Very nice. A friend picked one up from Cabela's out in Nebraska... he thinks he's in love! And he better be, 'cause his wife found the box! :P I think he got the blued version. He hasn't sent any pictures yet. But, I may have to wait for the bruising to heal! :lol: :lol:

R. Engman,

Can see why you are pumped!! I would be too, that is a beautiful carbine.

Don't forget those Winchester 1892's eject out the top, my first one I looked down at it while I worked the action and the empty hit me right in the eye!! You probably know that already though! HA!

I still have one 1892 and it is a KEEPER! You'll love this one for sure, especially since it commemorates a GREAT AMERICAN, John Wayne!

Enjoy!

Geoff

YOU DO NOT WANT THAT PIECE OF stuff AMERICAN LEVERGUN WITH THE SCRATCHES ALL OVER IT. WE SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO SELL SHIQ LIKE THAT OVERSEAS. I FIND IT PERSONALLY OFFENSIVE. TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU AS A NEW MEMBER OF THE LEVERGUNS BOARD I AM GONNA TRADE TO YOU A HECK OF A FINE GLOCK PISTOL FOR THE JOHN WAYNE LEVERGUN. THERE ARE RUMORS JOHN WAYNE WAS A HOMO SAPIEN AND YOU DO NOT WANT TO EMBARRASS YOUR KIDS WHEN THEY ASK WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT.

With pics of course.

Excellent looking carbine. You're a lucky man. Especially since the very small alotment for your area.

Welcome to the forum. It's always nice to have another levergunner join the forum especially from another nation.

That's a bloody nice rifle! But forgive my ignorance- who actually made this. I thought Winchester was out of business (I bought one of the last new 94's available in Oz last year)
I want one of these 92'a- and I want it now! :lol:

I don't know if I'm going to shoot it or not. I've got plenty of other Levers that I use for CAS and Hunting. I have a Henry 44-40 Uberti, 66 Win. 38 Sp. Uberti, 73 Win. 44-40 Uberti, 76 Win. 45-60 Chapperal, and an Orig 86 Win. in 40-65. I might leave this one as a dust catcher, my Heart says yes but my Brain says no.
On the box it says it was made by Miroku in Japan, so that means Browning. It has a beautiful Leather case also.
I was a member on the old Forum, I didn't post much, just read, learned,...and laughed.
Thanks for the Glock trade offer, but I have enough Door Stops.
