Recoil Testing of the Lever Action Red Dot Mount
Howdy all! We're back at the range with boxes of unsorted, old .45-70 ammo to put some rounds through a Browning (Winchester) 1886 lever action rifle. Attached to the side is our new Lever Action Red Dot Mount, meant to fasten an RMR-footprint red dot to a lever action rifle.

Installation is pretty darn easy, especially if your receiver was drilled for a receiver-mounted Lyman sight. Just tighten in the two screws, holding the bracket at the right height to clear the action. Attach a red dot, and you're ready to start zeroing.
00:00 Introduction
A little look at the rifle and red dot we'll be working with. In this case, it's an 1886 lever action. The rifle had already been drilled for a Lyman sight, which has been replaced by this red dot mount. On top of that sits a TD-3C Red Dot.
01:27 Firing Tests
Lesson 1: Some of the ammo does not fire
Lesson 2: Some of the ammo does not feed
Lesson 3: Firing enough rounds will bruise your shoulder, but is incredibly fun. Also, the mount did not shake loose, even though it was not attached with any Loctite. I'll be putting some blue loctite in place once we're back at the office and the rifle's feeding issues have been fixed.
06:24 The Wrap-Up
I'm sitting here with a different lever action. This particular rifle has similar holes on the side of the receiver, so I moved the Red Dot Mount over to the new rifle. This one is also a .45-70, and we have plenty more ammo left. I'll be taking this one to the range next time - it has much prettier engraving and a smoother action.
