until you lose one in the pile and it takes you two weeks to find it. you don't have enough.
only got 2 ,must try harder
I'd like to find a Marlin 1888 that won't break the bank, but I think they are rare. This was the second model put out by Marlin (not counting the different types of M1881) and the last to have top ejection. I believe after just one year it was superceded by the 1889 side eject model.
I love the show, but where's the tell?Originally Posted by Kevinakaq

Very nice!
How many here tend to accumulate levers in one caliber? I'm at five in .30 WCF. I have a single example each of .308 WCF, .357 Magnum, and .22 LR. Would like to add a .45-70 and .38-55 also.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
I think my overall favorite is the New Henry Original in 45 LC not a thumper just an absolute blast to shoot over and over and over....nice looking holds offhand extremely well and just has that lever gun nostalgia. The wood beautiful and the action is slick.
Laugh as you may then the Mossberg tactical 30-30 it is what a utility gun should be.
So I have 12 leverguns right now running from 22 mag to 375GNR #2.
All y'all have all the ones I want. I'm jealous!

I am saving this post, so when my wife says how bad I am, I can point to the others here and say, "See, I'm really OK. Look how bad they are."

I didn't know one could have too many.
there for awhile every 94 I picked up was a .32 spl. I have 6 rifles and carbines all .32. so to beat the hard to get problem like the .25-35 .32-40 and .38-55. I am picking up .32 brass while it is cheap.
Started counting, got to 70 lever guns and quit, mostly Savage 99's and Marlins, some Brownings, Winchester's and Henry's, a Rossi .357, of course there are others, AR's, bolt-guns and single shots. Lotsa duplicates, 3 284's, 8 or 10 300's, same for 303's, 5(?) 30-30's, maybe a dozen 308's, a couple .348's, someday I'll thin the herd(when I can't walk my 200 yard range?) but it seems I'm still buying. A Henry 6.5 Creedmoor is on the short list. Then there's the handguns.....
The odd one out for me right now is the 308 MX. Am trying to find it's finer points and having a difficulty. Beautiful rifle, a bit more than my 30-30 and less than the '06. Was an impulse trade/buy for a ppk/s I had and didn't shoot. Anyone shoot the Ranch Dog 165 out of a 308mx?
I just need one more, One MORE please

Too many lever guns! ............Blasphemy!
Talking on another thread made me realize I want a Uberti 73 4440 pretty badly. Maybe I can trade one of my trucks for one.....

There are way TOO MANY lever guns that I can not afford. If I owned all of them, it would not be too many!
Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.
