You can't even find .457 WWG ammo for sale. The last listing from Midway was $82 a box and is listed as discontinued. I even searched AmmoSeek. I do like the cartridge though.

Try the Marlin .375 Winchester (looks like the 336) if you can find one. Mine is plenty hot with factory ammo and can get hotter with hand loads.Livin the dream here, in the form of 4 ( yup, go big or go home) Winchester 1895 lever actions! 3 of them are in .30/06 and one is in .405 Winchester!
My wet dream would be a matched pair, one chambered in .375 H&H, and the other a take down in .500 Jeffries! How cool would that be!
I Have a few Marlin 1895's, one a Original 100 year anniversary half round/half octagonal and the other a XLR stainless that's been highly worked over! Both are really slick and shoot very nicely! Had a 336 years ago in .35 Rem, it was a nice and slick shooter, but the cartridge left me wanting, and was never of fan of the .30 WCF ether! Would love to play with one in something a little hotter, but haven't found the right combo yet!

It still takes standard .45/70. Kind of a .44 special to .44 mag deal.
In '78 a friend of my dad bought a 94 AE in .375 Winchester.Try the Marlin .375 Winchester (looks like the 336) if you can find one. Mine is plenty hot with factory ammo and can get hotter with hand loads.
Nice. How is it with that suppressor? Quiet enough to shoot it without using ear protection?
So who's going to grab one of those 12ga Levers and let me know how good it is?
I really like the carbine version of the 1895 Winchester. A baby one in 7.62 x 39 would be cool.View attachment 663184
Take my word for it, it's VERY cool! Your son will treasure it.My paternal Grandfather bought a model 1873 Winchester .38WCF (38-40) in 1900. My father inherited it upon his fathers death and gave it to me about thirty years ago. My grandson will be a teenager in a few days but I am not ready to part with this rifle yet so he may have to wait until I'm gone to receive it. Anyway, how cool would it be to own your great, great Grandfather's firearm? I am excited for him. Tom
But it would be so easy and non projectySo tempted. Just juggling too many gun projects at the present to take the plunge.

Old? In my world, that's almost new!="DeanMk, post: 2471743, member: 9736"]
my old 94 Winchester that I sold about 3 years ago.
It was made in '79.....
Thank you for your response. You are fortunate to have that rifle I think. My Grandfather was born in 1881 and my father in 1925 when both my grand parents were in their early forties. He (grandfather) went to Alaska for the gold rush and did well financially as a Teamster hauling goods out and in the gold fields. When he returned to Washington he opened a livery stable in Kent and also a sawmill in Enumclaw on the forty acres he owned there. He was in his sixties when I was a boy and lived well into his eighties and I still remember him hauling firewood logs on a horse drawn sledge cut on his property. Tough old coot. This rifle is going to my grandson not my son as my son is a devout member of the jehovah's witnesses and I fear it would be sold and the proceeds given to his church. He has an absolute right to his beliefs but so do I. Again thanks for you relating your positive feelings about having your ancestors firearm. Best. TomTake my word for it, it's VERY cool! Your son will treasure it.
