Default Couple of old Winchester levers had some fun!

These two are relatively new acquisitions for me. On the left is an M9422 from 1972, on the right is my 94 from 1951 (in 30-30). Shot them side by side today and, I gotta admit, I still have a s*** eating grin 6 hours later.

Can't beat a nice lever gun! Old habits are hard to break.

Lovers are fun... I really enjoy my .357s after I blew the dust off 'em from sitting in the back of the safe.

I have a couple Winchesters. I prefer Marlins due to their ease of cleaning and side ejection. Here’s an old Winchester 94 shooter made in 1907.

I still got a few old Winchesters. The 53 in 25/20 has seen a lot of use since 2008. Cost less to shoot than a 22 with my own cast bullets.

My Hog Brush Thumper, a factory ported JM Marlin Model 1895G in .45-70 Government. She was made back when Clinton was still in office.











I still have ammo priced from back then too.

Very nice gents! Heard even the post 64 Winnys are going for better money these days. Didn't pay more than $100 for mine back in 74.

Old fashioned fun with 19th century assault rifles.

Like many others I regret letting a 30-30 go.

I do have a .44 Winchester '94 Ranger and a Henry .22 Magnum pump that don't get to the range as often as they should.

Over one another website there was a 1894 carbine going for $900 and it sold. Plain old generic 1894 lever action. I have both the 1894's and Marlin 336's in 30-30 but at least 4 winnies in 30-30. Frank

Had a Winchester in .44 Mag back about 35 years ago. Should never have traded it off but that was back when I had very little money. If I wanted a different gun I pretty much had to sell or trade one to get it.
