One of the all-time American classics, the lever gun and revolver in the same caliber. Here are my Marlin 1894 Cowboy with its 24" octagon barrel and a 5 1/2" Peacemaker, both in .45 Colt.
The lever action .22 has got to be about the most fun we can have with a rifle. Early '60's Marlin 39A "Mountie" takedown posing with the 1894.
