I'll be the dissenter here... Sorry, but a suppressed lever gun just seems and looks so wrong to me...
Agreed, similar to putting one on a custom Hawkin or Penn. Flinter.

Better check again! The inner receiver is ZAMAK (a zinc based alloy lovingly referred to as pot metal) and I believe the outer cover is spray painted aluminum.One small correction: The henry H001 and H001Y receivers are made of steel but have an alloy (branded Zamak, I think) cover. In addition, for extra $ there are some brass-plated covers and barrel bands out there somewhere.

Are we lumping pot metal and aluminum together??? I'm talking about zinc and you're talking about aluminum. Big difference between the two. All those guns are NOT leverguns. They are not an American icon. Some folks don't care, many do and I am one of them. Henry owners don't even seem to like folks simply pointing out what their guns are made of.True, and its also the same material that Smith & Wesson uses to make their 22A semi auto pistol. Wonder just where we can pigeon hole the 22A. Maybe someone needs to research the material that 10/22's, Marlin 60's and many other rifle and pistols are made of.

That might be a problem there.
All .22 RF lever-actions use a tube magazine.
All traditional levers. Be it the Winchester models of 1860, 1866, 1873, 1876, 1886, 1892, 1894, 1895, the modern Marlins which are based on the 1891, 1897, 1894 and 1893, the Colt Burgess, etc., etc.. You mean you don't think there's anything historic about the Marlin 39 which is the modern version of the original 1891 and 1897??? You don't think the Winchester 71 is part of that history because it fires a more modern cartridge??? Please.A lever action .22 rimfire an American icon?
Personally, I don't care for guns which are made as cheaply as possible out of the cheapest materials possible. Judging by the pictures I've seen of your "collection", I see that you do not have such prejudices.
more power and pot metal to you.

So I take it that there are no .22LR lever guns out there that you can feed/ top it off from the side? I hope that makes sense, the feature I am talking about.
I've always wanted a lever gun (maybe one in .22 and one in .357), but I like the idea of just being able to top off the tube by adding one more in the side loader. It sounds like that feature is not available on .22 versions? :-(
By the way, IMHO a .357 lever carbine is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Marlin 1894c here.I've always wanted a lever gun (maybe one in .22 and one in .357),
