The Lever Aficionados Thread

My two lever guns..
Winchester 94. Made in the 60s or earlier. Old man bought it in the 60s I think...or was that his saddle..
Bottom is a 94/22. Think it’s the XTR..not sure. Youngest boy likes it so most probably won’t get sold. Top one potentially for sale..

How do you find the big loops to handle..? Never quite understood the reason why.. . Lovely rifle by the way.

I briefly owned an 1894 trapper with the big loop. Didn’t like it, awkward to cycle as your hand “slops” around in the loop. They’re designed for being used in conjunction with thick gloves, for in the cold or on horseback.

I thought they looked ugly as fuck but having used one I'm sold on it despite the look, to me it's easier to cycle faster.
Yeah as others have said was designed to be used with gloves.

Winchester M94 Trapper, my first rifle, bought new in 1986, only had a scope since last year (Leupold VX Hog).
It will never be sold.

John Wayne was doing it on horseback way before Arnie on a harley, check out the original True Grit movie if you get a chance.

I have an early 70's Mossberg 472 PCA lever.

Will have to get it out to load some pic's.
The best thing about it is that the trigger moves with the lever so no chance of F@#!^*& a finger when cycling it.

Definitely an XTR. Beautiful rifle. Jealous, much. Hope you make the little beggar work for it.

It’s special because it doesn’t have the horrendous cross bolt safety that the last ones had.
