Well folks, I haven't been to the range for more than a month and cabin fever is setting in. I figured I'd put another coat of Conservator's Wax on some of my old Winchesters this afternoon. While doing that, I thought I'd take a quick photo of my entire levergun collection which has grown smaller recently, due to the fact that I've sold a couple to save up some cash for a really nice addition that may come along soon. Other fellows should feel free to post photos of some of their leverguns in this thread as well. It will help us pass the time until the weather warms up a bit.
From top to bottom:
Winchester Model 1886 45-70 with full octagon barrel. Received in the Winchester Warehouse July 1, 1890
Winchester Model 1894 38-55 with full octagon barrel. Received in the Winchester Warehouse June 9 1897
Winchester Model 1873 44-40 with round barrel. Received in the Winchester Warehouse August 1, 1889
Winchester Model 53 32-20 with upgraded wood. Barrel date, 1929
Winchester Model 94 30-30 ('Old Savage'). Barrel date, 1954
Browning Model 1886 Saddle Ring Carbine 45-70
The cartridges are arranged in the same order.
The Browning is the only modern lever gun in the lot, but it is such a fine rifle, I just can't part with it. I dropped a nice 300 pound Whitetail Buck with it about 20 years ago .... one shot, dropped on the spot.

cedars and a magnificent Whitetail buck framed in the semi-buckhorn sights of a 120-year old Winchester.
