There’s two in my safe. Both were gifts to the boys for their first Christmas. Both Henry .22’s, a Golden Boy for the oldest and a Silver Boy for the youngest.

I need to build a couple rifles for my boys. Don't know what though.

Lever action 22s are a lot of fun.

What is the make and model of the gun in the first picture - I need one of those!

That is a Marlin 39A from the 60s. It is a great shooting rifle. It is not as smooth as the Winchester 9422, but nothing that @p_ham couldn’t make better.

The advice I got from a good friend was to not get them “youth” rifles for this instance. They’ll have the rifles for many many years after neeeding a downsized gun.

So I also need to find a youth .22 to get the ball rolling.

I've got a Savage Rascal that has been an excellent 1st .22 much improved over the Cricket.

Clean it! Those are usually super smooth.

Exactly. If a Marlin isn't smoother than any Winchester, there is a problem somewhere.

Alright so i saw this pic on reddit r/leverguns and I started down the rabbit hole. I decided my next rifle is going to be a level action brush gun probably for smaller deer and javelina. I'd like to keep ammo cheaper, so I'm leaning toward .357/.38. I'd rather not go full scope, I like the low profile of a reflex or just irons. The Henry All weather seemed like a good option but those are flying off the shelves lately. This might be a next year gun, but I'm having fun in the planning stages here

How about a Marlin 1894 (either new or old) in .38-40 or .44-40? Way cooler than the Henry, imho.

Early in my hunting career, I occasionally carried my dad’s Winchester 1892 in 44-40. I never did shoot anything with it. It was an older rifle but it was not a family heirloom so he eventually traded it off for something more utilitarian. I did think the cartridge was cool.

Blasphemy!! I’m partial to the winchesters though.

What's that chambered in? Hold onto that one, those flatsides are worth quite a bit.

Chiappa 1892 clone in 45 Colt. Color case hardened, slicker than snot.


Marlin 39a, 22LR.


Tried finding pics of the ones I've sold, but I apparently deleted them in shame. There was a Marlin 336, a Marlin 444, and a Henry Long Ranger.
