On a lever Kick now?

[Guy Miner]

Cool rifle Fotis!

I'm down to just a couple of levers now, but have enjoyed shooting and hunting with them since learning to shoot with a .22 Marlin 39A about 50 years ago.. Dang... Actually that Marlin was a "mountie" with the straight stock and shorter barrel than most 39A versions.

Enjoy the new lever gun, they're a lot of fun.

Regards, Guy

Brian- Man, that is one pretty 30-30! Again, you hold out on me! I haven't seen this rifle either! Scotty

I forget about rifles that's not getting reloaded for or on the range rotation. I'm afraid of putting that new in box Winchester in your hands :lol:

Your fears are definitely warranted Brian! I am pretty sure I would have a hard time putting it down. Although, it would be a tossup between that and your Savage you have NOT shown me yet. Scotty

Sorry but I'm not the one that empties the whole safe on a range trip :lol:

 

[HeathSexton]

Good looking rifles, you never see any .32's around here.

I used to be like that, but then the safe started getting more and more full. Now I'd have to upgrade my F150 to an F350 to take everything!

 

[FOTIS]

She should be her this week. Got some lever evolution powder so we will see what she will do.

When I was about 20 or so, a couple of friends and I took a Plymouth Trail Duster (think Blazer or Bronco) up in the Coast Range to do a little blasting. Seems to me like we had 26 guns along... the gun racks in the side-rear windows were full, gun rugs stacked in the back, along with ammo, holstered handguns hanging off the roll bar. The kid who pumped gas for us gave us a bit of a strange look.

Now that sounds like a good time. Can't never have enough rifles! Scotty

I wasn't thinking that as I was cleaning everything that night!

Labor of love! Scotty

My Father gave me the '86 when I was still in High School. He gave me a .38-55, in a 1894 and then the '86. I carried that rifle on a lot of hunts, over the years. Had the .38-55 stole out the pickup.

The Sharps was new in the box. I found a crate with 2 of them in it. My lovely wife came up with the money, and they went home with me. Then after the movie Quigly, I sold the other one for more then I paid for the crate. The cosmoline had did some damage to both rifles. I had new wood made for mine.
