Mojave Lever Crew - Roll Call!

[golfish]

I'm really looking forward to shooting the Henry Big Boy .45 Colt. I have a Winchester Model 94 Trails End in .45 Colt that's a pleasure to shoot. I've had it since the late 90s so I assume it is American made. I'm expecting the Henry to be just as much fun to shoot as the Winchester.
These are the only two lever actions I have until the two Henrys in .357 magnum come in

I think the 357 is the perfect lever gun caliber. You can bump them up to a low end 30/30 or make mouse fart loads...its cheap and easy to load.

Your going to love em.

I'm really anxious for the rifle and carbine in .357 magnum to arrive. They should be here soon because I ordered them weeks ago. There's no outdoor range near me so I'll have to go to my local indoor which has a 25 yard maximum. For shooting a lever action standing up that should be fine.

I need to order another Taylors/Uberti Smoke Wagon revolver in .357 magnum. I like to pair up a cowboy revolver with each lever action.

Got to love the Smoke Wagon. Those Taylor's n Company gunsmith do a great job tuning them .... mine has a perfect trigger.

Pennstater has a couple Italian SSAs that are beautiful and shoot great

When you track it, does it show actually being picked up and some scans of it moving across the country?
If not, it's not been picked up and there's no idea how long until the seller actually even hands the package off to the shipper.
Was it coming from or passing through somewhere that's getting bad storms/weather right now?

It had moved across the country and the last stop was Bloomington, which had me very nervous.

This morning it reappeared in walnut with no delivery date and an hour later it was on a truck in city of industry. I got delivery confirmation from the FFL today. Crisis averted, lol!

Mark, my Taylor's indeed has the tuned trigger work and shoots like a dream.
Still fiddling with the Pietta, but, it's getting close. Real close.

The Taylor's in the back?



I've got the same tile in my house. It's just not that clean

Yes, Taylor's in the back. I couldn't ask for a better shooting S/A in .45 Colt.
Clean tiles: It's my wifes hobby. Everything! All the time.

Mark, I'm going to try and get a better pic of those two. Probably tomorrow.

For shooting a lever action standing up that should be fine.

It's easy to ring 12" steel at 100 yards, standing, offhand with a .357 lever carbine. Perhaps not every shot, but 75%... (6 of 8 rounds - 18.5" carbine [might take 9 but I load 8]... and I'm not the greatest rifle shot.

Email or text away my friend. I might get in 18 holes tomorrow, or as many as I can...

I have two of the 5 1/2" Gunfighter models in .45 Colt from Taylor's and they pair up with the Winchester and the brass frame Henry Big Boy.



I knew my next lever action was going to be in .357 magnum so I ordered the 4 3/4" Smoke Wagon.



When I went in to order the Henry .357 rifle I decided to order the carbine as well. Now, I need another Smoke Wagon to pair up with the carbine.

I'm not the greatest shot either but it's still fun. I have not gone to the range since all this nonsense started. If I could put all my shots in a circle the size of a paper plate at 50 yards I'd be happy. If I ever get back to shooting once a week I would expect that to get better eventually.

I bought the New Model Blackhawk in 1986, new, for $207.00, delivered to my house. My buddy had an FFL at the time. Guns are a good investment, kinda

I bought the Smoke Wagon Deluxe 5.5" model a couple years ago. I think the SW was 3x the cost. This one kind of pair up with my Rossi's R92 short rifle, they both are CCH.





I've got a Rossi R92 in SS with a 24" barrel. That one goes well with the Blackhawk.

I to have a few more SAAs to match up with my some of my other pistol caliber lever guns.

Got to get that 45LC SAA. I really like this one..

^ ^ ^ Nice, Mark, GeeBee!

...but it's still fun.

It IS! Isn't it. I frickin' love this stuff. I love this thread, and all you'rn ree-plies. All of it.

I love it so much I'm goin' to go hit the rack and curl up with some GUNSMOKE, Wagon Train, then some L'Amour.

Now that's a fun night right there.

[golfish]

I'm with ya. I love seeing pics of SAAs and lever guns...

The 92 carbine has so much history on the big screen...
