The Lever Aficionados Thread

[ZQLewis]

My older boy is starting to make noises about wanting a Sav 99 take down that he can use as a pack gun.
To be fair a single shot take down would probably be cheaper and could be found in every gun shop.
Problem will be finding one in a more user friendly caliber than 22 Hi power which he has seen.

An original in 22savage would be quite desirable I would have thought.

I dont have this one anymore having sold it to another new owner. I wish I had the $$ to have kept it but it went to a loving home.......






1895 Winchestor chambered in 303 British, Circa WW1 (ish)

Local gun store in Canada has a few M94 Winchesters coming in in 25-35,and 32 special, 25-35 is limited run for this year,
Nice to see a few of the older rifle rounds, making a come back, quite a few 38-55 on the shelves at present,
I've just found a browning M71 in 348 win, on Canada hunting forum, so much want,
However a takedown 30-30, 44, .45 or 300 savage is my next lever.

By all accounts most of this model (or at least a very large portion of them) were made by Winchestor in 7.62x54R russian (Mosin round) for the russian army.

I used to have one that was home guard stamped barrel was pretty knackered but a cool looking piece. I think Stanley Graham used one on the west coast.

I understand that he had a Model 1895 in .405 WCF with him when he died.

I got a call to say " we have a Marlin in 41 mag you might like ". Much better than I was expecting NIB never fired, so it came home. Never seen one before and the first old NIB purchase for me.





There is no JM proof mark not sure what to make of that. Not proof fired or sliped out the door without it.

remember reading about them years ago in the US mags. Meant to be quite a good thing really. Lighter than a 44 but still a good bullet weight. Better in the pistols as it was meant to be more useful than a full house 44. I'd imagine it would go quite well in a lever.
Not up on it so don't know if the more recent calibres are a rehash/improvement or just make it redundant.
I still like it.
