So, I've always gone through phases where I have an intense interest in a particular clustering of firearms. (For that matter the same can said about many intellectual pursuits and other proclivities. The beloved calls them "the present intense interest".) This year has been marked by the lever-action. I've always liked them and "cut my teeth" on them as the first center-fire rifles back in the youthful days. Not sure where it will go, but thus far, it has been most felicitous to shoot the old ones and acquire new ones this year. The little, quiet one is the start of some delightful, off-beat fun. But, I digress.
That said, now that there is a pause in personal and business matters, I thought to inquire what spare to keep on hand? Other systems it is more obvious. With this one, less so, at least in my experience. I never really had a lever-gun fail me. There was one that required two trips back to the factory, but that was an anomaly. I do so love a technology that "just works".
So what parts would you keep on hand to keep them running? Just various springs and a firing pin? Other parts and for what systems? Thanks!
