Only problem is what I want has to be made. Help me out here.
I want a lever or pump action repeater.
.30 Badger.
Short, 16.5" barrel.
Suppressible.
Lightweight.
Blued steel/wood, nothing plastic or aluminum.
Receiver-mounted aperture sight (Williams or Skinner)
8-10 cartridge capacity.
Since I'll have to rebarrel and chamber it myself and thread he muzzle, I don't mind a beater project.
Being a Marlin fan the obvious starting point would be an 1894. Being a Henry rifle fan as well, the BB 357 might also appear a good choice but the magazine tube interferes with the suppressor. I might want to hot-rod it a little so I think toggle-link systems are out.
What would you do?
