    To many lever guns?

    I was looking through my lever guns because I remembered that I failed to clean one but couldn't remember which. I did not realize I had this many.

    I'd be glad to help you with that "problem".

    PM me and I'd be glad to take one or all of them off your hands

    I was at 12 plus
    Down to 4
    Probably will get another 45/70 and call it a day on lever actions
    Unless and until ARs are verboten
    Then more lever actions, especially the detachable box magazine Henrys

    I surely am impressed! Quite the gorgeous collection -- I have a couple "wallhangers" and shooters -- including my favorite carry lever -- the 336 Marlin in .30-30 WCF. Years back I had a Savage 99, but that got traded for a 20-gauge scattergun.

    Bikerbeans nailed it, what you said is impossible. I have 17 and I am not even close to having enough.

    when you get to 50 we could talk. the newest is a pre safety rossi 92 in .357. the next newest is a 94 made in 68. after that they are all old Winchesters.

    I'm headed the other way, I'm down to 28 classic CF rifles in deer calibers. and another dozen that were made post WW2. I was down to about 35 but when I try to get out I get drug back in. My high point was 385 counting 22s, CFs, shotguns and handguns. Now down over 10yrs to about 1/3 of that.
