22 lever guns : trying to list the ones i know or have

by cable, Saturday, November 09, 2013, 13:20 (3975 days ago)

if any one can think of others please chime in !!

i suppose the first was the model 1873 winchester in 22 short and the rare 22 long, i have never managed to snag one of these.

after that i have at least an example of the more common ones:

marlin 1891 sideloader 22 lr
marlin 1897 22lr
marlin 39 22lr
marlin 56 22lr
marlin 57 22lr
marlin 57M 22 mag
Mossberg 402 "palomino" 22 lr
remington 76 22lr
ithaca 49R 22 lr [ american made, and poorly at that]
ithaca 72 22 lr [ german] [ was also sold by iver johnson as their wagonmaster ]
ithaca 72 22mag
winchester 250 22lr
winchester 255 22 mag
marlin 1894M 22 mag
Browning Bl22 22 lr
winchester 94 22 lr
winchester 94 22 mag
ruger 96/22
Uberti 1873 SRC 22 mag
Rossi/Taurus 62 22 lr

i dont have a henry, though it is i believe the descendant of the ithaca 72 made in west germany; dont have the ruger 96/22 M;
i dont have any others of the uberti winchester replicas, nor ubertis current 'silver boy'

and the nearly non-existent colt colteer for which someone found this:

this was offered at greg martin auctions in a major sale in 2007, the picture is no longer available on the archive:

I suppose that colt had shown a picture of the prototype and it was in an ad that i saw..

i distinctly remember the semiautos including the short one with the saddle ring, but being more interested in the gun with the lever, which as i recall, looked otherwise identical.

wish i had seen this auction, i might have grabbed it.
