Ranger Point quality and customer Service is top notch. Ordered the barrel band forearm when I needed the End cap version (found out while watching your old video to install), emailed them and they sent me a return label and shipped the correct part out immediately! Great company.
Love these videos and dedication to the lever action platform, amazing how these beautiful and awesome rifles don't get more recognition than they do, so glad I found this channel. Just finally got my new marlin 1895 SBL and got my RPP parts ordered. Keep up the great work!!!!!
Nice demonstration. I put this handguard on my new Marlin Trapper a few weeks ago. I used your Gen 1 video to help me install. Even though the handguards were a bit different, your video was still extremely helpful.
It is a very cool setup! Excellent for something like a clip-on thermal and night hunting. I'm almost done with my testing and will be doing a review of it very soon 👍
Thank you for the videos. New to the 45-70 world and my first purchase was the trapper. looking for fit videos on possible upgrades and your videos have been extremely helpful.
Brian, I'd like to see a video on scopes for the 45-70. Both standard and scout scopes. And maybe best or most useful power considering the amount of drop on the 45-70. Great videos, keep them coming.
Wow this install is far more involved than I originally thought. Was almost impossible hammering that piece out and may have even chipped the metal a little removing that piece as shown…. Hope my rifle isn’t ruined from having to beat on it that hard.
The Carlson extends to the left, so I have no need for it. Of the two, I would pick Henry. If I could have any, I would go with the Ranger Point because it is heavily stippled and very easy to get a secure grip on with your thumb.
Sure thing, I did one a while back, but several tools have changed since then. I'll do an updated one. Thanks so much for watching! Glad you find the videos to be helpful 👍
I saw that they came out with a gen 2 for the Henry levers, which has a cut out for the loading port. I wonder if it's worth making the switch....who am I kidding, I'll buy it as soon as it comes back in stock.
Thanks so much for the content - I just installed this handguard on my Marlin 336 Dark series (remlin). My RPP front tenon was very snug and took some persuation to get in. Would the front two set screws be considered optional if the tenon fits very snugly? Considering the Gen 1 handguard had no set screws and I dont like the idea of those screws leaving marks on my barrel.
Had a quick question for ya. I have one of the new Ruger 1895 sbls and I noticed something I have a question on. In one of your older videos you put a hand guard on a remlin 1895 and mention the bulge on the magazine tube and the importance about the direction due to loading. I noticed that my new ruger made Marlin 1895 sbl doesn't have this bulge at all. It is completely smooth all the way. I just wanted to know if you noticed this as well or if I should be contacting Marlin for warranty😂
No, I've only done takedown screws and handguard to the gun itself. Check with Henry Customer Service or Louthan Gunworks on IG. They should be able to confirm. I think you'd be fine, but I would check just to be sure.
I knew you were gonna get that trapper lol. I’ve been behaving since I already have the Dark and the new SBL. I wonder if I need to upgrade my gen 1 hand guard to this one piece one for my Dark.
hi do you know if you could fit the midwest industries handguard adaptor under one of these as my 1894 has the barrel band which is around 8.5 inches from the receiver whereas i think the hole for the screws on the guard is 10 inches? thanks.
What rifle is at 00:34 standing up in the middle? Stainless steel with the grey laminate. It looks similar to a Rossi R95 30-30 I checked out today but I'm wondering if it will accept the RPP parts. Not as desirable with the SS but i think a black would be alright.
Hey I know this is an older video, but I just bought this exact rifle and am installing a Ranger Point Precision handguard and my magazine tube has no bulge… I haven’t attempted loading or firing yet. Do some 1895s not have a mag tube bulge?? Or did mine get put together on a Friday at 4:30
I’m buying the same rifle as well I’ve heard no bulge on newer ones. Was going to put the costa hand guard with the full gator pic rails. Let me know what you find out.
@@millin9528 I got the handguard installed and loaded up some rounds. They seem to load and eject just fine. I guess no tube bulge is needed for this particular rifle.
Not to be a bit picker but with an underlever I usually rack it three times. Racking once just means an empty chamber, given you probably checked the lifter, a little extra insurance never goes amiss. 😉
@@buildhuntxplore No problem, easy to get comfortable with them when you're as experienced as you obviously are👍 After 40 years I have to remind myself too 🙂
Well I think everyone would agree that fuck that tenet 😂 100% sand it don't even try to think yours will go straight in there is a reason they sell the part on its own 😅
Just used this video for a successful install on a Remlin 1895. Thank you for your time and content!
Your videos have helped me and have given me the confidence to assemble all the RPP parts on my Marlin XLR thank you, keep doing what you do.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the feedback and am glad the videos have helped you!

