Re: new member with a new 94 src made in 1919
That's good to here, I reckon a 30-30 is still as good a long gun as you would need. Reckon if it saw law work in the past years?

Well Friday came and went and still no pictures, I guess I'll be the first.
I've got a bit newer 1927 SRC, one of my favorites!
EDIT: Oops I see you pushed it back to next week for the pictures, please ignore

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you just picked yourself up a classic levergun from the good old days. Those old leverguns have character and history.

You're allowed to use yours on the job? I'm so envious! My agency does not issue or authorize any rifles. We have 870P issued to road guys almost always loaded with slugs. Welcome to Leverguns!

Too many others to list - hope to add more levers soon.
