their own !!!
Thankfully this isn’t Russia. Otherwise we’d be sitting in a dirty trench some place in Ukraine wondering why the heck we were there. Hate Putin.
The 45-70 was actually almost dead for a while, so Marlin came out with the .444 to cover that void for a while.
owned and loved the 444 marlins
Got both. The new Ruger is for deep pockets. Got 2 orginal Marlin 95 in .45-70. Browning copy of the 1886. Winchester. 444. LOVE EM
@@lonniemonroe2714 not really my ruger marlin SBL ( I just bought last week) was 1371 with taxes brand new in the box so that's not such a deep pocket, granted I have a job that pays me $19 an hour so it cost me prolly 3 weeks pay.
Very cool 'little' rifle
Congratulations on the 100K well deserved subs 👍🏻
Happy New Year OG and everyone
I have an old model Marlin 1894C I got a loooong time ago, in .357 magnum. Absolutely wonderful gun, and really glad I got it before the decline of the brand, but I have been dying for one of the new ones like yours, post-bankruptcy. Always good to have a rifle that can take care of any threat or meal in North America.
The same model and caliber I got over 15 years ago. Love it. The shop even wanted to buy it back for a customer in urgent need. I'll hold onto it. Love this gun.
Because you're honest about what you handle, And you presented brilliantly great fun.
A polite, well informed and actually qualified presenter of a firearms channel! No waaaay doooood lol. Always a pleasure to watch you OG and I actually lol at the quail gag. Top job, have a great year sir. 🏴
And no profanity! Yay!
Congrats on the 101K subs. I had one of those Marlins years ago, and that thing would kick you into next week. Long bench sessions are definitely out. Enjoy your channel. Best in the new year.
Always enjoy your videos. Your videos on the Beretta 1301 gave me a lot of confidence getting that firearm as it was pricey for a scattergun but quickly found out it's worth every penny.
That vid is an OG classic!
Awesome. I love my Henry 45-70. I've been enjoying your gun and ammo shows for a while. Thank you for showing people that guns can be used safely and are fun to shoot. J.Au-en
100k, nicely done! Love your videos and this is no exception. Gotta love the re-release of an old favourite and the 1895 is no exception. I've got a Rem-Marl 1895 GBL which runs really nicely with all sorts of loads. Loving the content OG, keep it up. All the best for you and yours in the new year!
Thanks for the great content OG. Congrats on over 100K subs! I think what really helped get the subs up is your concern for Cardboard Americans. Happy New Year stay safe.
They are truly the oppressed. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video. I'll probably never own one because of my age and health but enjoyed the history and demonstration of the impressive power the 45/70 has. Thanks again
Buy one leave it to your grandkids. Have fun through them.
Great video as always, and I am glad to see your channel back in action.
😁👍That 45-70 marlin is in my list of must have rifles. My first rifle as a kid was a marlin 22 bolt action. Made many a trip to the woods with it. 😁
For those whose man-buns are wound a bit tight over OG suggesting the Marlin 45-70 as a viable home defense rifle, just ponder this thought: "Marlin 45-70: delivering 3800 foot-pounds of good news to those that choose to kick in your front door". Great vid' OG!
Congrats on the 100K subs! I truly enjoy your "crappy show"!! Keep em coming, Brother and stay safe out there!
Thanks, deep sea! Stay safe out there as well.
Hope you have the time in a home invasion to put on your double hearing protection!
@@panzerabwerkanone during critical incidents, like a shooting, you and your ears don’t care. Physiology takes over and blocks sound for you. I’ve been there.
Congratulations OG! What a milestone, what a journey! Fantastic review on the Trapper.
Thanks George! I was inspired by your comparison video. Stay safe down there.
Great work OG! We need more people like you around, we would have gun smarts & saftey!
Great video! Love seeing different guns. AR's are great, but after awhile if you've seen one you've seen them all.
That first shot in the intro… #Mega!!!! OG, very proud with how your channel has come along. Mahalo very much for providing QUALITY!!!! Aloha from your Ohana on Kaua’i💪🏽😀🤙🏽
Thanks Richie!
Congrats, Young Man! Love your stuff. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful scenery in Mineral King, love the shots! Go up there every year. Thx for the video!
