When legislation or preferences steer a shooter away from a semi-auto carbine, it’s time to go with Plan B: The tactical lever-action rifle.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

What Are Top Tactical Lever-Actions:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I live in one of those onerous corners of America, where the boot heel of tyranny has attempted to exert pressure. In short, my particular municipality took a crack at banning a host of firearms. This included, of course, the venerable AR-15 among other semi-auto carbines.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the law was eventually rebuked by the state supreme court, but the situation did get me thinking \u2026\u00a0The times being what they are, what\u2019s a passable stand-in for a semi-auto carbine?\u00a0Not exactly the thought experiment most want to conduct, but an unfortunate one many citizens must ponder or at least should perchance the inmates ever end up running their particular asylum.<\/p>\n

As chances have it, some gunmakers appear sensitive to this very question and, for all intents and purposes, have concocted a workable solution. Here, I speak of the tactical lever-action.<\/p>\n

By no means are the systems a one-for-one analog of an AR, AK or any other semi-auto, but the quintessentially American gun has proven itself time and again. Crack open a history book concerning the nation\u2019s westward expansion, and the examples are rife\u2014from the legendary Winchester 1873 taming the frontier to the Marlin 1894 opening up the vast Alaskan backcountry.<\/p>\n

These are as carbine hard as the men who used them living off the land as they were fending the back forty. Quite a r\u00e9sum\u00e9! And they\u2019ve only grown better with time. In their present modernized form, the lever-gun is equally as adept an instrument for guarding the suburban homestead as they are a do-anything option for tackling the apocalypse.<\/p>\n

Tactical Lever-gun breakdown<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s no hard and fast rule on what constitutes a tactical lever-action. Certainly, many write them off as merely polymer-stocked iterations of the originals. True, some wear plastic, but not all. And really, there are some nuances to what\u2019s offered, besides dark finishes and ominous names, such as \u201cDark Series\u201d (Marlin) and \u201cModel X\u201d (Henry).<\/p>\n
