.45 ACP Rifle
Don't judge me, sometimes we do because we want to, not because it makes any sense..
I have a Marlin .357 rifle to go with one of several .357 revolvers .... so I thought (big mistake.. thinking,, normally cost lost of money when I do that) what about a .45 ACP lever action rifle to go with my .45 ACP pistols..... alas, I cant find one.. There are .45 LC versions,,,and I see "it'll blow up bullet point to primer" discussions in a tubular mag..which could be solved with ammo selection (restriction)
But are there any .45 ACP rifles out there in the wild or only something custom built and a novelty at best.
Not looking for Thompson MG clone, SemiAuto, or a Highpoint anything... but really, a lever gun...
Edited to highlight the apparent hidden requirement..

Use your search engine. I see several.

Re: .45 ACP Rifle
Marlin has the Camp 45 which is pretty nice. Hard to find though. If Keltec made a Sub 2000 chambered in 45acp I would buy one. It would go great with my Glock 21SF.

Wow that was helpful, now why didn't I think of using a search engine.... Oh wait.......Commander Cody wrote:Use your search engine. I see several.
... Im familiar with Google. And I used it, I see NO lever action .45ACP rifles Do you?, please post a link.
While there are a few out there in other configurations none I found in a lever action...

Re: .45 ACP Rifle
So, you could piece together an AR - 45acp.
But there is also Beretta Cx4 Storm, HiPoint Carbines, KRISS had a couple carbines, MPA1SST45, Taurus had a CT G2 Carbine (dunno if it's still around) and, of course MY favorite, the Thompson M1 or 1927A1 carbines.

I am looking for a lever action, .45 ACP rifle
Not a carbine
Not a bolt action
Not anything made by Highpoint
Not a Semi Auto
But something like the one in the article I linked to above.
Thanks for the assist though.

Re: .45 ACP Rifle
I'm vaguely familiar with lever actions, and I'm vaguely familiar with semi-auto pistols. So if I ask a dumb question, just rack it up to another 'dumb question by Joe'!
I've never heard of a rimless cartridge(like .45acp) in a lever gun. Do they make ANY lever action guns that accommodate ANY caliber rimless cartridges? All the lever guns I'm familiar with uses rimmed cartridges.

Can't find a link but supposedly C.E. Harris converted a Marlin to .45 ACP that was written up in The American Rifleman magazine.

Thanks for the education Jeff! I wasn't thinking along the lines of magazine fed lever guns. Duh!

Re: .45 ACP Rifle
Interestingly enough, I found the same question posted on The High Road. Interesting read if one is so inclined:
