Being too lazy to get a few from the safe, here's a pic I posted quite a while back on the sleazyboard site.

Top to bottom:

1) Special order 1893 in 32-40. It's a take down with a 28" barrel. VERY accurate, but I don't shoot it now due to the value.

2) Model 1895 large frame in 40-65. This one wasn't the first one made, but it was made first week of model production. It's so nice, I removed the rear firing pin that I not be tempted to shoot it.

3) Model 1892 in 32-20 caliber with vintage tang sight. Another very accurate rifle.

4) Model 410. This is a 410 shotgun Marlin made in 1929 & 1930 to boost stock sales. you bought 4 shares of Marlin preferred stock, you got your choice of one of these or a couple other scarce Marlin items. It takes the 2.5" 410. Made on the 1893 rifle frame. Not common at all.

When I get unlazy, I'll dig out a few more. SW

I can't afford them anymore, either. I bought these in the early 70s. SW

While i think 44/40 is cool i will probably only get one more lever for a while. My wife wants a 357 mag lever. We looked at the puma and it is light enough for her. Plus i have a few pistols to go with it.

NZEF,

Is your spencer an 1860 or 1865? (56-56 or 56-50) Nice collection. I love levers myself, mostly the Savage 1895-99's.

johnny - im not a lever collector per-sea , ive a few i recall from my youth that i have wanted and sought out - mostly 22cals ,
im still looking for just the right mosberg palimino , i had one of the most beautiful original rifles they ever produced , but that was the 60s , today ill be happy to get close ,

i also bought the rossie to shoot "cowboy" , i intend to buy another for side matches at my local SASS meets in 4570 , im currently using my vintage 1888 trapdoor , i DO NOT want to damage it -thus the stand in ,

I love my levers, wish I could afford more but these will do for now.



My wifes 30-30 Winchester, her Dad gave it to her new and it had never been fired until I came alone, a nice little gun



Marlin 1895, 45-70 I got this from a friend who left us way to soon.



Puma 454 Casull, A Christmas gift from my wife, this this is sweet and a real hog buster, with 45LC in it, it's like shooting a 22



Heritage Arms 45LC another Christmas present from my wife, just stuck it in there because it likes hanging out with the levers.
