Show me your lever action rifles!

[fencer]

Don't know if this has been done before, did a search and came up empty.

When I was a boy nothing thrilled me more than a lever action rifle. Dad had a beautiful old Winchester 30-30 that he won at a Turkey Shoot and I would look forward to the days when we would take it out and would marvel at it when he let me clean it.

I was amazed at the union of steel and wood. The craftsmanship and the pure form left me longing for the days when i was old enough to own one myself, and while I appreciate bolt actions, semi-auto's, 1911's and wheelguns, there is nothing quite like a nice lever action rifle.

So lets see em!

Actually, I don't even have pics of all my lever guns, but here's what I have on file.

This is a pair of Ithaca Model 49's, one has been refinished in Cerakote by Lou @ Business End Customs

I also have several Winchesters and Brownings, plus a Henry, a Marlin 1894C and a stainless Rossi R92 (.44) for good measure.

I have a 9422 in .22lr, a 94 in .30/30, an 1873 in .32/20, a 92 in .44magnum, an 1876 in .45/60WCF and an 1886 in .45/70. The .22 and the .30/30 have round barrels and shotgun butts. The rest have octagonal barrels and crescent butts. All have full length magazine tubes. I don't know how to post pictures. Most of this computer crap is beyond my limited comprehension.

Here's a pic of my only lever action. Its a 1948 Winchester 94, in 32 Win Special. I actually scored this rifle by total chance. I was heading to the range one day, and an older gentleman working on his deceased mother in laws house (no one had been there in 3-5 years) saw me and called me over. He said he had two rifles and two shotguns he wanted to part with. I ended up buying the Model 94 and a 1920-1925 H&R shot gun, for $180! It was a great day.

1954 Marlin 39A.. I don't have a picture of it that I can post.

I will neither confirm or deny the ownership of this 1984 mfg. Marlin 1894CS. I will say, though, that its current owner loves it.

Here is a Marlin Model 336 Micro Groove Barrel 30-30. Gun is really in good condition. Has some small rust spots I want to get out, but otherwise really nice.

Here is a Winchester Model 94 30-30. Pretty beat up. I recently acquired it, and would like to refinish it down the road. But first need to clean it and see if she still shoots!

 

[fencer]

That old Winchester has some character

That old Winchester has some character

I think my step father at some point scrubbed the blueing off the barrel, and it has 1 small dent in the top of the feeding tube. But otherwise I may just clean it, and leave it as is. Still have yet to shoot it. It sat in his attic for about 15 yrs.

don't grip the rifle like this when using john's hot-loaded rounds...

you might punch yourself in the face...

yeah, that's blood...

everyone sat there quietly for a second awaiting my response--which naturally was "THAT WAS WESOME!"

 

[JohnMarston]

i have a couple sears/JC higgins repeaters in 30-30 and .35 rem (that 35 is a carbine and my family calls it the Hammer) and a particularly special Browning BL-22 i will post pictures of tomorrow. Beautiful fit and finish, really shoots great!
