New member here, but have knocked around quietly for a while.

I parted with my first rifle, a Kmart special Marlin-Glenfield a while back and have since added a Navy arms 1873 replica. It does not see much action however. I am seriously considering a Rossi 92 - 45 colt, as my next addition.

I'll find a Brazilian gun to trade you. I've had better luck with 44-40 than 45 colt.

thanks,

Not a lever, but in the spirit of the old stuff, here is my poor mans sharps

HR Buffalo Classic, reamed to 45-90 and an 1858 reproduction. I shoot the fake black out of the 45-90.

Welcome to the camp. Pull up a stump and spin a yarn or two. Oh, by the way, the disease is only just beginning. You WILL buy more, it's an addiction, without a twelve step program.

You sure picked a nice levergun to start with...!

AND the Rossi .45 Colt is a real nice one to get too.

I like the simplicity of design/repair of the Marlins, but the Rossi's are alot easier to find these days. You'll likely wind up with one of each before the dust settles...

Howdy,
If you hang here much there will be more leverguns in your future for sure.

I sure like that rifle. Looks just like mine and in the same caliber.
