I am on the doomed left coast

Century fucked up the Sporter so for the latest run they had PTR do it

If it's not an earthquake that deals the final blow it will be wild fires or volcanoes... and lord knows the insane libtards on the left coast are begging for a rapture

I meaqn even in the People's Republic of California you can own a cool ass lever gun. Not kidding here one day I will own a Sharps I love those things.

lol "Republic"

Like **love** cowboy shooters. To the point I do tactical reload drills at the range.

that's got to be fun

Winchester 1886 for me

Well Ok practically if you are down to three on a carbine you have to ditch the mag and reload. With a lever whenever there is a pause in firing you can load rounds from an ammo pouch regardless. The timing is weird but it is a lot of fun.

One day...

There are all those pistol calibers but I like that phat ass sexy 30-30.

I would love to play with an 1886

Who needs p0rn.....

My grandpa said you only need two guns a 30-30 and a 30-06

He had like 75 so lol

Yeah I need one

Such a handsome gun for the ages

never gets old or boring

Something about lever guns

the old westerns immortalized them

Clint and the Duke... good times

The Russians used them in WW1

i didn't know that

they are a legendary gun. Resilient and reliable and accurate

That old B&W TV show *The Rifleman*

They used a lot of guns

Winchester 1895

well during WWI wasn't Russia more tribal and loosely tied?

obviously I need to brush up on the zsars

Can use Spitzer bullets

Idk but the Zsar bought a bunch

That and Schofield revolvers

interesting

You can have yourself a 1886 replica for 1200

It's odd the progression in technology but the gaps in military application. Like my Allin was considered a revolutioary infantry weapon because it took a breech loaded cartridge. But the Sharps had been out for years. Or doughboys in WWI getting pump-actions sent from home because they were using bolt-action on the front.

They had browning auto 5's too right?

Maybe not

Maybe in WWI not the Civil War.

Arms development is a strange mistress at times
