New guy from Central WA saying Hello

Post by HawkCreek »

Hello from the not so green side of the Evergreen State!

I'm here mainly to learn. I have a few levers but I always use them for range toys rather than working guns, hopefully being here will prompt me to get the use on the levers that they deserve.

My Miroku collection: Winchester 1895SRC .30-06, Winchester 1892 .45 and a Browning 71
Image
Marlin 1895 in .45-70, Savage 99 in .300 Savage (family pass down), Winchester 71 and the previously shown Browning 71
Image

This is the only picture I have of my 336Y, I've cleaned up the internals quite a bit but I have yet to fire it.

That will do nicely as a starter kit. Hint don't ask " should I x gun or y gun?" Here as the answer is usually both. A real bunch of enablers here. Welcome.

Another howdie from WA. I'm on the wet side, have the moss and everything.

Great start on the levergun collection.

I like bullet cuff, does it live there? Is it battery operated to speed the feed?

Best,

You can drop them off here anytime. I know how they can get in the way, wouldn't want you to trip over them and injure yourself.

I love your 1895 !!! :mrgreen:

Welcome to the group. Looks like the only one you could be easily enabled into, is a rimfire.

Best,
That was a prototype I made up. Never got around to shooting the gun with the cuff on it so I dont know if it'd keep ammo or dump shells at your feet when you touched a round off. I'm not smart enough to mechanize it so it was just a simple manually operated idea.

Idaho's got some nice country for sure, haven't been there in years though. Last time was a quick in and out trip to Cabelas.

That's funny because I have literally tripped over the Winchester 1895 one time. But I wasn't injured so I suppose I'll keep 'em for now.

Well I do keep thinking I should get a Marlin 39 so... My step dad had a well worn 99/22 magnum that was his truck gun around the ranch here that I wish I had. It went to a family member who wouldnt sell it to me and instead took it to a pawn shop.
