Marlin 336RC waffle top .30-30 WIN and 39A peanut, both from 1951.

 

[Mobuck]

I have a matched pair of Win 94 Trappers in 357 and 44 mag. Only reason I have them is to pair up with Ruger SA handguns.

 

[JBP]

Have a Marlin 1894 44 Mag/44 Spl, Henry 410, Henry 22 Magnum, Remington Revel 22 LR, GForce .357 Mag, and an old Ithaca .22 LR. Retina specialist told me to lighten recoil so I sold my Marlin 336C 30/30. Been trolling the online sites for one in 45 Colt.

 

[coachk64]

Couple of Winchester 94 in 30-30
Henry 45-70
Henry .22LR
Rossi 92 in 45 Colt
Bernadelli Sharps 1874 in 45-70 (lever operated falling block)
And, uh, oh yeah, Daisy Red Rider.

 

[JBP]

How do you like the Rossi?. I'm looking for a 45 Colt lever but have shied away from Rossi up to now.

 

[Jim Walsh]

Winchester 1892 .38-40, made in 1892 four digit serial number
Winchester 1894 .32 WCF, made in 1901
Marlin Golden 39A Mountie, made in 1967, I’ve had it since I was 11
I also have a Red Ryder BB gun for those days when I need a sundial and a compass…

 

[375hh1973]

BLR in .308.

Camo and SS was a SHOT show exclusive in 2007 or 2008.

Leupold 2½-8x36

Has accounted for a lot of deer

Just picked it up last year and only had the opportunity to shoot it once. I found out the hard way that you need to make sure the OAL of the round is less than the published maximum. I tried some that were right at the max and it caught up under the feed ramp. I had to try again another time with some ammo running about .04 below the max and they cycled fine. The rifle seemed to shoot as well as a Winchester or Henry lever, but the fit and finish is noticeably less precise than those. Couple of spots where there is a bit of a ledge where the wood meets the metal, but that didn't seem to affect the function at all.

I plan on taking it deer hunting as soon as I'm able to spend some time working up the right load for it. It'll be a good companion for either my Blackhawk or SAA in .45 Colt.

I forgot to post my Rossi. I have a .357 saddle ring cabine from the mid-80's. When discussing Rossi there are several hurdles. There is no blanket statement that covers them all because there are about six different eras of Rossi firearms. Some are great and some are to be avoided. Kinda like Marlins. Gotta know what you're looking at. Mine is old enough it was built with no plastic parts and no safety. Very well built which is good as Rossi doesn't support it and no new parts are available. Also has NO SAFETY from the factory.

I found out the hard way that you need to make sure the OAL of the round is less than the published maximum.

Also a generational thing. My older Rossi will chamber 1.6135" .357s and load them from the magazine. That's a LONG .357. It will also cycle short .38s. Something all Rossis won't do. The newest ones are very good too. And they should be. All the tooling was redone during Covid and they're built out of a new factory.

 

[eveled]

Beautiful rifle.

I bought a new Ruger Marlin .357 to replace my Rossi, because of what you mentioned. Mine has the safety, it has been reliable and shoots .38 special fine. The only plastic part I found was the follower which I replaced.

I really have no complaints I just never really bonded with it. Maybe it’s too winchester-ish? I really like my Marlins.

I want to shoot it side by side with the Ruger and then I’ll probably sell the Rossi.

 

[ArizonaTea123]

I have a gold plated Winchester 1894 Commemorative rifle in 30-30, and a Rossi M92 rifle in 45 Colt with a case-hardened receiver and octogon barrel.
They're buried in the safe so no pics. I'm lazy........

 

[ProfessorWes]

Only one for me: Henry Lever Octagon Frontier .22 LR.

I really, really want a Big Boy Steel in either .357 or .44 Mag to go with it.

 

[gnappi]

Only three here. Unfortunately in a weak moment I sold my sainted Marlin Glenfield in 30-30 that I took my first deer with.

Winchester 94AE in .45 Colt (no crossbolt)
Marlin 39A 1940's in .22
Marlin 1895SS 45-70

Thread 'Trapper Carbines'

Mar 12, 2025

Does anyone else like the Trapper configuration? I have several lever actions with a 16" barrel and I like the way they handle.
The one in the picture is a late production Winchester Model 94AE 30-30 with a tang safety and saddle ring. It also has Marbles high visibility sights.
I also have a Winchester Ranger Compact in .357 Magnum. That also has a tang safety.

A Marlin 1894p in .44 Magnum

And 2 Henry .22's. A Big Loop Carbine and a Small Game Carbine. Both In .22 Long Rifle.

I love lever guns! I currently have:

Henry .22LR
Henry .22 WMR
Marlin .357 Mag ( Ruger Manuf.)
Marlin .44 Mag (JM)
Henry .45 Carbine
Marlin 45-70 GBL (Remington Manuf.)
Marlin 30-30 Texan 1963.

 

[DRAM40A1]

Here’s a few of mine. I haven’t taken pictures of all of them. Maybe I should get them together for a family photo!

 

[peachhead]

Trying to think...

94 trapper 3030
Two 94 rifles 3030
Marlin 336 RC 3030 "trapper"
Marlin 336 32 win spl
Browning 53 32-20
Browning 81 BLR 243 win
Marlin 1895 45-70

I recently acquired a Smith 1854 in 44 that I have not shot yet so I don't know if I'm keeping it yet.
When my first grandson was born I ordered a Henry in 22 Magnum. I still have it but I might swap it out with something else, he's three so I have some time to think about it. Plus I have another grandson now so I have to figure it out. Lol

They're all in the safe and I too am lazy today.

 

[Armybrat]

Top 3 photos are all Winchesters and one original Henry, then the jm Marlin.
Am not sure if the Daisy 880 qualifies as a lever for this category.

 

[GasGuzzler]

I have my original 880 from 1984.
