new guy...
morning all...
I've been around firearms all my life, and I used to poo-poo my grandfather because of his fondness for his early Marlin 30-30 and a .444 he had...alas I let those slip away and been dwaddling with ARs, USPSA, Glock this, Race gun that...really ugly guns with the grace and wood of a decent lever...
went and found a Glenfield 30 to tinker on, and been lurking here. So I thought I'd say hello
trying to sell one of my XDs and a .22 because I found a '48 Marlin and a Guide Gun I just fell in love with...funny what one is missing when he slows down to look around...

Re: new guy...
Ken,
Welcome to the forum. We all have guns that we've walked away from yet always come back to. Mine is No4Mk1 Enfields and 94 Winchesters. I just can't stay away from them.

Re: new guy...
Well............... Ken please don't tell everybody about the model 30.it's a secret few shooters have learned about. and if I were You I'd run while You have the chance, and hide under a big flat rock. just as soon as You think You have seen it all,some levergunner is going to tempt You with eye candy that will make You stay awake late at night.
. and if You hang around come'on over for a Beer an pull up a chair.

Re: new guy...
Welcome. I have a real diverse collection as well, but leverguns and revolvers are the only ones i can really chit chat about, and i have the most fun shooting them as well.

Re: new guy...
Welcome mate, hey, never be in too much of a hurry to miss whats going on around the corner. Lifes too short to miss anything about fine classic levers and other fine firearms.

Re: new guy...
Welcome from the great white north. Now that you have a base of what levers are about, go and find a Winchester and see what lever should be.

Re: new guy...
Howdy. I live in Red Oak, and several others on the Forum live within 30 to 45 miles of you. Glad to see someone else learn to like leverguns. I still have a few others, but I shoot my leverguns the most nowdays. I am slowly coming around to the accuracy and right bullet rather than lots of shots philosophy.
