    We inherited a few from my late FIL.
    2 W 94s in 38-55, W 94 in .30WCF,  and a Marlin in  44 mag and my original 336 in 30-30.  Shooting Fisheads at one if the SE Shoots rekindled my desire for lever guns.  Hoping to take a deer or hog with the 38-55 after we get moved.

    If I remember correctly, I believe at least one, if not both, of your .38-55s is a take down.  Lots of extra suckage points there!! B)

    You told/showed me more about those rifles than I was able  to find elsewhere.   Didn't know the front sight and grip were extras.  I did learn that the wifes father and two brothers got the money and had their mom order it for their dad.

    I have bolts, single shots and semi-autos. There's not the first lever in the bunch. They just don't scratch any itches that I have.
