Mojave Lever Crew - Roll Call!

[Killer Bee]

while this has been covered above I'll add something that may clear up your confusion a little easier..

the action length is a category or group of cartridges determined by the overall length of the cartridge itself.. this is a fixed definition by caliber.. for example if you want something in .308win it will be a short action, period..

the stroking length of the firearm action be it bolt, lever, pump, etc. is determined by that specific model.. see the examples above of the differences between lever action models that chamber the cartridge with more or less input motion from the shooter..

two similar terms that can mean two different things depending on context..

good luck with your search!

That cleared that up quite a bit. Thank you gentlemen for the information and your time.

So - I just snagged a 94/22M off of GunBroker. It's kind of a Pugsley, but the price was right and I think it'll clean up nicely.

Good score sir...

Unfortunately, I recently got a bunch of different caliber 1873 clone revolvers that are going to be needing rifles to pair with them:
32-20
38-40
44-40
45colt

Now to figure out what rifles to pair them with.

One down, 3 to go.

You need to sell me that 44-40, so you can lighten your load.

Not to be pedantic, but this is not necessarily so. For instance, some manufacturer's build rifles with long actions for short action calibers. As an example, I have a Winchester Model 70 XTR that was built in 1977. It is chambered for .308, but built on a 30-06 action. Cost savings - just screw on a different barrel and block the magazine box and presto, a long action 30-06 is now a long action .308.

Holy TOLEDO! Ohio. That's a sweet lil' carbine. Kind of a hotrod.

16" trapper, too, although until now I've never really seen the allure of a Win'94 *long* action chambered for whirlenpopper ca'tridges.

This started out as a penny auction. My max bid was $500 and that got passed up real quick.

Sorry about that, but I really really want it.












Just kidding.

Wholly cow!!! I didn't check all of the sub forums. Going by what I did see this is the longest gun related thread on CG.

Just think about all the leverguns that have been bought while this thread has been active.

After researching the serial number and features, I'm calling it 1992-1993 vintage as it is above the last 1991 serial number and has the link pin screw that came back in 1991 and has the dreaded crossbolt safety that started sometime in 1992.
It's pretty good shape for nearly 30 years old.
Obviously a safe queen.

I never got past 'er looks.

What is it about the Savage 99 that gives it any *allure* at all? Simply because it's a lever rifle? Is it "iconic" as well?

Yes, it cho0ts pointy bullets.



In other news...

Huh. That we would be even on the podium for anything related to the CGN recordbook is remarkable.

Now, back to what we do best: Leeever akshins!
