Lever Rifles

[@jamesfairmind2247]

Great story, well delivered. Speaking as a Brit who has to deal with 2 to 6 months of paperwork every time I just want to change out a gun, I love the "sound" of an American casually talking about just simply battering a gun for something else when ever he wants to "in the morning", it "sounds" like....... Freedom (apologies to "Apocalypse Now"). Its also the reason why I am selling up and coming to live in America.

Does the Rossi have Interarms as the importer? 92’s have been built in Brazil for decades. I have an Armando Rossi that may have been made in 1974. In the rear sight dovetail is what I believe is a date code. That rifle sure looks like a 92. It does not look like a Marlin. I don’t see a lever pivot screw under the main body of the receiver. Also the two vertical locking lugs and no side eject.

[@pilgrimm23]

Yes it is marked Interarms but not Rossi. And it has no markings from Brazil or any model name/number at all.

The 1895 musket models that were given to Russia during WWI have always fascinated me, and are a personal “grail gun” I’d love to obtain one day. Until then, a Henry Golden Boy I picked up a year ago is the only levergun I’ve got but man is it fun

I love the Rough Riders movie. Teddy bought 1895 Winchesters for his officers is what I heard

[@pilgrimm23]

and a few NCOs :)

Nice rifles. I'm a sucker for a lever action too. JT Kentucky.

[@pilgrimm23]

How American of you! :)

[@painmt651]

I know that feeling! I had wanted a 1894 Marlin for 40 years….

[@olskool3967]

i had a 1895 in 30 army/3040, in a takedown made in 1923, after about 20 years i traded it off. i have had many 99 savages in my life. the 300 sav. is my favorite cal. i only have one 99 left. it is a pristine barrel band carbine in 1935, it is 30-30 cal. i have been handloading since 1967, i have had and have old marlins. my favorite right now is my 1893 in 38-55 made 1901

[@pilgrimm23]

I handload too...Which is why I know I put circa 10k thru that Savage. 3031 is your friend :)

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Savage 99 are ok but my lust is for the Winchester 71 and Ive quenched that desire. Unfortunately 348winchester isnt exactly easy to even load for becaue lack of components

[@pilgrimm23]

I SAID there was no rational reason for my lust. :)

Hi Grey Pilgrim. This lever gun video came up in my feed. With me also being an old guy and interested in historical guns I had to watch. I enjoyed your down to earth style. You seem like the perfect person who would be a cowboy action shooter but assuming you aren't since you didn't mention any typical CAS guns. Cheers.

[@pilgrimm23]

thank'ee sir. Yes I did Cowboy action in my youth, alas age related injuries have slowed me some and I am more a collector thena doer these days. Look thru my older vids and you will find ones on all sorts of 19th and some 18th century firearms.

[@kbjerke]

I enjoy "levers" too. But that one (at 3:03) doesn't look like a Marlin design to me. More like a Winchester 92.

[@pilgrimm23]

You are probably right; it is Turkish and they were free wheeling with design

"recently, well a year or two ago" ,:), all of us old coots know about that time thing, "just yesterday" could be 10 years ago! Get yourself a Winchester 71 and then you'll know levergun heaven. Cheers!

[@pilgrimm23]

Each to their own. My Love is a Savage Model 99 (old model) in 300 Sav.

[@bearhart1799]

@@pilgrimm23 I too am fond of savage 99s. my last 99 purchase was a Savage 99R in 300 Savage😁

[@pilgrimm23]

@@bearhart1799 good man, only the R was a re-engineer. I prefer the 1930s vintage 99 with the rotary mag.

[@bearhart1799]

@@pilgrimm23 ????The Savage 99R has the rotary magazine/round counter system. I don't have or like the later clip fed models. My Savage 99R was manufactured in 1948 Good luck finding your dream 99!
