I like lever guns and I'm 36. My one and only is a classic, a Marlin 39A that my dad bought new in '69 with discharge money after he finished up his stint in the Reserves (Navy, active duty 62-64, then 5 years with the Reserves). I oogle and ahh over classic lever guns on the web. Will add a few to the collection once I get out of the city and get a piece of land where I can shoot at my leisure and get into reloading.