Congrats on hitting your 100K milestone Gregg!! WELL deserved.
That land is beautiful 😻 we love you and Jeff 💖 keep up the good work Ty 👍 just fighting the algorithm for you..
I WISH I HAD MONEY TO GIVE
I shoot the 1895 Guide Gun in.450 Marlin. It’s a beast of a gun, my go to hunting gun. But this trapper is unbelievable, I may be buying one. Thanks for turning me on to it. My favorite bolt is the Ruger M77 30-06. It’s 40 years old and still a tack driver.
It is always fun watching you, OG. Blessings from Australia.
Ruger really has stepped up their game with this Marlin acquisition. I have been trying to get a new Marlin since they came out but I always am late to the game.
OG, belated happy New Year.
The Ruger trapper 45/70 is a handsome-looking rifle, especially in that finish. Definitely not my 1970s childhood, Weatherby's .22 rimfire. Great video as usual Thank you.
Good to see you are still doing good. That is a fine rifle you have there and look forward to more OG shenanigans.
Great vid, OG! Congrats on 100K!
Welcome back!! Missed you! Great video and cool rifle.
Ah lever guns. There's just something so wonderful about their sleek lines, history, simplicity, and the tactile feel loading bullets into the side gate or chamber you just can't get from an AR. I got a Henry X .357 just before the pandemic and that took some finagling I tell ya.
Ha! I get that same feeling when I load my 44 mag.
Love the Marlin 45/70 thank you OG, CON GRATS on the 100G's won't be long I'll be telling my children, I remember when he started this channel! 💪👊💥 Thank you OG, still the best!!
Thanks Dewey!
OG, youre too much brotha! The thin blue line needs more like you to make America proud again. Keep em coming.
Nice rifle. Good solid round. Very witty OG as always and happy days on this video. OG speaks the truth so listen to him.
I shoot a Marlin 1894 chambered in ..44 Magnum, 20" bbl; manufactured way before the Remington takeover. It is a great lil' carbine, and quite a thumper. I can only imagine the recoil from the 45-70. Congratulations on 100K subscribers! You put together a great program!
Thank you, sir. Stay safe out there.
I love my early 1970s Marlin 1894 chambered in 44 Magnum!
@@chipsterb4946 I agree.. same with patterning a 12 gauge shotgun off the bench! Not fun at all!!!
I could only handle 12 shots and my cheek felt as if someone punched me in the face! Of course it was a very old firearm with a slim rubber butt pad!
I have the stainless with green laminate stock, paid less than a 1000, it is still unfired to this day and I have seen them going for more than 1800 on Gunbroker.
Great lever action review. That 45-70 is a brute. I don’t know if I want to be on either end, shooting or receiving rounds. Hmm, better to be on shooting end. 😂
Congrats on hitting 100K.
Hey OG.. I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS!!.. YOU TOTALLY SOLD ME FINALLY ON THIS 16 INCH 45-70 THANK YOU !! AND HOPEFULLY IF ONE DAY I AM BLESSED ENOUGH TO GET ONE I WILL !! AND ONLY BECAUSE OF YOUR HARD WORK AND GREATLY DETAILED REVIEW!! GOODLUCK ON THE COMPOUND LOOKS GREAT!! ( solar panels & rain water collection? )make a vid ON that !
Thanks O.G.! I’m going to be in the market this spring for one… been looking at the Marlin and Henry but I’m really liking the Ruger made.. always been a Ruger fan..👍🏻
One of the absolute best firearm evaluation videos I've ever seen.
Thanks Mark. Glad you liked it. 🤟😎
Excellent video brother! 🎈🥳🎈
I have one and I agree. After 10 to 15 rounds you are done with it. I'm used to shooting 12g 100 rounds in sporting clays without noticing any shoulder pain. The 45-70 is definitely doo-able but a harder hitter for sure.
Wherever you took this video in the beginning was beautiful! Wow! Reminds me of here in the Black Hills of SD. Congrats on 101k subs. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! Stay safe. The Kook Left knows it has to get everything done this year. It should be scary.
Thanks D. We can’t wait to get up there. It’s coming soon. Very soon.
