Overview

This lever-action pistol brings the Mare’s Leg format into a more practical, modern setup for hunters and shooters who want a compact .45-70 Gov’t option. It features a 13.8-inch round blued steel barrel, fiber optic sights, and a drilled-and-tapped receiver with Weaver 63B scope mount compatibility for added sighting flexibility. The black synthetic pistol-grip stock and transfer bar safety keep the package straightforward and utility-focused, while the 5/8x24 threaded barrel adds another layer of setup options. At 6.59 pounds with a 3-round capacity, it is suited to range use and other applications where a short, maneuverable lever gun format makes sense.

Pros

  • Compact 25.1-inch overall length suits a trimmed-down lever-action pistol format.
  • Fiber optic front and rear sights support quick sight acquisition.
  • Drilled and tapped receiver allows scope mounting with Weaver 63B base.
  • 5/8x24 threaded barrel adds accessory compatibility.
  • Black synthetic stock and pistol grip provide a practical, straightforward setup.
  • Transfer bar safety is included for added handling security.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • The 13.8" barrel and 25.1" overall length make this a compact lever-action pistol, but that format also means it is not intended to handle like a full-length rifle.
  • At 6.59 lbs., it has enough weight to notice during extended carry, so it is more of a deliberate pack or range piece than a lightweight sidearm.
  • The .45-70 Gov't chambering brings substantial cartridge size, so ammunition choice and recoil management are practical considerations for any shooter.
  • The included fiber optic sights and drilled-and-tapped receiver support simple setup, but optics use depends on the compatible Weaver 63B mount and your preferred configuration.
