Lever Gun History
Lever Gun History
I thought I had seen every Hickok 45 video but I ran across this tonight. Great topic of Lever Guns. Hope you enjoy it.

Re: Lever Gun History
Great video, Lyman - many thanks for posting it.
Some of the other vids on the same link were very interesting, too, especially the handgun load comparison and the underwater vid.

Re: Lever Gun History
Did enjoy the vid...thanks for posting, Lyman.
Interesting that there was the Henry displayed alongside all those Winchesters. I remember the solo video Hickok45 did when he first got his 1860 Henry --- he was so excited and couldn't say enough on how much he liked it! Also interesting to see displayed mostly side-loaders. Gave me a good idea how long that loading system has been around. Hickok's "rifle evolution" approach was very cool.
Wow, what a collection of lever-action rifles! It would be some kind of fun to shoot them on that range of his.

Re: Lever Gun History
PT7, Yes he had to include the Henry. All part of the History. I agree with you. That was a very nice collection of Lever Guns and would be something else to be able to shoot them all.

Re: Lever Gun History
Good video, thanks. I always enjoy his video's, even if he does tend to be a little long winded.

Re: Lever Gun History
When I go pick up my new .357 BBS I’m going to have to ask my friend who owns the shop if I can get an invite back to his dads house to see his vault again. Last time I was there (almost 20 years ago, he had a 10x10 room with double height rows around all four walls lined with about 90% old lever guns. There were literally hundreds of them. I guess you get to cherry pick lot of cool guns when you own a shop in the big city that’s been open over 60 years. My gun knowledge is a lot better now than it was then, and I’d love a chance to see some of the gems.PT7 wrote:Wow, what a collection of lever-action rifles!

Re: Lever Gun History
Just Luv this video. I have probably viewed this thing more than I can count on both hands. This video although it's not the only reason it most certainly has played a big part in my obsession and reason for acquiring the lever guns I currently own. I should have my latest which is a Winchester 1892 Takedown in a couple more weeks.
