+1 on that musket. When I was a kid I saw those in G&A and really wanted one. Funny thing, it took the "musket" thing too literally and wondered why they'd make a 30-30 with a smooth bore:p...I was 13 I suppose.

That is way cool.

Nice wood on the Marlin scout project, and very nice Browning model 71. The Henry has some nice wood on it also. So someone explain the Winchester Musket a little more. I can understand the 30-30, but was it really a smooth bore as someone posted? That just does not sound right, or did I miss the joke! OK I'm slow! I get it now.

What's that scope mounted on that 1894C?

[Tophernj]

It's a cheapie Centerpoint non magnifying red dot. My buddy got it at a gun show 3-4 years ago and it sat in his safe 'cuz he can't help himself and bought an Aimpoint instead. So, he handed it off to me. Works like a charm for my uses.

Cocked &Locked, I'd say you have the lever action models covered well. Is that an 8N the 39a is setting on?

DMH

[Cocked & Locked]

Close...it's a 9N. I'm guessing you know the following. 9N's were made from 1939-1941. Mine was made in 1941.

The 2N's were made from 1942-1947 and the 8N's were introduced in 1948.

The Marlin is from the early 1960's...forget the exact date.

[DMH]

My father had a 1950 8n here in Minnesota and finally sold it to my brother last spring and took it home to New Mexico. My dad turned 88 last April, Master Sergent in the U.S. army. Served in the reserves for 32 years. Served through WWII through the Cuban missile crises. Since the treads about lever guns I'll post a photo of one he likes to shot.

Wow. Absolutely amazing selection.

Red Cent, that looks like an 1866 trapper carbine, but it's missing the side loading gate. I know a wooden forend on an 1860 henry is not feasable, and that that is not a 1860 henry's magazine tube, but that does look like a henry reciever. On second look, the magazine tube looks to be from a current henry big boy. You sir, have perplexed me. Is this a custom firearm combining the loading mechanism of the big boy with the reciever of the 1860?:confused:

I think it is one of those Italian-made Henry replicas?

[DMH]

The gun redcent posted may be a .22lr and therefor no loading gate. I think some very early uberties where set up that way. It looks like an 1866 uberti without the loading gate. It may even have a saddle ring on the right side of the receiver.

I hear you on not liking the looks of a scope on leverguns. Couple of solutions....

Put a tang sight on it. Much better accuracy than the standard semi buckhorns.

Or...Keep one levergun "stock" then buy another and mount one of the compact scopes on it. The Weavewr CLASSIC 1-3X20 is a good choice at a reasonable price. Compact scopes look better on a levergun than standard size scopes.

No we're entitled to the opinion that scoping leverguns is not to our liking. IMHO it ruins the balance and feel of guns that have perfect balance and feel.

I ended up removing the one off the stainless in the first post. Eye relief was shot all to hell as was any cheek weld I hoped to achieve with such a short scope. Sitting on my 10/22 just fine, tho :D

I do not see any lawyer buttons on that one!

[robhof]

My pre 64 3030 winchester, originally came with button mag, but had slot in barrel for full mag, so since it's a shooter and not a collector, I put on a longer mag and made it a full carbine. I've since added a period scope, couldn't get on target with the peep. Now I'm getting minute of deer groups.

[eastbank]

here,s the savage 99 in 250-3000 made in 1954 i picked up at my ffl,s this morning. ex bore and in very good condition, not factory D&T and non factory sling studs installed. but as i don,t see many for sale ,so i just got it. eastbank.

[DMH]

Eastbank, you must be in 99 heaven! You must have one for every day of the week. I guess they wont get to worn out that way. That first one you posted on the asphalt is a real beauty. Do you reload for them? Is the 300 savage rounds hard to come by?

DMH

i reload for all of the rifles i own,and no the 300sav. is easy to get and a joy to reload and just about as powerfull as the .308. eastbank.

thought you might like to know, It's actually a "BuzzBee" gun, which is basically the same thing, but I find that the company makes more 'realistic' 'nerf' guns than Nerf, that can actually teach a child how to handle firearms in ways that are closer to the real thing. I have a double-barrel as well that uses the same shells as that levergun I posted, and loads and ejects just like a real side-by-side :)

http://www.chiappafirearms.com/path/hunting

Not historically accurate (in appearance, anyway) but I think it's a very clean look, kind of an "old is new" design :cool:. From what little I've heard, Chiappa does good repro guns, but I haven't been able to hear from any first hand owners here. There are no reviews out there on these guns :(, I guess Chiappa's just too new to the US. Please let me know if you've handled a Chiappa lever before.

Now I just have to decide if I'd rather have 5 rounds of 45-70, or 10 rounds of 44 Mag...or if I should get the T-Model 1887 12ga (just kidding :D)
