I haven't seen one in at least 30 years, but, yes, they were a real thing. I've still got one in a parts bin in the garage.

I've been on Warfarin in the past, but it required regular visits to the Dr. and weekly dosage adjustments. Then Xarelto, and now Eliquis. I don't remember why they switched me from Xarelto to Eliquis...? Unless I'm doing something where I'm going to get cut or poked, regardless, I don't notice any difference, like I don't start bleeding spontaneously or somesuch. I might bruise a little easier than I used to, but I'm not really sure. If I do, it's not a big difference. If I'm out fixing fence, I'm going to come back to the house looking like this, and it just takes a little longer to quit now than it used to. A long sleeve denim shirt would probably help a lot.

Sold, pending funds.

All three SPF.

Both are quite smooth, but I don't know of that's the result of an "action job" or if they were just built with a little more care fifty years ago than they are today. The only thing really noticeable when levering is the "Marlin bump" when closing from the bump on the bottom of the bolt. It's light and smooth enough to easily lever the empty action with one finger.

I've got five of these, this one and four more in .38-40. They work well.

Lee made two styles of the 358-125-RF mold, so a top punch made for the one on the left is going to leave a ring gouged into the nose of the right one. As above, just use a flat punch or fit it to the nose with a dab of JB or epoxy. Smear a bit of vaseline on the bullet so it doesn't get glued to the punch.

My late buddy JINKS, which stood for "Just an Imaginary Name for Kris Stanley".
He was aiming for a steampunk look and pulled it off pretty well. Woke up dead of "natural causes" nine years ago at 48.

I have seven fixed sight ROA'S, 4 blue and 3 stainless, which is about five too many.
I think I'll take these off your hands, pick out two of the blued ones to keep, and sell four or five of my "spares".
Shoot me an address and I'll get a money order off to you Monday.

I was going to use my Armi Sport .56-.50 Spencer in Wild Bunch one time, and found out, although the rifle is legal, there is apparently no exception for .56-.50 like in CAS. The rifle is legal when used with cartridges it was never originally chambered in, but not the original .56-.50 chambering... go figure.

I used the one pictured in Black Hills Barb's post above for a lot of years, but I'm 6' 4" and north of 300, +gunbelt, guns, etc, and it always worried me a bit when I sat on it. This one is a little heavier constructed and has a back, but it's too tall, even for me. I cut 4" off each leg with a tubing cutter.
Mainstays, from Walmart.

I've only seen a couple ever come up for sale. I don't know how they got around the problem of feeding such a short cartridge. They hold 9 instead of 7 like the rest.

Too much? You can always PM me an offer.

As best as I've been able to tell, this 10g American Arms Fox Patent Side Swing was made between 1870 and 1872. I've used it in several matches.

As Marauder said, your M94 .30-30 is legal for Long Range rifle caliber lever action side matches - I've never seen this side match divided into black and smokeless, so either powder will work. Your '94 .44 mag is suitable for Long Range pistol caliber lever action side matches and also as a main match rifle. Once again, I've never seen the pistol cal lever action side match divided into black and smokeless. While there are black powder categories, of course, I've never heard of a smokeless category, meaning there is no category that specifies you must use smokeless powder. Black is good in all categories. In my limited experience with them, the Model 94 isn't a good choice for a main match rifle because the long action isn't made to feed the shorter .357, .44 mag, .44-40, and .45 Colt cartridges.
