Forum rules
Welcome to the Leverguns.Com General Discussions Forum. This is a high-class place so act respectable. We discuss most anything here other than politics... politely.
Please post political post in the new Politics forum.
As I was going through a list of new subscribers, culling out the obvious spammers and hopefully not dropping any legits through the cracks, I got to wondering, "Where is everyone coming from?" So, we've got us a new poll! Were you one of the original invitees from the founders? Did you hear about us on a different forum? Did you find us via search engine? We've now got 1662 members, I'm just curious where folks found out about us... (there were about 5,000 on the former forum IIRC)
Thanks for participating!

I was google searching for some .45colt hunting loads for my trapper and came across Paco's article on .45colt in leverguns. This was back in 04 and just never left.

I was over at Marlinfirearms.com and found a brethren community here when they got shut down. I was invited over by a member. Now I own as many Winchesters as I do Marlins!
In case I've never said it out loud, Thanks for a great site and all the hard work you do to keep it going.
What a fine bunch of folks you all are!
Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
Built a house for a guy, and part of the final payment was a 94 big bore AE deluxe model. I googled 444 and some articles by Al Anderson popped up, which were being hosted at the old Leverguns at that time. Some of you may remember some of the work done with the 444 and other cartridges by Al.
That rifle now resides with an Okie goes by 2row.
I already had a Marlin 45-70 stainless guide gun so the 444 was redundant, an I don't like all that clanky stuff that dropped out when I cycled that Winny. Sure was a pretty rifle though.

Stumbled on Leverguns back in Nov 2004 Right after I got my first levergun, my 1873 SRC..Since then I've picked up a B92-44 Uberti 73-44 & Sav 99-300 & resisting oh so many others in the mean time!
In 02 I was looking for load info on a 4 digit SN# 375 Winchester BB I had just bought and found this site.
I started as Trails 650 then switched too WCF3030.
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error.

Pay attention to YOUR Bill of Rights, in this day and age it is all we have.
A million years ago I was heavily involved in the Indiana PCR debate and SteveB steered me here.
Then I bought a 92 from NKJ.
And assorted other stuff from other folks.
Now I'm doomed.

I was posting something about leverguns over on Handloads.com when a member of the then new Leverguns forum contacted me and invited me over here. I forget who that was, but I'm glad to have been invited.

Paul,
As you know, I was an "old head" from the Sixgunner.Com forum from 1998 and Jim T invited us to "come on over" when leverguns opened up--------------Sixgun

Was on another forum asking about a Winchester 94 and Mike D was in the same thread and asked me/suggested that I check out the old forum "Leverguns.Sixshooter".
I was over on CastBoolits on their levergun asking about a receiver for a project I had in mind; someone suggested I post a query here about it. And, to the regret of some, no one invited me to leave.

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
I got fed up surfing Muzzle Loading web sites, thought I'd check out more modern and up to date firearms like 1866 and 1873 Winchesters!
I found the old Forum and got myself educated !!

two years ago Monday I was layed off from my job of 15 years .I found myself with all kinds of time to reload and play on the internet.In my search for 30-30 loads I found Juniors site .After I read all the articles there I was looking at the links and lo and behold Leverguns.Com.The rest is history(not to mention a blur)
Was looking for answers on a gun problem and found this place. I have had a great time learning from you all and unfortunately for my pocket book begun to get new direction in my firearm buying and collecting.
I googled articles on the .444, and Paco's articles came up. At the time I joined the old forum, I was also a member of Taffin's sixgun,com site before it went away and I'm still a member of the beartoothbullets.com forum. I lurk around on some others, but they just don't meet my needs.
Looking for info on the much maligned/ignored 356 Win. back in 2000 or 2001. Read Paco's articles on his website for the 358 and 356 Win. and got excited that someone else liked the cartridges. Emailed Paco a few newbie questions and he was kind enough to repond with the info I needed. Paco, William(Slim) Iorg, Lobo and a number of others on the old forum got me started on reloading this cartridge. Fine gentlemen all.