That's awesome! I'm glad the videos have helped. Thanks so much for your support & good luck with your build!!!
Ranger Point is quality!! Thank you for these videos, I’d be screwed without them 😂
LOL you're welcome! I'm glad they've helped and thanks for watching!!
I enjoy your vids everytime they come....you help me so much with my 45-70...keep up the great work Brian...
Thank you so much! I’m glad the videos have helped you 👍

I like the new MI Extended Sight System M-LOK handguard with the full-length top Picatinny rail.
It is a very cool setup! Excellent for something like a clip-on thermal and night hunting. I'm almost done with my testing and will be doing a review of it very soon 👍
Thanks so much for making these videos- I converted my 1895 using RPP parts and these videos were 100% helpful.
Thank you very much for your videos! They are enjoyed and greatly appreciated. Picking up my Trapper, today! Just need RPP to keep stuff in stock! 😁
You're welcome & thank you for your support! I'm glad the videos are helpful!

Question on the tensioning screws. Do the screws end up marring the metal on the barrel if you tighten it firmly?
This is giving me flashbacks of sanding that stupid tenon haha
Mine went in with only a few taps no sanding...300+ rounds of 45-70 hasn't come loose
LOL
Lucky you, T. Ellison! lol
Which do you prefer as far as trigger extensions go ? Henry Hammer Spur or the Carlson Hammer Spur.
The Carlson extends to the left, so I have no need for it. Of the two, I would pick Henry. If I could have any, I would go with the Ranger Point because it is heavily stippled and very easy to get a secure grip on with your thumb.
Thank you for your videos I was wondering what are the 2 wood stock rifles behind you
Are you going to test the hoptics handguard?
If given the opportunity, for sure 👍 Matt makes great stuff!
Would you mind doing a video on the tools you recommend for gunsmithing? I love the installation videos. They are easy to follow along with.
Sure thing, I did one a while back, but several tools have changed since then. I'll do an updated one. Thanks so much for watching! Glad you find the videos to be helpful 👍
@@buildhuntxplore I appreciate it. Please tell us why you like these tools. Most of us don't have near your expirence. Keep up the good work.
Will do, thanks!!
I saw that they came out with a gen 2 for the Henry levers, which has a cut out for the loading port. I wonder if it's worth making the switch....who am I kidding, I'll buy it as soon as it comes back in stock.
LOL yeah it's pretty awesome. That video will be coming next week 👍
@@buildhuntxplore You just answered my next question. Just got my Henry Gen 2 in the mail a few days ago. Can't wait to see the video.
When it comes to 100yd accuracy do you recommend the Henry side gate steel or the Marlin/Ruger Guide gun both all chambered in 45-70?

Where do you add the blue lock-tigh/stake the tenon? I’ll be doing this soon and don’t want to mess it up.
Thanks In advance
Great video. Does the hand guard work on the 1895trapper model? Or is the barrel too short? Thanks
Thanks! Yep it works 👍 instagram.com/p/CkbrH0yuuBZ/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Thanks!
Do you have a video of taking a Henry x apart? My hammer screw is coming loose and I want to loctite it but I don't want to screw something up.
No, I've only done takedown screws and handguard to the gun itself. Check with Henry Customer Service or Louthan Gunworks on IG. They should be able to confirm. I think you'd be fine, but I would check just to be sure.
I knew you were gonna get that trapper lol. I’ve been behaving since I already have the Dark and the new SBL. I wonder if I need to upgrade my gen 1 hand guard to this one piece one for my Dark.
Lol it's so awesome! The new handguard is really nice.
Thanks for the video. I noticed you replaced the skinner sight with a picatinny rail. Is that the one from Ranger Point?
Welcome! Yep, it's the cloverleaf pic rail so I can do some optics testing. Thanks for watching!
What is the short pic rail you have on there? That’s the size I would like for the trapper
The pic rail on the receiver is from Ranger Point Precision, it's their Rhino rail.
Mornin Bri!!
Morning!

Hi im having issues sliding the handguard into place. It isnt fully seating with the chamber..
Time for a few taps from the persuader

Things are happening, lots of stuff in the works 😁👍
🔥👍
Thanks!

A very nice tutorial.
However, replacing a butt-ugly forend with a butt-uglier forend.
warranty department all accounted for
Lol
