I have just two levers at the present time; a 1922 Win '94 Saddle-ring carbine in .30WCF for which I have plenty of both 150-gr and 170-gr-bullet cartridges. Second lever is a new Henry carbine in .22 Magnum. Terrific little rifle.
I have my eye on two more levers: a .45-70 and a .357
I have an addiction to straight gripped Marlins. There is a Winchester 94 and 94-22 in there, the rest are Marlins. I've had 3 different 1895's in 45-70 over the years, all with straight stocks. 2 guide guns and one of the 1972 versions with 22" barrel and straight grip. Sold all of them and no photos. No regrets either.
The SS rifle on the left is one of 500 made in 2005 in 35 Rem. The 16" trapper 2nd from the end on the right is one of 2700 made in 1988-89.
Looks like you guys have become afflicted with a case of the disease called "leveritis"... They say it's habit forming and addictive and only curable by owning leverguns in quantity. I think I'm starting to develop symptoms ever since I inherited a Marlin 30-30 levergun and began to really like it. Now I'm getting strong compulsions to get another levergun. I may wind up having to check myself in at the LGS to seek treatment; depending on what's on the rack. Plus; the local gun show is a couple weeks away and that sometimes has proven to be beneficial in fighting this disease.
Thanks for the nice photos. I'm gettin' a pretty good clue as to why Marlin levers are tough to find in that condition!!
Leave a few for the rest of us.
Damien, the cartridge photo looks like murderer's row on Kansas whitetails.
I have 4 leverguns but I could be convinced to take a few more home. I own Marlins in .357 Magnum, 30-30 and 45-70 and the .22LR is a Henry. (sorry, no family picture)
