Quote History Quoted:
A box magazine lever gun would work too, if someone wanted to cut up a Winchester 88 or a Browning BLR. Or a Sako Finnwolf, although I've never actually seen a Finnwolf in person.
Ever since I heard of and finally saw Roosevelt's suppressed 94, I've wanted to replicate it.

Cutting up a Winchester 88 or Sako Finwolf would be sacrilege! I'd fondled a Finwolf and own a beautiful '59 Win 88 and I believe the Win 88 is the most beautiful modern levergun every built, even better looking than the Finwolf.
My '59 Win 88 in .308 with it's beautiful stock. It's a joy to shoot and has a beautiful action and trigger for an 88:
A far more common rifle and more suitable to the idea of a suppressed barrel levergun (like the 96/44 pictured above) would be to take a Savage 99 take-down version and find a second barrel assy to modify with a suppressor barrel. That way you could have a stock 99 and with a simple barrel change, have a suppressed version.
My '49 EG version in 300 Savage. Hard to believe that it came out only 5 years after the Win '94:
However, if you want to duplicate TR's 94, just get any old '94, thread the muzzle, and slap one on.
