See pics of everything else, how bout we post some lever-gun pics? I would start it off right but I am not currently an owner, still looking lol. Show 'em if ya got 'em. |

Lever guns are a total 180 degrees different then the type of rifle I'm usually into, not sure what it is about them but I really, really need one, just to have and enjoy. Next gun show I stop at I'll be looking for a nice Marlin 336. Then I'll be sending it to Lew.

Beautiful rifles man! I really need a camera so I can add pics of my Win 94 30-30 and 22 WMR rifles.

Here's my Marlins. Had the barrel cut to 16 inches and put a 2 3/4 power Bear Cub scope with a post reticle. Awesome deer slayer!  My doe two seasons ago. Dropped like she was pole-axed.  Just got this one a year or two ago. Put a Cadet (short l.o.p.) stock on it. Has a 1.5-4.5 power Bushnell.  |

Tom32, That is a great collection you have there.....all classics that's for sure. Here is what I have been able to gather over the years. Starting from the left: 1) 16" Legendary Lawman in .30-30 2) 16" Trapper in .30-30 3) 18" Packer Carbine in .44 Magnum 4) 20" Standard Carbine in .44 Magnum 5) 20" Octagon barrel "Classic" Carbine in .30-30  This is my Winchester Model 88 in .308. It has a Leupold 2.5x7 scope on it:  This is my Marlin Model 1895 in .45-70. I have taken several Texas hogs with it: 
|
Second one from the left. I like that one. |
I wont be home to get it until November. It is the fancy grade version too. I have always wanted one. I cant wait to get some deer with it. |
My pop's favorite rifle is his 99 in 250 savage. He hits golf balls at 200yards with it off the front of the truck and thats good enough for him. |

Deer rifle, Marlin 336 w/scout scope and XS sights.
1894 357 
Also have a 1965 39A "TDS" clone, no pics yet but it's a beauty. All my Marlin's are pre-saftey models and I wish the 336 was a straight grip. I need a pre-saftey 1894 44mag to complete my Marlin Family, just haven't found the right one yet. It's out there somewhere waiting for me! 
|
Yeah, both the Trapper and the .45-70 let you know that you are shooting them. I am actually planning on putting a recoil pad on my Trapper to help that and also to increase the LOP as the stock is a bit short for me. I have not had a chance to hunt anything with the Trapper, but all of the hogs I have been able to get with the Marlin .45-70 have only required on shot to take them down. My furthest shot with it ranged out to 112 yards. |
Nice setup! |
Is that a Marlin Marauder with the 16 1/4" barrel? Or did they make a more current version of the 336 with the 16" barrel? ETA: Which is called the Marlin Model 336LTS. ETAII: Since it doesn't have the crosshammer safety...a Marauder? Kevin "Hmmm..." |
I think you may have confused yourself  1972 Glenfield 30A chopped down to 16.25" |
Oh, I'm famous for that. I don't know much about lever actions, other than I'm in the process of buying one. I saw the bolt and it looked like the Marlins, ergo, it's a Marlin. It looks great! Holds 5 in the tube? Kevin "How do you like the XS mount?" |
Thats the confusing part, Glenfield was Marlins "Housebrand" so it is basically a Marlin . Yeah 5 in the tube, Mount and Aimpoint work very well, Top photo on this page at the top right you can see a puff where Im bangging 200m steel poppers.

We, (The shop I work for) Run a Local LEO event, We (Shop staff) prerun the course of fire a couple of times to shake out any bugs,safety issues, and just to kinda get an idea of what kinda times the folks SHOULD BE turning in. Most LEO's run the course with AR's., After turning in VERY goods times with a M1 Garand last year I ran the 30-30 this year for sh*ts and giggles. |
How brisk is the recoil with the 16" barrel? Are you using that fancy new Hornady Leverevolution ammo? Kevin "  "
|
LOL that's awesome. |
Recoil is fine, I shoot too much to buy factory ammo Handloads for Pugsli consists of 150grn Hornady SP over 34.0 grains of Varget for 2080fps.
|
...
That is a damn slick lever gun you have there. Now I need the specs so that I can start saving up to build a similar one. |
I would love a setup like that in .357 mag
|
Ditto... to go with my .41 Mag revolver. - AG |
That carbine is beautiful. |
You sir have some gorgeous lever actions... color me jealous. |
Thank you.