I was looking for articles on 35 remington rifles and I found links to Paco's articles. I did not notice or know what a forum was for a while. and finally I clicked on the link. I mainly just read posts. Every person I have dealt with from this forum has been great, friendly and helpful. I have invited friends and family to join us here on this forum, but their interests differ.
I linked to it years ago. The very first original. Seems like it was about 3 forums ago? Or perhaps the original went down twice or so. Seems like I"ve been here forever!
A few years ago Marlin Firearms Company had the old Marlin Talk. Then Marlin did away with that and some guys set up Marlin Owners.
One of the times I believe either when Marlin Owners was down, or just after Marlin Talk had been terminated, poster marlinman93 suggested I check out Levergunners. That is how I got here, his suggestion. Fine sight, by the way!! Thanks to you guys that do the maintenance to keep it running!!
Back in late 2003 I had just purchased a new in box 94AE Ranger Compact in 357 mag ($230.00 hard to believe now) and was looking for loads to work up for this new toy. and stumbled onto leverguns.com This was even before my back injury, and 2 surgeries, and 3 years of rehab, before I found little Lucille in the woods, and my mom & pop were going strong, I thought they'd live forever. Boy have things changed these past several years.
I was trying to find a replacement stock for grandpa's model 71 deluxe and somehow I would up here, THEN I went to Shanghai and got a tattoo and a sore on my lip!

We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle, our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand, of overwhelming power on the other.
Looking for levergun info and found this site back in 04 . I thought I was the only with a closet full of leverguns. Finally had to join when I needed a question answered about the correct rear sight on a 93 Marlin. The first forum that I ever joined.

I was looking for load data for one of my leverguns and, as many others have stated, I stumbled across Paco's writtings and have never left.
I was suprised to find that there are so many other people that are addicted to leverguns like I am.
Thanks to Paco, Jim T and the many others that have posted thier writtings in the articles section. I have read and reread almost every article posted there.
Hardly a day goes by that I do not learn something from one of the members here.
To all of the members, thank you for sharing you knowledge with me.

Really Baby, I swear that it just followed me home.
I believe Mr. Steve Barrett did that for us as well as alot of other tutorials and how to's. He is another fella that is sorely missed here, in addition to those mentioned these past couple of days.

I'm a leftover from the old Sixgunner.com site. Although I've never posted all that much, I enjoy reading other people's stuff. Y'all are pretty good company.

Bought a Rossi .357 92, and was looking for some information on it, and stumbled in. Since then have bought a Henry .22 and a NKJ .357 92 Trapper, don't know what's next but it'll be something with a lever on it. This place is driving me broke!
TRichard put me onto this addictive site some 3 years ago. I had an early affinity for the levers, but I'd never kept or used one for long. That shortsidedness really changed for me and gained momentum with my first new Marlin (1895 45-70) bought in 1978.
I was looking for stuff on the .22 Magnum, found where Paco had eradicated a pack of feral dogs with a .22 Mag., then I found his article on a Rossi he had in .256 Win. That linked to leverguns,then I asked about my 1873 Win. sounds like the foundation to a drug habit. I have never been to Shainghai, but they did want to send me to Singapore?
I was researching before buying my first gun about 4 years ago. I ran across some threads and started asking questions. Got a lot of help, between this forum and Chuckhawks site I decided leverguns were right for me.
"I'll tell you what living is. You get up when you feel like it. You fry yourself some eggs. You see what kind of a day it is."
I was looking for reloading info for the 45-60. I don't contribute very much as most topics, questions are answered by more knowledgable people than I. But I am learning.
Were you one of the original invitees from the founders? Did you hear about us on a different forum? Did you find us via search engine? We've now got 1662 members, I'm just curious where folks found out about us... (there were about 5,000 on the former forum IIRC)
