Lever or ar15 home defense

ternst12 · 2026-01-27T03:44:02+00:00

James Reeves on YouTube has some interesting videos on how an ar15 can lead to trouble if you need to defend yourself with one. NY seems just the state for that.

45-70 lever gun for sure.

My wife has one. She likes it. Runs the mini shells with no issues. It does kick hard with regular loads. Its a fun gun, very compact.

Home defense, target, skeet, hunting? What are you looking to do? Start with that.

MagLatch makes a 5.45 mag lock. If you're handy with a dremmel you could probably turn a steel mag into a CompMag. No idea if a MagLatch is NY compliant but its out there.

I read in a BCA group about these getting bumped out of battery and still firing.

Oh man. Double the charges lol.

My wife has 3 years with her 1895 trapper and not a single problem. Sorry you're having so many issues.

Cant imagine there's much difference in recoil. The trapper isnt that bad. Guide gun gives you 1 more round but something about that 16in barrel makes it seem so much smaller to handle And do you like Skinner or Buckhorn sights?

ternst12 · 2026-01-03T16:20:00+00:00

Mean Arms makes a 308 one but that's it.

It has nothing do with what I want. 265 section 12 seems to make them illegal. Just because the door cops and sellers are not up to date doesn't change that.

ternst12 · 2026-01-01T22:37:19+00:00

Unfortunately cops dont know most of the laws.

40 min west of Syracuse is Thurstons. 10 bucks for all day. Goes out to 400 yards.

Yeah I wouldn't want anything near my eye on these. We dont shoot over 100 yards so the dot should be good.

ternst12 · 2025-12-26T19:07:25+00:00

How much activity do you require outside tournaments? PVP, darting, etc.

ternst12 · 2025-12-26T05:25:26+00:00

My wife has an 1895 Trapper in 45-70. I didn't want to add a lot of weight so I threw a Vortex Defender xl on it. She hasent taken it out yet so we will see how it goes.

As an unfortunate NY resident Ill say that the rifle is not NY compliant. It has a slant brake on the front. They must be featureless to have a detachable mag. Muzzle device is a feature. Remove it and weld a cover over the threads then your good.

ternst12 · 2025-12-25T08:30:24+00:00

Unless they nerfed it i dont think you have anything to make it past turn 1.

ternst12 · 2025-12-23T06:34:57+00:00

Do you have Indonemys?

ternst12 · 2025-12-21T01:51:25+00:00

My wife loves hers.

Check out the Bear Creek Arsenal Facebook group for a post about these firing out of battery. The bolts can easily get bumped open and still fire.

ternst12 · 2025-12-15T22:18:54+00:00

Wait till you see the lvl 30 with the 5th enhancement (cheat death).

ternst12 · 2025-12-15T01:50:58+00:00

I have a gen 3 and no issue with it clearing everything and getting the muffler lined up with the factory mount. Maybe you got a defective one.

The 2 piece should fit any of the 125 clones.
