Lever Guns

[2152hq]

Nice bunch of rifles! Who doesn't like Lever Actions..

I'm in the process of putting together a Marlin 1893 SRC from assorted parts I've gathered up over the years.
I think I have most everything for it,,maybe short a few screws and pins (just like me).
The 30-30 bbl looks the best, at least on the inside. The gray spray paint on the outside not so good hiding some rust and pits.

A no-frills Mossberg 464. Good 30-30 Win 94 clone, with "improvements".

How bout a Savage 99 .300 at work in the woods

I do love lever action rifles. I'm going to owe y'all some photos!

I had a number of Winchester M94s that I "collected" when I heard they were not making them any longer but at some point in time a couple of years ago I decided I'm not collecting them so I sold off 4 or 5. I paid a poker debt with one, an Angle Eject in .44 Magnum.

But I still have my first, a pre-USRAC M 94 in .30-30 that I added a Williams peep sight to and it shoots GREAT.

I also retained my Model 94 Big Bore in .375 Winchester.

What I don't have pictures of are my Navy Arms/Rossi M92 in .45 Colt (octagon barrel, really pretty), my Marlin .45-70 Guide Gun (stainless steel, very cool rifle), and my very old M94 Winchester in .25-35 (someone's re-barrel job from decades ago, as flat shooting as anything I've ever seen). Someday I will get photos!

I've been looking for a lever gun in .357 to carry in the Bronco when I'm out knocking around in the boonies. I was planning to pick up a Rossi M92, but stumbled across a nice Marlin 1894C yesterday, so I grabbed it.

Made in 1979, so pre-safety, and pre- "Remlin", as they seem to be called over on the Marlin forums. My last Marlin was an 1895 in .38-55 made in the early 1900's, but that was almost 30 years ago. Haven't even had time to clean it yet, but already looking for a receiver sight.

I would have preferred a 16" gun, but this should do nicely.

That Marlin good choice. I don't buy Marlins from cross bolt safety models to present. Nothing wrong with JM Marlins with safety as far as shooting. Don't buy Remlins or take them on trade. I don't by clones and replicas either. Back here in Ohio where 357 is legal deer cartridge a pre safety JM Marlin in shape of yours would start- $1k

 

[Borderboss]

Here's my Marlin 1894 Cowboy II in .357. It's a great gun to shoot, and very accurate. I too had to put a red dot on it due to aging eyes.

 

[Puller]

We converted this 45LC Marlin to a take down a couple of years back

That looks like some of Lee Hadaway's handiwork.

 

[chief38]

Love them both! For the most part Winny's are finished a little better but I have always preferred Marlin's action. So my solution is to own both!

 

[kraynky]

These are a few I had out at the range, and I just couldn't help taking a picture. Love my lever guns. I no longer have the Marlin 35 Rem Marauder on the far right.

 

[biku324]

Marlin 336 Zane Grey (rechambered to 405 JES) octagon barrel and pristine Marlin 1894 in 44 mag from '81 for me.

 

[colt_saa]

That looks like some of Lee Hadaway's handiwork.

Actually it is my handiwork

However the originator of the conversion holds classes on how to do the conversions.

That is how mine came to be

 

[Charlie Foxtrott]

Here are a few more of mine.

A Winchester model 94 short rifle (centennial model), A Winchester model 92 (Miroku) short rifle in .45 Colt, A Browning model 53 (Miroku) in 32-20, A Winchester model 1895 (Miroku) in 30 -06, A Marlin 1895 STP guide gun in 45-70, a Browning BLR model 81 in .308, And a Winchester model 1894 rifle in .32 Winchester special.

The Winchester 1895 in 30-06 is likely my favorite with the model 92 in .45 Colt a close up second.

I have 1894 .357 / 1894 .44 / 1894 .44 stainless (photo) Love the old marlins..

Wow! Love that Marauder there Kranky. One in .35 is definitely on my want list.

You scored a nice one there. The pre-safety 1894c rifles aren't easy to find and tend to be pricey.

 

[BearBio]

Had more than I remember. Currently a Henry 22 and an original take down short rifle 1892 in 38-40.

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

I have always had a weakness for lever actions (too many Western movies?) but have managed so far to hold it to these three (357 Henry Golden Boy, 22LR Henry Frontiersman, Marlin 39A Golden),Nice collections above,
