Who doesn't? Hee!
I've been looking for a lever gun for a couple of years but could never settle on chambering or brand... meanwhile it had become more and more obvious that one of the most influential versions was the "94 in 30-30...
I went to M.B. Retting to visit a shotgun I had jailed recently. The good feller behind the counter (Thanks, Rick!) has put up with my routine a few times now and said..."what do you need (another) shotgun for? You have to see this lever carbine we just put onto the floor..."
Winchester 30-30 Model 1894 saddle-ring carbine made in 1924:
Action is tight, bore looked pristine, rifling was sharp, screws on the receiver had not been buggered... blueing on the receiver is mostly gone, but I've learned from the educated fellows over on The High Road that these older receivers didn't hold blue very well.
Either way, it was roundly suggested I leave the gun as is, cosmetically, and I agree. Always wanted a good lever gun! I think I found it!
