You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

I like levers. vertical, left to right: Armi San Marco '92 in .44-40. Uberti '73 in .44-40. Miroku/Win. Chiappa .45 Colt
horizontal: Rossi stainless .44 Mag., Rossi .45 Colt.
Presently in storage and unavailable for photos: Win. 94 Big Bore .375, .356, Win. 94 30-30 Carbine & Trapper, Marlin 336 .30-30, .444, .45-70
Favorite: a 3 million series '94 .30-30.
yes I have 2 rifles one a octagon barrel rifle in .44-40 and a round barrel in .32-20
Nothing really interesting to see here. Long barrel 1894s: 32-40 25-35 30-30_ Carbines: 2 pre 94s-32 specials__ 1 pre 94 30-30_a pre 64 32 special. Marlin 36 SC (sporting carbine) 30-30. __Then there are those Savage 99s _ Their count? a few.
Alot of people are mentioning 94's. I didnt know that many people collected them as they are so popular. Probably one of the most owned rifles with the 336, i didnt think it was one of the most collected too!
I thought that too the only ones I was thinking of were the more common 1950-1964 models. then I learned about the early model 94. the variations are endless. I have 10 carbines no two are alike. there are different sights short tang long tang flat band round band different but plates. then if you find one like I have. it looks like a well used standard model carbine but it has the flying bomb and stamped u.s. government property n.w.m.p.
then you get into the rifles.
Two Marlin 39s, two 336s (.30-30 & a .35 Rem which was Dad's last deer rifle), two very early 99s.
Never could warm up to Winchesters, but do have one Browning 92 replica, .32-20.
No pics - sorry.

Hopefully one day il fall onto an 1895 in a larger caliber. The ones around me are all .303 or .30-40. I think I saw one today in 35 winchester, maybe. I might be crazy though...
1897 Mar, 1894 25/20, 1894 32/20, Win 1895 30/06, Win 53 25/20, Win 53 32/20, Sav 99EG 250/3000
Mar Maurader 336 30/30, 1894SR 44mg, 1895 & 39m. Top line pre WW2 , second line newest is 1894SR is 1970.
Can't really consider it a collection, but three Winchester lever actions live here: a Model 1873 chambered for .38 W.C.F.; a Model 1895 chambered for the short-lived .30 Gov't 1903; and a Miroku Model 1895 chambered for .30-06.

I'm not much of a Lever guy. Here is my Marlin 24" 44 mag. I would like to add a bighorn armory in 500 SW. I'm partial to pistol grip stocks

They aren't ~~ yet. Oh there are a few 336 preferred models. And those older models made before the 336. 1893-1936-36 & those 35 Rem cartridge shooters all have a following including those pre-button J-engraved models too. Otherwise the newer marlins are worth 1/2 their retail price or less. Than again the value of anything "is seen in the eyes of the beholder."marlin models didnt think it was one of the most collected too!
The only reason pre-64 Win's and Savage's 99s are indeed collectable. There no longer made. Otherwise the 94 Win is without a doubt one bad-news shoulder bruiser.
I have a few,
M 1895 Marlin 45-70 first year model w/ Ballard rifling
Henry BBS 45 Colt
Marlin 336 rebored to 38-55 by JES
Marlin 375. 375 Win
Marlin M 336 SC. 35 Rem waffle top
Rossi / Interarms early pre safety M92 357 mag.
Savage M 99 H 303 Savage
Savage M 99 E 308 Win.
Win. M 94 25-35 Win.
Marlin M 57 M 22 mag
Marlin M 39 A 22 rf

Sorry few pics, none on this gadget . Jedman
I have the 1895 round barrel. It had the cancer safety on it. So i got the daftey delete, buffed out the huge warning on the barrel and added a sling. I like old guns better, but i would say this marlin is my least favorite. It's a shame I can see the machine marks on the boot and receiver. The finish just isn't there. My wood is nice though.
