I have only one lever, it’s a Rossi 1892. I don’t really like it that much because it isn’t smooth and it likes to jam and bite my finger loading. It’s a 45colt. So I was looking at marlin 1894s and the opinions seem to be that they are smoother than 1892s in general, and older ones are better than newer. I found one, a early 80’s model in 44mag locally for reasonable price (750$) but I don’t load 44mag so I’d have about 200$ to tool up for that, and that would get only one mold.
So, should I keep looking for one in 45colt, or consider the 44mag and explore a new caliber, or consider a different rifle completely, or forget about the whole mess and play with the toys I have?
