also I beleive the Kessler company made a lever action, box magazine fed, shotgun similar in appearance to the old marlinlevermatic rifles, back in th 1950's. been trying to find one, but no luck. all the other lever action shotguns are things of the remote past, except for the repro of the 1887 win...

the ones you are showing are beauties, are they yours?

was it like this?

otherwise i don't have a clue.

yes, i have one, the 24" rifle in 22 lr with tang sight, and i have a 73 carbine in 22 wmr; had a 66 carbine in 22 lr but sold it to Paco this fall and he says he really likes it.
i will try to post pictures. the 66 rifle is really heavy but holds really steady.

Did anyone ever make a nice "Little Sharps" in .22 Long Rifle?

charles daly claimed they were going to make this little sharps in 22 lr, w22 wmr, 22 hornet and maybe 218 bee as well as others.
guess i'd like to have a rimfire and a 38/55 if i could.

Homefront, I think of you and the loss of your son often. Many times I sit eating or talking with my only child, my 18 year old son, and i recall when he was small and thank God for him, and for every day i have had with him. I cannot imagine your loss, but i do remember you often and i do pray for ...

Quinn, great post and am happy you llanded another job right away.. somehow, i believe you are the kind of guy who will always do that! anywaY, CONGRATULATIONS!

I wish I could find one of those nice little Savage Model 219 break-open single shot .30-30 rifles. They were a lot sleeker than the Handi's - although an old .30-30 H&R Topper's no slouch. I also ran across a Mossberg 472 levergun - which many mistake for a Marlin. here is one with an extra 12...

the 1881 45/70 was the first lever gun i ever personally owned and it was a great shooter. i still have one and it is one of my favorites, very accurate, smooth operating but very heavy. if you ever get a chance to pick one up do so; they used to be quite cheap compared to the winchesters.

i have a burgess 1878 45/70, the first commercially produced 45/70 lever gun; it has the serpentine finger lever and works quite well, though not quite as smooth as the 1881 marlin that followed it. [the top dust cover is a bit flimsy...too thin and almost binds when you work the lever]; i have a wh...

there was a fellow in montana making supposed to be making volcanic rifles and pistols in 22 lr a few years ago. called themselves Meteetse Firearms. I have a sale flyer from them from years back, probably could find it, but i have written them to order one, heard nothing back, and have even called ...

Big bear, don't beleive that stuff that handguns are useless against grizzlies. i know lots of individuals personaly who can tell you different from first hand experience. a rifle is better, but not if you are attacked instantly and are down and cant use the rifle. and a rifle is no good if its lean...

done and will continue. all strength to you and your family. God has blessed you and will continue to do so.

Paste these two together on a ticket after Hillary teaches him his place, and watch the liberals orgasem :P Dave :cry: I believe that is exactly what will happen too. That pair would be the worst nightmare I can imagine, if they got elected. :evil: Even worse than the present nightmare of Bush and ...

one version of the malcolm scope mounts do utilize the front and rear dovetails; for me that would be the way to go.

you need an attorney and a private investigator! if the name he used is false, then he may even still be married to someone else and the marriage might not even be legal; and maybe there are even warrants out against him, in his real name. even using a false name may be a basis to anull the marriage...

wow! beautiful animals, you are a fortunate man! nice country too!

there was also an 1868, the predecessor to the 1876, sold to the swiss military,and others; have seen them in books, but never in the usa.

sorbacoil or silicone?

my 94 was made in 1895 and the bore is just between 379 and 380; shoots 379 lead fine, but shoots the 'barnes original old style' .377 soft jacket very, very well. those bullets expand well on game but also drop big caribou easily.

amazing luck! wonderful.

will try; it is a beautiful gun with what i beleive is special order wood.

i have usedd mine so far only with smokeless loads that are bp equivalent. mine has a mirror bore and is like new mechanically so i bet it would shoot even better with really soft lead bullets and bp or hodgson 777. i am going to try it.

probably pretty well; i have one quite similar but nicer and it shoots quite well. the serpentine lever is easier to use than it looks.

randy redman does this work and can do 25/35's; he relined an 1893 marlin 30/30 for me, and the work is beautiful and esssentially undetectable;

though his website is misbehaving presently; lots of nice ones there and some in other categories too!

daly is starting to import a scaled down sharps in rimfire and some pistol calibers [and in 38/55]; cant find the pictures but that would be a really neat choice for this purpose, perhaps?
