Advice on lever action rifles

[2ManyGuns]

I guess I have a man-crush on Mucas McCain. I have had lever guns in 3 calibers. Suppose I watched too much tv as a kid.

30-30, 44 Mag and 22LR. 44 mag is definitely the one that got shot the least. But I have some 300g HPs for that gun that sure bring a smile to my face.

do you need some Mucinex for that?

I agree they are over priced.

Depends on which model you are looking for... the all steel, side gate, 357/45 Colt/44 Mag types are in the mid $800 range. Try to buy a gen-yu-wine "JM" Marlin at that price range.... and in my opinion, the Henry's are at least as good quality as the Marlins. I'll let you know after I've put a few more years on mine....

I'm resurrecting my old thread. I ended up buying Henry Big Boy Classic in .44 mag /.44 special. I picked it up Wednesday and ordered some ammo the same day.

hard to beat the old winchester model 94 or the marlin lever actions!

I never found any of the old lever guns at a good price and ended up with Henry rifles in several calibers.

i think the decent prices on old lever actions dried up years ago!

McCain wasn't a thought in my purchase of lever guns. The first time I fired one I became addicted to the enjoyment these guns provide.

Cool picture. We have come a long way with muzzle discipline in 140 years.

That right there is some tough hombres.
It would be awesome to watch them go after ANTIFA.

I'd love to know more details on this picture. Where. When. etc.
It appears the fellow seated with the handgun in front has a Remington 1875 or 1890 revolver.

Those fellas sure 'nuff wouldn't need to worry 'bout their info being hacked, ANTIFA or whatever alphabet soup soy boy group would have shit runnin' down their legs and gettin' hung up in them there skinny jeans.

Lever guns.. get 'em and shoot 'em. Fun times.

Those guys couldn't be real cowboys.... none of their hat brims are squared off in the front....

and their boots don't have wide square toes, either...

I tried doing a Bing image search on that photo, unfortunately with no more details found...

Just tryin to be funny..... I don't like the new trend of square toed boots.... I lived through the "Dingo Boot" fad... didn't like them then, either.
I also don't like that nearly all new cowboy hats have squared off fronts....

So, my comment was tongue in cheek, about the "fake" cowboys in that picture.

Seems like I wouldn't have to explain this, but here we are....