@@OGsDangerShow - Please let me know and we'll hit TxRdHs for a bite. I'll give you the tour of Rapid.
I'm mostly an AR guy, but I've been interested in .45-70 lever guns for several years. They seem like a good, practical option for deer hunting in certain areas. And you just can't beat that cool, retro look of a lever action.
Congratulations on reaching 100K subscribers.
Thanks for checking it out! 🤟😎
They make good conversation pieces
Such a beautiful gun, I’m happy to see it featured on your channel! Love your humor and I hope that you become as successful as Taofledermaus, you deserve it bro!
Thanks Sniper. Glad you liked the show.
Congratulations OG. I like your channel it's a little different. Thank you for sharing your experience with these fine firearms.
Nice lil rifle. I've been slowly planning a possible move to Alaska, and been zeroing on on a little something in .45-70. Seems far more practical against potential threats there, like mad moose/elk, bears etc. Plus being compact enough to carry. I've seem plenty debating the range merits, but for typical "Oh! A bear!" moments, it seems perfect given woodland or brushland engagements are often at relatively short ranges.
Brook, I am an Alaskan bushman & the 45/70 is THE rifle of choice. Especially loaded with hot Buffalo Bore bear thumpers. As an old timer we had to load our own hot loads because the " govt" rounds were junk. 405 grain @ 1300 fps. Buffalo Bore came into existence to fill that need & has blossomed since. My old loads were 420 grain @ 2100 fps & they smacked the snot out of big bears. Buffalo Bore is now loading 430 grain WFN @ 2300 FPS! BUT you will need a maximum magnum kickpad or they WILL hurt you. I'm pretty sure the factory kickpad isn't enough for the bear stoppers. No fun to shoot but better than being mauled.
@@tristantimothy1004 …and you’re familiar with it having already proven itself to you.
I like the 45-70, and have both owned and hunted with it.
I have also found that other cartridges shooting other bullets at other velocities also works.
In the unlikely event of a charge, recoil can be a factor…as well as muzzle lift.
If there’s time, we want to be on the same level as the locomotive heading our way, and drive that bullet into the center of the lead engine and exit the caboose.
Although if your blacktail falls in the alders on kodiak things get tight and that Trapper Model by Ruger would be ideal…
@@MIDNIGHTSUNALASKA , Ya, I don't go into Alder bear traps. Besides, Alaska law is if a bear claims your kill it's the bears. Only wounded griz I ever lost went into a big alder patch. I didn't get old by being stupid. Shot a standing one at 50 feet with a 220 grain round softnose loaded hot from a 300 win mag right in front of our cabin. I grabbed the WRONG rifle running out the door. Knocked him over & he still ran. Tracked him for miles until he went INTO an Alder maze. Circled it but no exit. Came back the next day & tracked him another mile where he came out the back to a big river where the tracks went into the water. Only bear I ever lost. SHOULD have used the full length 45/70 & broke his spine too on the initial shot. That was a mistake I'll never make again. 300 win square in the sternum wasn't enough gun for a 12 footer. The bears are smart, they lure hunters into tight places where you can hardly move in the Alders & they're laying in wait to ambush you. With their strength they can move through that stuff like water. Screw that! Lotsa bears, just ONE me & my family needs me a lot more than I need any bear. Short bbl rifle sounds good in theory but in there, prob useless. ADD my loads are soooo hot that even with a super mag kickpad even the full length Bbls still knock the snot out of you. 430 grain WFNHC @ 2300 FPS. OUCH!! I've got the shorter bbl Henry ( 18 inch) & it kicks like 2 mules & a horse but I'm staying with the 21 inch bbl Marlin. I've got flip up ramp sights & good out to 800. ( Moose size targets) Here in the thickly wooded interior most shots are 200 or less & the sights folded flat are good enough for that. I've taken plenty of bears w that and never needed a 2nd shot. Got attacked by a 10 ft blackie out in the swamp. Hit him square in the sternum @ 100 yards & dropped him like a brick at full charge. Found the slug just under the rear flank fur. Total energy transfer INTO that beast. 1st griz attack was at 10 feet with a 375 H&H, 300 grain Barnes X. Uphill attack. I didn't know the get down on one knee trick yet & overshot him. Hit the spine right behind his head & took out 3 vertibrea & blew a hole clean through him. Slug exited just above his boy part & blew his entire gutpack to jello. Only flipped him over & he STILL ran 150 yards away into a small lake & swam halfway across before finally dying. My friends at F&G said it was sheer adrenalin & muscle memory that kept him going & I was lucky it was a very steep hill he was charging up. Sold that useless 375 & got my 1st 45/70. Been knocking em down since & that was 36 years ago. Love the 45/70!!
