Here's another single shot lever gun from the safe.





This is a Marlin Ballard first year 1875, #6 Schuetzen. It was retrofitted by world famous barrel maker H.M. Pope, with Pope's 1888 patented takedown system. It has 3 barrels in .32-40, .28 Pope Special, and .22WCF. It also has bases for the Winchester A5 telescope on each barrel. It has several Pope tools with the set, along with a Pope false muzzle starter fitted to the .28 Pope barrel. The case is fitted for all the barrels and extra accessories, and has the owner's name on the top. LG Priddy (Leonard George Priddy) was a top shooter on the Denver Rifle Club's team when they set the world record in 1919.
This rifle is the only known example of H.M. Pope's takedown system, with three barrels. I've seen one other in a single barrel takedown .22 Ballard.

Old - Pre 64 win model 94 30-30 I learned to hunt with many moons ago and handed down from my father. I think my Grandfather won it in a fishing derby in the 50's. New - Jm Marlin in 45-70 I purchased used from a member here.

Here's another old Marlin from the safe.
An 1893 made in 1894. The caliber is .25-36 Marlin, and it is a takedown also. It was special ordered as a takedown, and also with a Whitney-Kennedy trapdoor buttplate fitted at the factory. Has some unusual sights also. Original Marlin mold, .25-36M ammunition, and Ideal .25-36M marked tong tool.

Very fine rifle (there is just something about those pre-64s) and an even more neat family history. 'gratz.

Shotgun is just a mantle piece my dad picked up for decor years ago. Pretty old but no family history or any particular rarity. Looks cool though and is Damascus twist. Gun rack/bookcase my dad made in wood shop as a kid.

Then you are looking for a conversion, since the 1895 wasn't chambered in .375 H&H.

Originally, only through the custom shop as a non cataloged chambering!
VERY RARE!

I've never heard that and I find no reference to such a chambering. If we ever get back to Cody I will have to look into that.

Hello Rusty, welcome.

H+H, huh? I've heard that's a tough one to kick.

Alas, not much help here with firearm addictions. We're all pretty much enablers. And I freely admit to being one.

The Rossi, aka "Shiny Pew" to use my daughter's sobriquet for said carbine, came along whilst harvesting wood on Saturday.

This thread makes me want a lever gun even more...



Want that one right there lol. gib marlin! Haters will hate the stainless or synthetic stock but I don't care. it's chambered in 38spc/357mag and it comes with threaded barrel to make the anti's hate it even more.

Oh my, that looks like fun. Most assuredly said setup with a 9㎜/.38 silencer would be something wonderful.
