Keep it civil.

Got a custom set of polymer furniture made, because I really love the look of the Henry Axe, but also really love their Model X lineup.

So, I put them together, sorta!

Loving the red dot on this, too, as it doesn't seem to show me a starburst like most other red dots do (I have astigmatism in my dominant eye).

And the single point sling makes toting it a breeze, if I choose to not do the holster.

  • Henry Mare's Leg 357
  • Custom made furniture
  • Monstrum Pic Rail
  • Vortex Defender ST
  • Sig Single Point Bungee Sling

Future plans:

  • Cut down pic rail to minimum length
  • Leather wraps for foreend, grip, and lever loop
  • Remove iron sights, install dovetail blanks
  • Weld steel studs to outside of lever, for a knuckleduster

I wonder what's different with that particular red dot. Every one I've looked through without glasses or contacts shows a star.

My guess is a finer laser? Or, maybe a bigger, less focused laser?

I even see the starbursts with my glasses, too, so mine is pretty bad. Contacts fully corrects it, by and large, except for the worst of the worst.

I found that turning down the brightness helps a bit with the star
