Lever Action Gut Punch!!!

[The O'Meara]

Please tell me what's your go to "SASS" event lever gun and if it's is slicked up or not? 

[Hashknife Cowboy]

Winchester/Miroku 1873 in .45, 20 inch barrrel-unmodified

[Trailrider #896]

Two (2) Rossi '92 carbines (one .44-40, one .44 Extra Long Russian...aka .44 Mangle-em). Neither slicked up. Basically just worn in.

Stay well and safe, Pards!  Happy Holidays!

[Eyesa Horg]

Marlin (Jm) 1894 Cowboy Competition in .45 Colt. Somewhat slicked.

[McCandless]

Varies...

.Original Winchester '73, born in 1880.  New springs... didn't want to go with 140 year-old springs.  But I keep them in the workshop, to give to the next owner, when my time is up.

.Uberti 1873, slicked and short-stroked.  It doesn't make me faster, but it's a joy to shoot.  Just like I have an 8-cylinder in my truck... still have to drive the speed limit.

.Marlin '94  Stock except for lighter springs... and a short-stroked Marlin '94.  Again, it doesn't make me faster.  But, it feels so nice.

.Original Winchester '92, born in 1894.  Stock.  Gotta run it hard.  Extremely tight groups.  

.Others... but you get the idea.

 

Winchester Model 1873, w/20" octagon barrel, born in 1880...  New springs and sights, but originals have been kept.  Bore is 75-80%

[Throckmorton,23149]

Early Uberti '66 some smoothing and a medium short stroke, I regret not short stroking it from the get\go.  45colt

[JP McLintock]

Marlin 94, different springs, and one piece firing pin.

 

Bought 2 of them for about what a 73 would have cost. 

 

[High Spade Mikey Wilson]

I have two.

One is a Uberti 1873, 20" octagon barrel, 38/357, pistol grip stock with just a short stroke kit.

The other is 1 of 5000 made Browning 53 in 32-20 Win., modified with extended magazine tube, and completely slicked up.

[Sarge]

Taylors/Uberti 73 Codymatic.

[Trailboss (Santa) Dave]

I have 2 Uberti 73's, 2 66's, a Henry Repeating Arms 1860 in a mix of 45 Colt and 44-40 and have not bee slicked up

 

But my pair of go to guns are Marlins in 357 and they have been slicked up

I've shot my Daisy Red Ryder a couple of times at monthly matches.... What a Hoot!!!!

It's Slow, but usually Clean since the counters can't see or hear any of the shots.... Any Doubt goes to the Shooter 

 

But normally it's a Winchester/Miroku 1866, 18" short rifle, slicked up and short stroked in 38

[Three Foot Johnson]

Pick a "go to" out of 29... what is this, the Sophie's Choice of CAS?

They all get their turn, except the POS Taurus Thunderbolt, but the most used are probably either a Uberti 1873 w/20" round barrel .38-40, 3rd gen short stroke, aluminum carrier, Grabber front sight, Whisper springs, stainless mag spring... maybe a couple other goodies that don't come to mind at the moment...

 

or...

 

a Uberti 1866 .38 spl w/17" octagon barrel, 3rd gen short stroke and shaved original springs.

Thinking of putting a bigger sight on mine. Getting hard to see that little thing.

Since I put it on that little gremlin that was stealing my front sight in the middle of a stage has pretty much stopped doing it. Thinking about a set for the Rugers next.

[Pee Wee #15785]

USFA lighting in .44-40, sometimes Uberti 73 in .44-40 or Rossi 20" or 24" in .44-40, a 1929 special order Marlin in .25-20 then the lone .45 Colt Marlin.

[Mud Marine,SASS#54686 Life]

.45 Colt Henry Big Boy. I have fired housands of rounds of warthog loads of Holy Black with nary a hitch. The only work was by me.

 

My other SASS rifles are in .357, Magnum, and .44 Magnum plus side match .38-55 and .50-140.

[H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619]

Well, I won't be the first to say it, by my "go to" gun for SASS is a pump action Lightning by AWA in .45 Colt.

 

I suppose my "go to LEVER" gun would be a real Winchester 73 in .32-20.

[Major E A Sterner #12916]

Uberti 66 in .38 special, short stroked,action job, full buckhorn rear sight,large bead front sight, leather stock cover and lever wrap and smooth cycle sleeve kit
