Exactly. I just want something to knock the edge off, the smaller and lighter the better. Most of my shooting with this rifle would be about 50 yards offhand in the backyard, because levers are so damn fun, and then an occasional shot from a tree stand. Don’t need a do-everything, full-auto rated can for that.Me: I'd like a versatile 45 cal can that's appropriate for a lightweight hunting gun that I'm going shoot maybe 50-100 rds/yr through and then drag through the woods.
Silencer industry: here's a do-everything big-bore can that is a foot long, weighs 20oz, is built from cobalt superalloy, and can handle a string of full-auto 338 Lapua Mag.
Awesome to see Marlin back in the game:

I expect they will soon be successful at separating me from some of my money.
Just looked that one up. It looks pretty good, but it’s only rated for a 20” minimum barrel length on a 45-70. I would have thought that even hot loads out of a 45-70 would be lower pressure, comparatively speaking.
I probably shouldn't have said that. It may not be lighter, but it’s .45 and light.
Nah, too long and heavy for what I want on the end of a lever gun. Ideally it would be short and light enough to not change the feel. Which is what lever guns are all about.
