    old lever actions in NZ?

    Gents over here along with the strong exmil rifle usage in past days, there was also quite a few imports of various revolvers and lever actions in the late 1800's and early decades of the 20th century. Its a lesser known fact but Australia had its own wild west, or wild everywhere, which in fact outlasted the US wild west by a couple of decades. In some remote areas you needed arms for protection, not just hunting. Just wondered if anyone knows whether NZ had a similar situation and whether there are a lot of original revolvers, or winchester 1892 lever actions etc and similar stuff in ownership or collections?
