A lot of diverse looking rifles.

This was my Grandfathers gun. My Grandmother bought it for him in 1951. He killed many of deer with it and so has my Father. I've always hunted with a .270. One of these days I am going to use it on a Whitetail. I want my two sons to be able to say my Dad killed deer with this too.

It's in great shape. It has seen a lot of time at the deer camp. My Grandfather was a DI in the Air Force all his guns were always kept clean.

Here's two of my 5:

a 26" octagonal barrel 94 made in 1897,
and a 20" carbine? built in 1957, with gold engravings throughout, and gold trigger and hammer.

My oldest 94 manufactured in 1896 with a Lyman 1A tang sight.
One of the first ones in .30-30 smokeless powder.

Here's a 38-55

Very nice flatnose...!!

Two shooters.

Sweet pair Nugun55...

Both 30-30.

My favorite deer hunting caliber and platform...

I like it! I have a .38-55 SRC made in 1898. A fun caliber with cast bullets.

Pics man...pics !!

Here's my 1968 Winchester Model 94 (.30-30 WIN) after a complete "Fluff & Buff" including more than a little bit of work on the stock. The sling and rifle case seem to be what I remember from that decade but that may or may not be the case .





I think it looks pretty nice .

If it could only talk...huh !?

Here is my 94 from 1913 used in the french army (aerostations, transports...).
It comes from a purchase of 15000 carbines with two specifications :
side sling swivels and rear sight model 44 in meters.

I have handled 2 rifles that were sworn to have been used in The Battle of Little Big Horn, and two that were believed to have been used in the Battle of White Bird Plains. I am Native American and have been interested in such history all of my life. The rifles I saw were lever action Winchesters, I think all in 38-55 ans ALL were similarly adorned with the tacks and some other art. This Crazy Horse seems exceptionally accurate. Quite careful illustrations were made after these battles of the repeating rifles and they serve to further prove the authenticity. I believe these are some of the most collectable guns ever produced. The originals I can only assume are priceless. My THANKS for sharing these valuable photos. I myself am not a collector. Owning one of these immediately makes one who owns one a Bonafide Collector I feel.

One element of the collector's rifles, the originals sure as heck had no engraving. I remember them looking and feeling very old and worn.

Well, here is my original... tacks and all lol.
It's my very first rifle, my baby. I took it on it's first walk into the woods, fired it's first bullet, and took care of it when it was sick, ha.

The first time I broke it was doing John Wayne tricks alone in the folks basement. I almost passed out. But I fixed it up, neatly mind you, matching checkering and all. 2nd time slipped on an icy rock. Third time I think a family member was messing with it, found it in the case in two pieces. After that time I was tempted to replace the stock, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it... so many years and too many memories.

After everything so far it still shoots straight as ever, surprisingly. I'd say close to 1000 rounds by now.

It's a '76 200th year US birthday carbine, with character

...

Nice

A load of tangible history with these pieces.

Ya, definitely. Still something magnetic and magical about this perfect marriage, to this day... at least for me

K, I can't help but a couple more pics ha
