Several new lever guns, Marlin, Browning and Rossi
12/28/2011 10:58:50 PM
I've picked up several leverguns in the last couple of weeks.
Picked up a Rossi Ranch Hand in .357 from the EE. This one is like new, I plan to chuck the bolt safety, add a steel magazine follower, and I may swap the big loop lever for a standard one. This one is the only Rossi I've seen that does not need an action job, it's very nice as is.
Marlin model 30TK. This one is a straight gripped, birch stocked 30-30 made for K-Mart. I'm a sucker for these straight grip Marlins. This one has some honest wear but is not abused. It was so cheap that I couldn't turn it down. Just gonna clean this one up and add a Williams peep sight.
I picked up this one today, Browning B92 in .357. Not many of these around and I probably paid too much for this one, considering the condition of the wood. It needs a refinish on the wood, and may get cut down and made into a trapper.
Not a lever gun, but this coach gun came back from Stoeger in the last 10 days or so. It got new wood and a good clean up while it was there. It's the Silverado model with a satin nickel finish.

Looks good Warhawk. Do you know of any pistol grip stock that could be cut down to fit the Rossi? I'm sure one from a 336 wouldn't fit.

The way the Marlin pistol grip stocks work is that you also need a pistol grip trigger plate. That would not work for the Rossi 92.

I've already talked to Steve Young about the lever, he'll swap this one for a standard lever for $25. That's gonna happen, and I need to do something about the sights.