@@tristantimothy1004 They have an incredible will to live…
I’m an American by birth and an Alaskan by choice…and I wouldn’t trade places with anyone.
Great stories Tristan.!
Thank You.
@@MIDNIGHTSUNALASKA , Similar story. Came for a visit, got hooked & returned permanently 7 years later. Ran a bait station for 27 years. THAT drew in tons of bears & multiple generations came. Station was only 1/4 mile from our cabin before the laws changed. Being followed home was normal. Our normal local grizzlies we're no problem. They knew us, we knew them & since we built our cabin right in the middle of THEIR major game trail daily pass through visits were pretty normal. One sow came through daily for decades w her cubs. I put a friend up in the stand & told him do NOT come down until I was there w him. She brought her cubs & slept under the stand all night. We didn't have cell phones back then so the next day when Danny didn't show up for breakfast I went looking. He was asleep on the roof of the stand. Boots ( bears name) had left before I got there & found him asleep up there. He wasn't about to come down w her/ cubs below him. Next day he got 2 of his 3 allowed & went back to Wasilla. Shot 1, and when I heard the shot I started walking out & heard the second shot in transit. ( On foot) When I got there a few mins later he was grinning from ear to ear w 2 dead bears down. 1st Hunt of a lifetime for him. I had lots of friends in that stand. We had so many bears around getting rid of all we could was necessary. After killing that BIG blackie I never shot another big one. Left thoes for my friends. We took our 3 smaller, tastier bears for winter meat. Processing that big SOB by myself was a job I never wanted to repeat. I think he was at least 800+ pounds. 11 inch wide front paws. His " death roar" when he initially saw me & charged was truly terrifying. That was the summer after my 1st grizzly attack & the 375 fiasco. HAD the 45/70 by then. I've been attacked 5 times in my 38 years out here. Not bad for 1000s of encounters over the decades. Good life! That area got too developed so we moved further north. New area only has a few bears about but 1 blackie is huge. Saw him crossing the dirt road leading out here & his back was level w our vans hood. By the time I stopped & jumped out he was GONE into the thick stuff & I wasn't about to go in after him. Too thick. 4 foot fern walls, too easy for an ambush & the big blackies scare me. Natural ambush hunter man-eaters. He killed a moose near here in a neighbor's yard. ( Weekenders up rarely) Ate the whole damned moose by himself in a week. BIG 11 inch wide front paw prints. Spooky!!
Thank you for sharing. I love the 45/70 Marlins
Thanks for watching!
Great viddy OG! Loved the Jerimiah Johnson vibes and that sweet rifle.
Great to see you back with a fire Video OG 👍🏽
God-bless you OG. Keep the hammer hot keep on shooting and never stop ,love your show dude,
OG, really liked your descriptions of the gun and the ammo as well as it's range. However, I understand that the Trapper is an all-weather rifle but, when you filmed it in the water...dude, you're killing me!! :~) It's a beautiful gun and, if I can find one, gonna get one. Thanks!!
Thanks OG!! Great video. Have a great, safe weekend!!
I had a Marlin .45-70 guide gun. It had a ported barrel which helped tame the recoil. It was a reliable gun that I regret getting rid of. My son curiously enough has one now.
I prefer my Mossberg 12 gauge with slugs 70 caliber holes vs 45 caliber holes.
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. Stay safe out there.
Thanks for watching. 🤟😎
That scenery is gorgeous.
During the lockdown, I told my buddy that I wanted a lever-action rifle. Almost immediately, I started seeing lever-action vids popping up every day on TH-cam. During that time, I had decided that the Ruger Marlin was the one I'd get, and this vid helped seal my decision. Thanks for such an informative and detailed run down. Subbed.
Thanks for watching and subbing, Tim. Glad I could help.
