Wrong caliber.
TR's favorite was the .405 Winchester, the one he called "Big Medicine".

Nice!

I have a Grade II model with the checkered stock and engraved receiver, which I bought new in the late 80's.
I love the short stroke action, you can flick your hand open to cycle it without taking your thumb off the stock.

 

[JohnMarston]

agreed zappa, i love how slick and quick the action is on that BL. it was actually my fathers, i still have the box for it! i literally took it out of the box after it had sat for 15 yrs or so, cleaned it and lubed it then proceeded to group with it. the CCI's produced the best groups. do you shoot yours Zap?

Dom

p.s. love zappa, he's the man!

 

[Patriot]

Pre-64 Winchester '94 in .32 Win Spl. First and only lever gun. I love it. Got it right here on NES
a couple of years ago. I reload for it as well, using re-formed 30-30 brass, a RCBS 32-170-FN mould,
and 5744 powder. Came with the original Scout Scope.

Not very often.
It comes out of the safe once in a blue moon.
I have over a dozen lever guns, so the mileage stays low on most of them.
I was shooting my 1971 vintage Marlin 39A last weekend.

 

[That Guy]

This is my Winchester model 94 manufactured in 1951 or 52. My father bought this used when he was in high school - it's been re-finished at least twice, was drilled for the peep sight and had the rear sight removed (and is now lost), so it has absolutely no value as a collector's piece anymore, but that's OK because the only collector who is ever going to get his hands on it is me.

To be honest, I've never shot a deer with it because I had other guns, but this year I am hunting with this exclusively.

 

[Maninblue1861]

1860 military Henry rifle (made by uberti, as I don't have $30,000 - $40,000 for an original). It's in 44-40, closest caliber available to the original .44 henry caliber. Predecessor of the Winchester rifle, though scarce, was used with deadly effect in the civil war

 

[hankster]

Marlin 45-70 I took to Alaska in 85
Marlin 39 22 has some age and no ser # a sweet shooter
Winchester 9422M 22 mag this is another sweet shooter
Winchester 94 44 mag Trapper I added a big loop to this

I like my lever guns

I'd very much like to see pic's of the Marlin 39 . Never seen one without a serial number

That is a beautiful rifle. Do you shoot it? If so, how does she shoot?

 

[ntomsw]

I have to catch up to you guys. Some of these rifles are really nice!

 

[Maninblue1861]

not yet, haven't found any ammo on any local shelves just yet. Eventually got to get the loading dies, and make black powder cartridges for it.

Is that a Remlin? Have you had any issues with it?

 

[Bill Katt]

Rossi model 92 .357 Mag.

 

[SJan]

Is that a Remlin? Have you had any issues with it?

NO not a Remlin!
Made in 2009, in North Haven, JM marked. No problems at all, runs great on 38 and 357. I shoot a moderate load of 158gr LRN.

Rossi model 92 .357 Mag.

How do you like your Rossi?
I want a 44 mag next, and I'm thinking about a Rossi instead of a Marlin

made in 2009? Wow, I thought all the ones made after like 2005 or 06 were made by Remington?

I want one of those in 357 or 44mag real bad.

I love it although I don't really have anything to compare it to. I want to get one in .44 Mag also. Maybe a Ranch Hand just to be a little different...lol.
I think it would compliment the Model 92 nicely.

Nice. I have the same gun made in 1953. Mine is a little more beat up though. Still shoots though. Mine is on the 1st couple pages.

Marlin was purchased by The Freedom group (Remington) but Marlin rifles were still being made well in the North Haven CT factory until mid 2009.
End of 2009 is when production moved to Illinois? First with left over parts from North Haven, that is when quality went downhill, and with all parts being made in house it got worse. From.what I know they stopped making many models for a while.
