Man....I really like the leather you have on yours. Where did you find that, or did you have to special order it? :tup:
Thanks man. Buffalo Brand Leather out of Utah. Special order. Check them out. Nice stuff.

Looks like I have catching up to do. Eventually like to get a 44 mag. Interesting research on marlin when I was looking for this 1895. I didn’t realize Marlin was bought up by Remington then suffered a bunch of quality issues. Sounds like they have the production system working now and putting out some better product.
They have a whole new facility and new machinery for their marlin line. Still a few reports of issues but for the most part they seem to be turning out quality products now. My .357 and .444 are from their new facility and are fine guns, no complaints. But there were some really bad years there.

Savage made the best back then. 250-3000 that I restored from my girlfriends family on the Rez. Completely restored every piece and did some fancying up. Last part is finding someone that’d color case that lever. My 336 is on my bench being brought back after my brother sold it off like 10+ years ago and it found its way home.
Awesome!

I know some will think this is an awful idea but I really want to get a Marlin 336 and put a Midwest M-lok rail on it. Kind of an old meets new blend.
Probably made it a lot lighter.👍

It see a lot of value in attaching a light to a lever gun. Great camp gun set up.

1895 GS for you Marlin 45-70 fans. It has a WWG big loop lever and trigger and the sights are the XS ghost ring and post.

My go-to, an 1895SRC in .30-06, this was my saddle gun for bears while working in Montana this fall.

Same rifle as above, sometimes dumb horses happen to good rifles. This was epoxied back together and was back in service in a few days.

Again with the 1895's because they are my favorite.

Of course there are others I no longer have pictures of and dont get put much. My Savage 99 needs to be hunted with agin. My Marlin .45-70 sits at home with nothing to do. Etc.

Yeah its a boyds pepper laminate. Back when the hancock land by my house was open to motorized vehicles i was running the logging roads on my quad looking for lion tracks in the snow. Forgot to put the rubber straps on, hit a bump and the rifle went flying off the front of my quad and i ran over it and busted the stock. :bash:

I may regret starting this thread. I’m itching to go spend some more money on lever guns.
Just found out henry is making .45-70, .357, 44 mag, .45lc, .410 with synthetic stocks, threaded barrel, and underside picatinny rail. And i kinda want the .44. It has a 20 twist, way faster than marlins .44s, so it should shoot the heavy hard cast rounds a lot better. Do i really need it or have a use for it? No. But i still kinda want one.

Bango have you had problems with 1:38 twist marlins and 300 grain bullets stability? Just curious as I may soon pick up an 1894 cowboy in 44 mag. Will probably stick with the 240’s but might want the option to throw the 300’s someday.

Now don’t let the anti-gunners get a look at those scary black lever guns. Pretty soon they’ll be wanting to ban “tactical” large loops and “battle style” peep sites.

Once you get used to carrying one, it makes your average bolt action feel like a club. A 99 feels like an extension of your arm.

Have you noticed the grip sized change with the Remlins? They hung a fat pistol grip on the newer guns that gives a clumsy look and feel to the butt stock.
Some nice looking levers here...