Congratulations on the first 100k, they'll be many more to follow, I'm sure you'll stay down to earth as always.
Another very good video, about a cool gun... Hopefully I'll put my hands on one like that soon.
Thanks George. And once again, thank you for the ammo sponsorship. It really helps keep things moving here.
Excellent vid, love the humor! Was at my local gun shop looking at that 16" barreled Marlin. I think I'm gonna get it always wanted one when that stainless first came out, but never pulled the trigger.
Great show, brother!! Love the rifle and the location there! Sweet!
Love it when when you put in in the streamt . I am sure it survived.
My favourite caliber. Love the lever action
That's a sweet rifle O.G. some of the modern day 45-70 loads are extremely hot compared traditional ammo and that really makes those rifles preform on anything in front of it.. very nice find congrats.. thank you for your service..
Thank you brother. Great content as always.
Congrats brother on the 100k! You've earned every subscriber! Thanks for the entertainment brother.

Beautiful rifle, beautiful landscape, awesome content. Nice to see you hit 100k, well deserved. :)
Thank you sir.
Great video, OG. One of the first centerfire rifles I fired was a Marlin 336C in 35 Rem.
Great video Gregg, and congrats on 100K! Well deserved, and hopefully another 100K+! I’d love to get a Ruger SBL, and I have TWO original JM Marlin SS Guide Guns. Awesome rifles, and here in Fla. I call them Swamp Cannons! The biggest wild boar have no chance against the ‘45/70 Beast’! Best wishes and carry on!
Thanx Greg. Great vid and oh I so want one of those for the sheer cannon like fun!!
I have the Henry All Weather in 45-70, I pair it with my TC Contender 14” barrel, also in 45-70. It’s proven to be a deadly pair. Thanks for the video, and congratulations on breaking 100,000, well deserved.
Thanks, Hatch!
That thing is a beautiful Cannon!

Awesome! Keep up the good work. Happy New Year!
Thanks OG. I have been wanting a 45-70 lever for a while now. It seems like a good truck gun if stranded in the middle of nowhere.
You always tell the truth,, and you know from all your experience,, love that and mostly believe you,,

Oh O.G. I love gun channels that teach history 👍🏻👍🏻
Congratulations on 100k Gregg! We obviously love you! I have always shied away from 45-70 due to its violent reputation with recoil, however, I love my shotguns so, who knows! Great video as always!
They are not that bad.
Jeff, with a triple magnum kickpad most can handle the recoil. I left mine full sized for the maximum pressure spread & the grizzlies don't give a rip about apperrance. We shoot really HOT bear loads up here & you need the FAST firepower ESPECIALLY in a multiple bear attack. AND, This is one rifle you NEVER shoot laying down or it will hurt you. Even sitting is rough. Gotta be able to let the rifles recoil push you backwards.
@@tristantimothy1004 Thank you for this knowledge!
@@jeffslaven , Had a friend who got a new one w that stupid hard plastic butt plate. I warned him NOT to shoot my bear loads until he put a magnum kickpad on it. 300 lb Bill didn't listen. Spent the rest of the summer in an armsling, tore out his collarbone 1st shot. These bear loads are almost 458 power. 3-4 practice rounds & I'm done for the day. NOT fun to shoot but better than being bear mauled. And, I'm just a lil guy. Was 5'9" & 140 lbs. Bill figured his mass could handle it w/o the kickpad. He was WRONG. I have the super magnum kickpads on our bear shotguns too. Even my smaller wife can handle a few of those. She tried the 45/70 w regular Govt loads, no problem. Also wanted to try my hot bear loads. 1st shot spun her, so she figured she'd try holding the rifle a lil way away from her shoulder instead of holding it in tight like I showed her. 2nd shot not only spun her but knocked her down & the rifle went flying. Got pictures of her bruised & black/blue all about the shoulder area. But no real damage except to her ego & a bruised butt where she fell on it. She prefers her semi auto 12 guage slug shotgun. Kicks less. What I DO know from experience is that when the bear charges ones adrenalin dumps instantly & you never hear the blast or feel the recoil until AFTER the grizzlies down & your not. Doesn't matter then. Skinning & butchering time. 😀😀 I've never needed more than 1 shot to flatten em either but it's comforting to know you got em if you need em. W me, rechambering is automatic. It's amazing what one can do when your scared silly.
