What was your first lever gun and single action revolver ...

[Slick]

First lever is a Winchester (Miroku) 1886 take-down in .45-70 and first single-action revolver (actually) is a NAA .22LR mini-derringer. But my first "real" single-action revolver is a Ruger Superblackhawk Bisley Hunter in .44mag. I still have all of them..

First lever I purchased was a Win. Mod. 94 SRC in 30-30. I paid $120 for it. I was fourteen back in 1971. I sold it about four years later to sporterize an old Enfield. Sure wish I would have kept it. At least it was a post 64.

First single action revolver was a Rugar Super Blackhawk in 44 mag. This one I still have. Bought it back in 1979.

Rossi 92 .357 - my Go To gun.

Ruger Old Army... well, it IS a single Action and I DID have a .45 Colt cylinder for it... But I sold it.

EDIT>>> DUUUHHHHHH!

My FIRST Single Action was my 6" FA Casull....

My SECOND was the ROA.

And I have neither any more.

First lever I bought myself is a Winchester '95 SRC in 30-06 I got when I was in college. Think I paid $350 for it.

First single action was a Ruger Blackhawk / .357 Mag with a 7 1/2" barrel. I was 17, had to give my dad the $ to buy it for me. Later traded it and another '95 for my first Russian '95 Musket. Wasn't fond of that revolver. Was an accurate gun but just didn't fit right.

A Marlin 336C 30-30 (still my favorite)
& only got one SA, a Ruger New Vaquero in 45colt ("case colored" to match my Winchester "Trails End")

[walks with gun]

pre64 Win 94 in 30-30 and a brass frame FIE .36 navy I traded for when I was 12 or 13 carried that pistol everwhere till I must have traded that and something else for a old model 10 smith.

First Lever: Post '64 half-cock Trapper in 30/30 w/Williams receiver sight. Traded it for a Bryco 9mm and cash. It may of had a rusted and painted receiver (from previous owner) but dang it shot and handled nice. The paint disolved on first contact with bore cleaner and I traded it for a Bryco 9mm and cash. Dumbest gun related thing I ever did.
First SA: My Ruger Single-Six .32M with Birdhead.

The first lever action that I bought myself, is my NRA Centennial 1871/1971 model 94 30-30 that looks just like a model 64



And my first 6 shooter is my Ruger Single Six in 1981

Single Action: I.J. Cattleman in 44 mag; bought for CAS in 1993 because it was all I could afford. I disliked it and sold it shortly thereafter, and bought an Uberti 1860 and shot CAS with one cap-and-ball revolver and a borrowed Ruger BH. I was in college and very poor, but I loved the game.

Lever Action: Winchester Trapper 44 mag (pre-safety), also bought for CAS, in 1994. I still have it and will never sell it. I LOVE my Trapper.

First lever single shot - an 1886 Henry Martini in 577-450 BP carbine. I still have it and shoot it
First lever action - an 1899 Winchester 1895 carbine in 30-40 krag. Sold it and regret it.

First Single action - Ruger Blackhawk (~1970's) in .357 - worn out the old blued barrel and I a stuffed a stainless barrel onto the old frame that rusted when the boat sank one year - I still have it as it looks shockingly bad but it still shoots well.
