Here's mine. Show me yours.

Lever action that is! I know we've had lever threads before, but I'd love to see them again. All makes and calibers appreciated! Here's my one and only (so far). A 1982 Win. 94/22 XTR Magnum. I love lever actions, and I fell in love with the wood on this one!

Hello Misty.

Here is a Puma in 45 Colt I used to own. Interesting carving on the butt stock.

I wasn't happy with it and sold it to buy a Winchester 1892 in 45 Colt.(what else?)

I have pictures around here somewhere and will post them as soon as I find them.

Here they are ,, Winchester License , made in Miroku Japan. 24" barrel, magazine holds 11 rounds.

Regards
Allen

The only one I have. I'm pretty sure it was involved in the cattle/sheep wars in northern Wyoming and Montana at the turn of the last century.

Winchester 30-30.

Rode in a saddle scabbard until bead front sight is near worn off.

Here's one of mine - Win 94AE in .30-.30 with see thru mounts for my cheapy scope...It's a lot of fun to shoot - it's not much, but it's paid for!

I like the idea of lever guns, but for some reason don't have a bunch. I did buy a Marlin 1894 in .44 Magnum a couple of years ago because it was on sale at Big 5, but I haven't even shot it. Something tells me it may be a mismatch of chambering and platform.

I love the big late 19th century Winchesters like the 1895. I need to get one someday. If they're good enough for Teddy Roosevelt (and feralmerril), they're good enough for me.

In modern lever actions, I always liked the idea of a Winchester 88 in .358; given current prices on those, looks like everyone else thinks that's a cool combination too.

Hmm. I was looking for a photo of the Marlin and can't find one. Looks like I never even took a picture of it. I'll fix that tomorrow and edit this post to include it.

Now that is cool. Something about these rifles - old west I guess - that makes them so darn neat.

 

[thndrchiken]

I love those 99's, wish I had bought the one's I came across a few years back, now you can't touch em for less than $7-800.

 

[A10]

Never saw a 99 in .410 before, nice find! My two levers are a 1930's model 94 and an early 2000's Marlin guide gun. Nothing special to look at but I love them both!

 

[gunlovingirl]

I'm not the only lever lover!
Iggy....I really like old, well used guns like that! The stories that it could tell!
Allen-frame...Do you know the story behind that Indian carving? I see the carvers signature, and it almost looks like the year "08"?

 

[CajunBass]

I've only got a couple. They're pretty mundane.

Marlin 336W in 30/30 from Wal-Mart.

Marlin 39A 22LR. I bought it NIB back in '82 I guess.

This one is probably the most interesting. Maybe it's not a real lever action, but.... It's an Ithaca 49, single shot, drop block, lever action. The magazine tube is fake. I wanted one of these when I was a kid, but my mother was scared of rifles. A shotgun was ok, but no rifles.

 

[gunlovingirl]

CajunBass...mundane or not, I still love 'em! I also like the pictures. Nice background. Do you use that 39a for squirrels? The first picture the bird feeder is full. Second picture it's tipped to the side and empty. Third picture it's full again. Given the evidence in those pictures, I'd bet you have a squirrel in the area with a long record of B&E's!

 

[CajunBass]

I don't use the 39A much anymore to tell you the truth. I don't like the tube magazine as much as I do a box magazine Since I can just walk out back and start hunting it's much easier to just keep a magazine loaded and ready to go with a different rifle. Still the Marlin is one of the last guns I'd get rid of. BTW. The sling is older than the rifle.

Yes, we have a lot of squirrels around here. A hard winter hit them a couple of years ago, and they all but vanished. This year they're back in good numbers. I can look out the kitchen window and watch them as I write this. I don't shoot many, but it's a good excuse to go sit on the side of the hill, with a rifle across my lap, and watch the creek where it joins the river there in the background.

The feeder is open to all.

Sure is beautiful. I'd love to set on my back deck and have a view like that!

This is the Marlin unicorn, model1894 32 magnum Cowboy. I got this one for my new grandson. It will take a little while for him to grow into it. After all he is only six months old Oh he has a Ruger Bisley in 32 mag to go with it..

I am a "Marlin Guy."

The first gun I ever bought. A used Marlin 1894 .357 Magnum at a gun show in 1986. I refinished the stock and forearm to a satin oil finish and removed the white spacer. My dad cut the barrel to 16 1/8" and backed up the front sight. I also installed a Williams receiver sight and a dovetail blank.

My custom Marlin 1894 .44 Magnum has a 16" barrel, custom John Wayne lever, saddle ring, refinished satin oil stock, leather butt pad cover, and engraving by Michael Gouse:

My Marlin 336 in .35 Remington is my Scout Carbine. 16" barrel, refinished satin oil stock, leather butt pad cover, and Leupold Scout Scope:

I used it to take a 215 pound red wild boar in Tennessee last year:

Marin 39M .22:

I also have a Marlin Model 36 in .30-30 and a Model 1895 in .45-70, but no photos on hand.

While I love my Marlins, I had a desire to give the Henry Goldenboy a try. I really like the company and the fact that they're proud to be built in the USA. When they came out with their .17 HMR version, that was the excuse I was looking for (I already had my Marlin 39M in .22 and I couldn't justify another .22 lever gun). The Henry's action is super smooth and the gun is amazingly accurate:

The .17 HMR goes through coins like a hot knife goes through butter!

While being a Marlin Guy, I do have one Winchester. A .44-40 Model 1873 half magazine tube version made in 1881:

 

[sipowicz]

Tricked again! Guess I'll put my clothes back on....

 

[BigBill]

I can post new pics but i have a marlin in 444 and in 35rem. I'm hoping to add a marlin m39 and a henry lever in 22cal someday too.

My grandfather had a old winchester 22 pump that i loved.
When the new grandson was born i got into the turn of the 22cal rifles for him. He has right now, a 1890 winchester pump, 1906 remington pump, savage m29b, a wards m29b(savage), a 1890 allen & hopkins 922 falling block 22, a stevens single shot 22, a remington rolling block 22, ect. Every so often i add another one to his collection. He is just turning 1yo next week. I want to get him a 22cal target rifle so he can compete in shooting matches when he is older. Bill
