Thread: Guns Guns and MORE Guns

Shame shame on any of you bringing up gun control.

After this last warning all such posts will be removed.

Signed-the management
have a nice day.

I did not think gun control as much as the right to defend one's self.
It's getting dangerous out here. No matter where you are. JMO.

Now back to scraping your face with a sharp object

I don't know if all here saw my posts in the "Hunting Guns" thread. So I'll post here too.

I've been in the market for a lever action 357 for over 10 years. I had a Marlin 44 Magnum lever about 15 years ago but sold it. It was more kick than I liked, and I don't need a cartridge that strong. 357 is plenty enough for me.
Besides, I can reload 38/357 without even thinking about it, having reloaded that cartridge since the early 90s. And it's a very versitile cartridge without a neck. I don't like reloading necked cartridges. I think I'll finally act on acquiring one today.

I have checked around and the manufacturers I'd prefer (Browning, Marlin) are simply not available. The two that are available are Rossi and Henry. I prefer the Rossi for a few reasons. It's a bit smaller and lighter (Carbine), and has a side load for cartridges. The Henry is very well built, but larger, heavier, and you load it directly in the lower magazine by removing a spring loaded feeder and and then putting the cartridges directly in the magazine tube. That really is not for me. I'm a traditionalist when it comes to lever action "Western" style firearms. I like the classic Winchester style. The Rossi is also less expensive than the Henry. I'm going to be a very casual user of this firearm, so I don't need something built for battle.

I'll be at the store today. We'll see if I "pull the trigger" on this one;

I have a Rossi 20 GA Coach Gun w/real external hammers. Thing is tight and workmanship/finish is excellent.
Bet you will walk out with that.

Have you checked the 'long ranger' line Henry has? Cool, but expensive.

I had a Rossi 16 Ga over/under that I used to skeet shoot and Pheasant hunt with. Excellent gun. I actually wish I still had it. Rossi, as you know is part of Taurus, and I have had EXCELLENT history with my Taurus and Rossi firearms.

And, sir, you are correct. I WALKED OUT WITH A ROSSI! See following post with pic.

Yea things could get pretty ugly!

Got the Rossi Lever Action 357 today. I'm delighted.

I tried the Henry. Wow. It weighed at least twice as much as the Rossi. Well made, but octaganal barrel, all brass breach and magazine load that I do not like, with a very hefty price tag.

A stainless lever rifle was not even on my radar, but the price was right, and I kept remembering my beloved Taurus 9mm stainless. Basically maintenance free, other than a quick clean and lube. I wish I still had that Taurus as well.

So I finally have my Lever 357. I have wanted one for over 10 years. Well over. The gun store was CRAZY busy. 90 minute wait until my number at the gun counter was called. I took advantage of the wait time and stocked up on ammunition. 357, 38 special, 40 S&W, 12 Gauge large bird shot, and even a few boxes of 22 ammunition just becuuse;

Sweet! Nice carbine!
I was considering one of those and then I inherited a model 94 from '71.
Don't know it's story. Looks like it was in a fire or a flood or both or perhaps left outside for a spell. All in the white. has a new stock.
Well-worn with a decent bore. Decided it would fill my lever-action needs.



The Henry Long Ranger has a box magazine Comes in a ridiculous array of calibers the tube setup restricts.
Like I said. Spensive!
