I guess nobody told them you can't kill nothing with a lever gun.

I just figured it out. To kill game animals you need a lever action rifle, not a carbine. Notice all of the lever actions in these pictures are rifles.

Makes sense to me.

Looks like an equal number of Marlin and Winchester rifles. Nowadays, those goats and sheep can't be killed with a puny .30-30 or .38-55. The new breed has built in resistance to those slow old bullets. They just step aside and let 'em pass. :mrgreen:

Thinking of the of old (70-100 years ago) photos of hunters, not cowboys, I can't recall seeing a 94 carbine. Alaska photos show about an equal number of 94 rifles and 95's, with Savage 99's being well represented, too. Marlins seem about as common as Mausers (hardly ever).
