Playing cowpoke seems like a great way to kill time!! That and being able to show off my SxS in a venue other than the sporting clay's place would you know... be fun too lol .

What's your handle?

I'm "Indian Territory Tom", its pretty tough coming up with a alias with the name Anthony or Tony, unless you're either of Italian or Spanish descent lol. being neither, i used my middle name. I patterned it after the original Wild Bunch's Arkansas Tom and Tulsa Jack Blake.

Lynn, hang onto that puppy. I believe those will become collectible in a few years, which is why I've been buying as many as I can. (I have 4, three 30-30 and a 45 colt, two of them are the regular rifle, the other two are the Trapper model. the 45 is a Trapper and has Lyman peep sights) The pre 64's are currently what's being collected, while the post not so much, but, Winchester 94's are no longer made in the USA. So, I have the feeling that the post 64's will soon be sought after.

My babies, sans the Marlin. Top to bottom, '82 Winchester 94 Trapper 45 Colt, '82 94 Trapper 30-30, '67 94 30-30- re-blued, case hardened receiver, full buckhorn rear sight, '71 94 30-30 w/Tasco scope, Henry Big Boy 45 Colt

What I like about your guns is that they look like you use them. They were meant to be used, like a good razor. I've usually always got a lever gun in my safe, slowing down on the trading here recently as I've about got what I want...till tomorrow!

Not only does it look like they are used which I am a fan of too - you'll note that not one of the stocks has a pistol grip... thinking he likes a fast acting rifle lol.

Thank you! I do plan on them getting much more use. Of the lot, the 30-30 Trapper appears to be unfired, and the Henry is unfired, so far. The other 3 have been used. I also love the stock on those. They appear ready to carry in a scabbard on Marshall Dillon's saddle. The two 45's will be used in action shooting, with the Henry seeing only a shade less use, because of its heft.

UNFIRED!! That's blasphemy!

That's soon to be remedied. Where I live there's getting to be too many highways, houses, etc to safely shoot anything bigger than a pistol. A family friend that has several acres told me to bring them up and we'll put some rounds down range.

Ii have a marlin .357 but the load are to low to use in Colorado. I haven't used it since Oregon.
