I like the look of that rifle! Im a fan of those types of levers. I have a similar one on a stevens single shot .32RF. Before buying it I had a choice of the stevens or a Rem. Rolling Block .32RF. I got the stevens, I just liked the way it looked, probably not the best decision for a collectors point of view!
What other rifles you got?
Well, after seeing hickok45's vid on Winchester development, I started collecting those: models 1873, 1876, 1892, 1894, 1895. Got the new version of the 1866 most recently. Then I started in on Marlins: model 1881 small receiver version, 1891 4th variation, 1893, 1894, and a 336. Then I got a Spencer, an Old Model Evans Repeater, and a New Model Evans Repeater. That's all the lever guns. Looking to add some more... The Henry 1860 will be a reproduction; not ready to spend for the real McCoy.
Nice Marlins! I Have some of everything. I like Winchesters mostly though. I have a few of those. 1873,1886, Pump.22, bolt action .22. Id like an 1895, and a highwall. I have shotguns and stevens single shot, and levers. Whatever I like... I buy.
I dont have alot of pictures or my rifles...
I also don't have pictures but taking pics as I go. There is a low wall in my collection but I won't post it here. Those single shot "are they lever guns" debate can get heated.
I just found a Marlin model 1889 in 38-40 that I'm ordering.
Here are what I have in the memories right now...
First is two Model 92 44 WCF's . The 24" Rifle is from 1896 The SRC is from 1907.
Second is a High # Chapparel model 76 in 40-65. Below a Model 1873 32-20 from 1884.
Third photo is a Second Model 1873 44WCF 24" heavy barrel.
Fourth is another high # Chapparel model 76 in 50-95.

Chaparrals are model 76s yeah? Nice collection there.
Howdy Doc Yes you are correct. Edited the post to reflect that. Thank you.

Love to see some nice gun porn. Especially levers!
Kev, what's the birch bark thing, scabbard?
Well since I already had Chrome opened here is my Savage 99E that’s been converted to 358 Winchester and was completely redone by Tim Malcolm.
Love the case colors and nice photo angle for showing the hand checkering there.
Alot of time goes into making fine rifles that's for sure!
