[pd5190]

I would be more than glad to join your august group. I am the proud owner of a Henry 357
Henry 22
Henry 410
Adler 12 gauge.

pd5190, welcome aboard!





Although this was never our intention, it is nice to see so many concur that the lever gun remains not only evocative, but effective.

This makes our number twenty! like-minded souls.

Great read Apples!! Very well written.

Yah MLC

My entries in the MLC registry are as follows:

Win 94 in .30-30

Browning copy of Win 1895 in .30-06

Browning BLR in .243

Marlin 1894C in .45 Colt

Marlin 1895 Guide Gun in .45-70

And since Cali is a joint property state I must include the wife's Uberti 1873 in .357 mag

There are also three Henry's of the rimfire variety to round out the assortment.

Wants: Savage 99 and a Browning BL .22 and a Browning BR 92 in either .357 (yeah right find one of those) or .44 mag.

Gratuitous lever pics:





The wife has my back with the Guide Gun while I'm fixing fence on the back side of our ranch where the lions, tigers and bears, oh my, are.



Not really, she was just holding it while I adjusted my saddle from a steep climb. But the above makes a better story.

BTW, it is Bergmen, not Bergman.

We are different.

This is the greatest thing I've seen, Period. How does one get added to this list of badasserey? I would love to be a part of your next event and meet some of you! I already venture to the high desert to do my shooting as it is. I my self own many firearms but the lever gun is and always will be my favorite. Proud owner of a JM barreld 336 and see a .357 1894 in my near future.

That would be the exact one! Pistol grip stock, 20" barrel.

Welcome, rhino!

That's a fine example. Just fine!

Unless you tell us otherwise, we'll assume it is chambered in .30-30. If it's a .35 Remington, I will be green with envy.

Yes it's a 30-30.

I was going to let it slide but since bergmen brought it up, please change mine to nickelplate (for any future PMs and such).
I feel better now...

Question-For those of us who live a good distance away from the MLC Mojave range, is there a town with a motel(s) nearby where we can arrive say the day before then have a meet up the morning of the shoot and caravan in to the sacred grounds?

[BOBGBA]

D'OH! Bob, forgive me. In my morning rush to complete the first post while gathering other names I had assumed I'd had you listed. Your glory has been restored! sir. My honor, on the other hand...remains intact

FIFY - No harm no foul.

Here's a fine example of a lever that's available in in Simi Valley and it's in .35 Rem! https://www.gunbroker.com/item/866742144

Honestly, I'm not a shill for these guys, they just seem to have gotten some nice levers in and I want the MLC to get a crack at them! Somebody, hide my wallet! Please!

Here's the levers that they have (12 levers, 8 different calibers): https://www.gunbroker.com/Lever-Acti...27&PageSize=24

Wow Bob that’s quite a selection! Now find that takedown Mod 95 only in .30-40. I’ve a buddy that has been looking but my Google fu seems to pale in comparison to your mastery!

Ah yes oh master of the google fu. My fault. I didn't mention all the details. He is looking for one of the modern Miroku (Winchester or Browning) takedowns in .30-40. My bad for not providing all the specifics!