Man, I love your channel. No nonsense delivery giving me the info I want (need) to hear. Keep ‘em coming.
I love short barrel thumper sticks. My normal deer rifle is a Ruger American Predator with a 16” barrel in 308. Light, packs a punch, doesn’t get snagged in Easter woodland pricker bushes. Shoots better than I can.
Thanks for doing what you do. Congrats on 100k! Here’s to your next 500k!
Thank you sir. Glad you dig the show.
Looks good OG, I love my 45-70's, I have both an old Marlin, and a Rolling Block that uses black powder loaded rounds.
OG congrats on reaching 100k OGrs! My first shotgun I fired was a 30" bolt action goose gun my uncle had back in the 70's. I always had a soft spot for the lever guns of the old days but never got one. I still have an original Marlin 60 that I will cherish forever. Be safe and keep on doing what you do. Shared your channel to friends and family who love their 2a rights🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on the 100K subscribers. Nice mountain retreat too.
Always enjoy your content. Keep up the great reviews.!!👍
Thanks for watching!
Good day eh!, just checking your channel out, had to sub, just your way of describing things made me laugh, and back in 2010 I purchased a marlin gbl 45/70, 20" barrel, I put 2 boxes of 305 grain hollow points down the pipe, then my lovely marlins guts fell out,n my both sights fell off, so, back it went, almost soured me from lever actions, but now I own a chiappa wildlands 44 mag, absolutely luvn this 16 " threaded barrel top rail for optics , but it has high visibility front with peep rear, awesome combo, no need for optics, got just over a 2 # trigger, it's my go to rifle now, it works fantastic, shakyjake out.
Great Video as always OG. Congratulations on hitting the 100k mark.
Thank you sir. 🤟😎
Great now I need to get one of them, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video. I've always liked those lever action rifles. That 45-70 would definitely erase a quail! Congrats on the 100k subs!

Thank you, Sir. Great review. I'm very happy with my marlin trapper.💥🙌🏼💥
Nice rifles Gregg. Hope you and the family had a good New Year. All the best for the coming year. Well done on 100k subs
Thanks. 🤟😎
O.G...triple O.G...!...dig the humor....great site...keep them come'n....watch your back in krazy California...thank u...
Great video! I have an 1895 Marlin Guide model in 450 Marlin Mag. Usually when you have a jam with a lever action rifle it is from not opening the lever all the way before starting to jack the new round in the chamber. About the same thing as short stroking a pump shotgun.
I usually learn things by screwing up, but I still occasionally jam my lever action rifles that way.
Happy New Year ya old flatfoot. It's always a pleasure to see you. We have a Winchester 1894 AE and M73 limited competition short stroke and one Marlin 336 30-30. The Marlin has a better grip. The Winnies are easier to carry around. Glad you like yours.
As always, great content! I love lever guns. My first rifle my dad gave me is a Winchester model 94 30-30. Still have it! Keep posting brother!
Thanks for watching, Todd. 🤘😎
Congratulations on the 100 K first off. My son as well as a good friend have 45-70’s and I love shooting them both. Great pig gun for brush hunting and like you said can be a very nice tactical gun. The 450 Marlin is also another great round with better ballistics as well as the 458 SCOM for you AR folks.
I have reloaded for both my son and friends 45-70. Haven’t really played around which powder works the best just used IMR 4350. I know right now 45-70 ammo is a bit hard to find which makes having brass that can be reloaded a nice thing to have.
Outstanding work
I always love the sound of rounds on steel. 😊
As always great info. One of these is on my wish list!
Here's hoping '23 is a safe, happy and prosperous year for the O.G Family. Regards from Scotland.
So happy to see the ammo getting used. Love the looks of that Trapper, OG. You looked way too happy shooting it.
Stay safe my friend until you can get that pin pulled and full time residency in the NW!
It’s coming soon, Marty. Less than six months away from freedom.
@@OGsDangerShow , You'd make a great Alaskan! Even if we are being overrun with California bunnyhuggers. Still a free state where guns, especially big ones are a way of life.
