Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
Thats a question I don't want to get into. Remember now, I've been playing with leverguns since 1966 when I was 12. Its been a lifelong addiction and my dies number well over 60. Moulds are closer to 100.
Its easier if I write the ones I did not play with.
.44 rimfire---I've owned one in the past but was too cheap to shoot my original cartridges
50-110 WCF---too rare & expensive
45-75---50-95---never could find a '76 that was mechanically right at the right price--some day Kirk will
sell/give me his
40-72----the hunt is on with this one
40-70---too rare
38-70---too rare
405---just never interested me
.22 Hi-Power---------blah,blah,blah
38-56---another blah
25-36 Marlin

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
I have had a lot of nice levers in 357, 44, 32 Special, 38-40, and 30-30. Over time I settled on 30-30 and 22. I still have a 38-40 but it is a project gun that is not shootable right now.

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
I wouldn't think a game warden would like seeing the ".444 Marlin" stamping on a gun, even if it was short brass, so I assume you had a gun re-chambered? What kind of gun? Maybe a topic for a separate thread, but would be cool to see. Our deer are always under 125 yards, so stock .44 Mag 240 SP Winchesters drop 'em quick from our Marlin 1894's, but it's still fun to try other stuff or find something better for longer range that's still 'regulation'...bgmkithaca wrote:These two are wildcats that I designed to meet Indiana deer hunting regulations. both are base on the .444 Marlin case, one is 1.61" case length & the other is 1.8" case length in anticipation of the regulations being changed for the longer case.
If you can invision a Rem. BR case they look like it, just longer and a larger projectile. This is how I kill the winter to fight cabin fever. Playing in the shop keeps my other half from killing me. LOL

.22RF
.357 magnum
.44 magnum
30/30
I want a 45/70 levergun, and the soon to come Henry sounds like a nice gun for the money, and no tang or receiver mounted safety, just a good old fashioned halfcock like it's supposed to be.

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
These two rifles are reworked Marlin 336's, rebarreled and stamped accordingly. If the barrel is stamped for a longer caliber the game warden tells me it is legal to shoot something shorter in it- they will measure the cartridge you are using to see if it is legal.I did'nt go that route though.Mine are complete rebarrel jobs.Also a .444 would not work with a .375 bullet so you have to rebarrel.AJMD429 wrote:I wouldn't think a game warden would like seeing the ".444 Marlin" stamping on a gun, even if it was short brass, so I assume you had a gun re-chambered?

Sounds like a cool project. Did you have someone in Indiana do the gunsmithing? I haven't found a gunsmith yet that I trust, since the last one botched attaching a flash suppressor on an AR-15, and putting a scope base on a break-open 12 gauge, both of which should be a piece of cake for a decent gunsmith.

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
Yes, the work was done in Indiana. I did the work myself. As for gunsmiths around here there some parts changers but only one real one that I know of and he is so busy the wait is long.

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
You guys make me look like a picker. All I've got in leverguns is a Henry 22lr and my two Rossi 357mag. My wish list is long but likely will never be met as I just don't have the resources for them. I guess my retirement travel budget eats up all my available cash.

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
Steve, good things come to those who wait. Most of my group came from unexpected places. I'm a hunter and the ones I have hunt with me, I've owned leverguns since I was a boy. They came and went during child rearing years. Hell, some of the calibers listed by other posters here, I don't even recognise? Hang in there brother.COSteve wrote:You guys make me look like a picker. All I've got in leverguns is a Henry 22lr and my two Rossi 357mag.

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
Let's see a .22lr,25-20,25-35,30-30,41 magnum,45 colt and a 45-70.Still would like a 38-55,32-20 and another marlin 1895 as I was real dumb and sold the one I had.
Re: What levergun calibers do you have?ll
Sort of a combination of guns I wanted to hold onto and the actual calibers. I only needed one pistol/CAS caliber and have a ton of brass for 44 from several years in CAS, so the 38 wcf, 44 wcf, and 45s went away. The 45-70, 38-55 and 30 wcf are levergun staples and I will always own at least one of each. The 348 is the best all-around classic hunting round (see username). So that leaves the more obscure ones: the 33, 40-70 and 50 ex are the original calibers of my most prized Winchester - a three barrel '86. Life is so much simpler when the ammo and die needs are cut in half.Bob Winchester wrote:Hey 71Fan,71fan wrote:I have wittled it down a lot in the past few years. Not enough time to enjoy them all.

Re: What levergun calibers do you have?
I only have a Marlin 30AS in .30-30 & a Rossi 92 in .357. Next will be a Henry, the H001T in .22lr.
I'd love a Marlin 1894 in .41, to "go with" my Bisley Blackhawk, tho a 336 in .35Rem would be equally cool & easier to get my hands on.
