I'd love a model 92 or 94 re chambered in 357 magnum. Saw one on Hickok YouTube channel and looks so fun

I love lever action rifles. Champion indoor range allows .223's and knowing I love levers, they found there is a Browning lever action .223. Got to find one of those.
Interesting - levers are not popular these days. But look at all the old cowboy movies and old photos, levers were the standard!

Had a lever action 22. Sold it. Wish I'd kept it now.

As for 223 and up.... I think the issue is... pointy projectile sitting in a real good position for the next primer. So unless the ammo makers are gonna make a heap of round nose stuff, the cost of ammo, I would think, makes the lever action less appealing. Plus... they aren't cool. Haven't you heard... unless it's stainless steel with a varmint barrel and can take out a ground hog at 300 yards - or - it'll pump lead into the target like a mini gun, it's not gonna sell.

Part of the movie thing to some degree ... Lever action ... Very manly kind of action ..

I'm not 100% certain ... As always ... But I reckon single shot drop blocks and very basic/early levers or rolling blocks... Spencer, sharps ... Etc ..

The winchesters and such were popular later but expensive and not quite as 'everywhere' as Hollywood might suggest ...

Just my perspective

Plus, you can't hold 'em like a gansta...



Conspiracy: get all the wannabe hoodlums to think this is how you hold a pistol to shoot, and there will be...

Less people shot - reduced medical bills 
More ammo spent - increased spending on ammo 

And with a bit of luck someone will not hold the gat right enough and it'll recoil spin into the head and remind them not to be a fool!

Like this?

Yeah , that one always make me laugh!! ..

I like my Winchester 94 in 30.30, it's light, and compact enough to handle well in the brush but it has it's limitations.

I have an AR i built in 300AAC blackout which is comparable to the performance of the 30.30 Winchester. It's compact, is extremely fast handling, and I run a 1-4X optic on it. At 1X I can get a flash sight picture almost as fast as a red dot and when the distances open up I can quickly dial up the magnification to 4X so I can see.

I hunt for meat during dear season, not the challenge of doing it in a traditional manner, definitely not to get a big ole trophy rack either, I'll pass on a big old buck and take a nice fat tender doe or young buck any day , so as much as I like my Winchester it spends a lot of time in the rack. Occasionally I'll get a whiff of nostalgia and go wander around the woods with my 94 but not often.

The Browning BLR has a box magazine rather than a tube.
I now know it operates like a bolt: the bolt actually rotates like a bolt action. The lever is a more convenient method of pulling the bolt back because you don't have to take your hand off of the trigger.

Record holders can do 10 shots in 2.5 seconds with a lever. I doubt any bolt action could get off 10 shots in 2.5 seconds. I think anyone that hasn't tried a lever gun should.

While pump actions are more for shot guns, are the .22 pump's made by Remington, Winchester, Browning and Henry. They are so fun - like old school carnival shooting galleries. And they are very fast to shoot.

another cool thing on .22 levers or pumps is they take shorts, longs and LR's. You can even mix them in the feed tube.

I'm sure California is gong to have a cow over it now that they are banning new sales of ANY semi automatic rifle, requiring lead free ammo, registering of every rifle and even more to take away the 2nd amendment rights - all because of one craze a few years ago that shot kids in a school.

Someone needs to step up and say these things are insane "feel good" laws and we have to understand you "can't stop crazy" no matter what laws you pass. Crazies and criminals don't follow the law.

How many shots did the Brits get off in the mad minute with their 303's

Time for more cats!

Always time for more cats

Figure this is as good a place as any...doesn't really fit in the for sale area since it's not bike stuff. I am trying to get rid of a pile of mags I inherited from my uncle. I came home this weekend from cleaning out his house with a HUGE pile of great stuff, but being in NY I need to sell some 9mm mags out of state. I have (2) 18rd, and (3) 15rd 9mm mags for a Taurus PT92/99. THEY DO NOT FIT A BERETTA unfortunately.

If anyone wants them, or knows someone who could take them, I'd sell for $125.

They're baaaaaack!

When shooting a pistol....

Forget the Weaver stance...

Forget the Isosceles stance

Lol its shootin you one go to he** look lol

Seems Target Sports made mistakes shipping .223's. They had a sale for a case. a case came but with only 200, not 500.
Called them and immediately said they would ship the balance. No questions asked at all.
I guess shipping thought a case had 500, like they usually do, rather than only 200 (10 boxes of 20 packed with LOTS of empty space).
I don't have a .223, but I understand you can throw them at zombie rats.
Anyone have a Browning BLR .223 stainless with 20" barrel lever action?
