    This gun build has been over a year in the making. It finally culminated in my Osprey 9 can being approved and picked up this weekend. Bought a Rossi Ranch Hand .357 over a year ago and immediately filed SBR paperwork on it. Once the paperwork came in, I installed the buttstock off a Rossi M92 onto the Ranch Hand to make it an official SBR. Then sent the barrel out to have it threaded and an adapter made to clear the magazine tube. Then installed a Pearson's Tactical Rail and a Primary Arms Micro Red Dot. Finished it off with a custom leather buttstock cover/ammo holder and big loop leather cover. The Osprey 9 is the icing on the cake.

    This thing is QUIET shooting .38SPL. Like suppressed .22 quiet.

    I have always loved lever action guns, but I am a modern firearms collector primarily. I think this is the perfect mix.

    Very nice. I had planned to do that with my Ranch Hand, but the project stalled due to some technical difficulties and I ended up selling off my pistol.

    Got any videos of the gun in action?

    That's pretty awesome, been kinda wanting to do the same thing to a Marlin or Winchester .357 since I put a can on my 30-30. Would LOVE to do that to a Marlin .41 mag :)

    Very cool! I've had my Rossi for quite awhile and a couple of years ago had AllenM shorten and thread the barrel for my TM ISIS-9. He also installed an XS rear sight and I made a taller front sight to see over the can. It is so much fun to shoot

    Man those lever guns look good! I've been really wanting to get my hands on a 357 lever gun to suppress and run 38 subs through!

    Where did you have the barrel threaded? How long did it take for the sbr approval?
