My old newspaper customer from 53 years ago…came to my shop with the gun,asking me if I wanted to buy it. He said none of his 7 kids wanted it..Cuz it didn’t have a safety. He was 88 years old…It looks like the gun lived in a safe most of its life…wicked piece !

Dad's got an 1894 saddle ring in 30-30. Really good shape still.
I ran the serial number from what I could tell date of manufacturer is 1909

I am not a lever gun guy and prefer bolts but an 86 in 45-70 would be fun.


I have nothing clever to put here.

My favorite is a fairly beat up Marlin 336 in 35 Rem. I loan it out to guys fairly often to Deer and Hog hunt with. Its killed more game than most people would believe. I like it because inside of 200 yards with my hand loads there is no animal on this continent that it could not handle. Would like to find another that wasn't completely overpriced.

My favorite as well. Mine was my dad's, his first deer rifle bought in 1953. There's a lot of history with that rifle. He killed his first buck with it, I killed my first buck with it, my daughter killed her first buck with it and my granddaughter is hoping to kill her first buck with it.

.35 ammo is getting real hard to find and folks want insane prices when it is available.


Eh...wot?

Don't think I've met a lever gun I didn't like.

What are we calling old? I have an orig JM Marlin stamped (before Remington had all the issues) 1895 "cowboy" octogen shaped longer barreled 45-70.
(1895 is the model not the year made)

They made it legal for deer hunting in Ohio so I got one... right after I had bought a really nice slug barreled shotgun the year before... that's my luck.
