  • The 45-70 Modern Lever Action is an odd concept. The Thumper V2 is a concoction from Mad Pig Customs that attempts to bring these ancient but formidable 45-70 guns to the modern era. To they succeed? We hope to delve into that with this video.

    Yes, semi-automatics are superior in almost every way, but like Brandon Herrera says, you have to respect the drip. As you said, lever-actions are just cool. And at the end of the day, if that's all you can get, at least they're functional. You just have to train with them, as with every weapon.
    I also respect Charlie for the commitment to the accent

      Yeah it's unfortunate cause they're also super expensive because of that.
      I'm Canadian so I plan to get a good brush gun, as I may as well go tube fed if we can only have 5 shots in a magazine.
      So technically a lever action that can hold more than 5 rounds is a high capacity weapon in my backwards country.
      I could just get a bolt action for a fraction of the price. But I'll go with .45/70 cause I need at least one government I can trust

      you can get short bolties and you can actually shoot bolties faster because length of pull is less there also more accurate and durable because there’s only like two moving parts (unless you don’t have a safety) then really only one moving part also quicker to load with stripper clips and considerably more reliable. Also bolt action rifles were used in Wild West kraig Jorgensen is what took out most Indians US army and cowboys used it

    This rifle has lots of power ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL , hard recoil and a little heavier than expected which affects accuracy, especially when firing freehand or hunting small game. Really rough on sites, as it often moves inside mounting rings. Replaced sight with a UTG Bugbuster, which required medium height mounting rings, but improved accuracy while sighting in as shown in attached photo, at 20 yards using Gamo Match Diablo pellets at 7.56 grain. Nonetheless, I am still trying to figure out where to install the mounting rings on the scope to avoid it from sliding around, as it becomes misaligned after about 50 or 60 shots. Currently considering using heavier pellets at about 9 grain with different tips like the H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme or the Crosman Ultra Magnum to see if accuracy improves. Overall, I am having lots of fun with this rifle.

    Most gun channels have this weird comedy they use in the videos. It's like forced comedy where the host acts like a goof, which is the only way I can describe it. But Garand Thumb is the only weapons channel that has legitimate funny moments in their videos by using great editing and amazing hosts, all while giving you knowledge and history about weapons. When you have a diverse team with background and unique knowledge in weapons, and they make the content both a learning experience and funny. That's a winning formula.

    Living in the UK, we don't have semi auto's over 22LR so underlevers are very common. i normally use a 38 special or 44 underlever for indoor shooting. they're great guns to be honest. when i first tried them i thought why am i trying to be a cowboy...? but once you shoot them there is just something special about the reload that gives you a good feeling.

      The lever action is an archetypical American firearm. I don't think any other country developed them. In Europe they went straight to the bolt action when multiple shot weapons became military standard. They just have a beautiful feel in the hand.

      I've got a Henry Golden Boy in .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle that's one of my favorites. Unbelievably accurate with the iron sites although they are a little fine, making them a bit hard to acquire quickly for me in dim light although they're "safari" type so you can get the rough aim pretty quick, and a very well made rifle, probably the best of all my collection as far as everything fitting well and the finish being so perfect. I'd love to have one in .357 mag/.38 spl or second choice .44 mag/.44 spl. I'm not really thrilled about having one in .30-30 Win as I'd rather have a rifle with a side loading gate rather than the type that you have to pull the tube out. In the shorter cartridges I don't see that as a disadvantage and it's in keeping somewhat with the cartridges and capacities more or less with the original Henrys. I'm not sure they were ever produced with a longer cartridge like the .30-30 Win. That being said the modern Henrys are a different design I think than the originals and just similar in appearance and operation to the originals which works for me but not really a true even close replica in design. I don't know if that's an improvement in some way or a cost concern.
      The owner's manual reccomends against CB caps and shot shells but they cycle through the action just fine although I don't use ratshot in it I did test that to see if it might not cycle through the action or something. With CB caps it's almost as quiet as a pellet gun, maybe quieter than some which if you;re doing some late night pest control is an advantage as even in the sticks you might live near enough to neighbors you would possibly disturb them with a regular round, or even a sub sonic or a short.

      @@dwaynestomp5462 From what you said then this maybe the setup for you. In 357 or 44.Louthan Gunworks can do the work for you if need be. Enjoy!

    I love that intro so much. To me it's the best by far, the little dialogue shots, such good evening lighting and the composition between you two. So cool, this would be so much fun to film.

    I'm digging the new energy brought by this Charlie character, and watching Michael do the "Jim Halpert" face every time the music stops and Charlie says something nuts.
