@floridafyme Thanks!!

[bigghauss35]

the first lever action was the 30-30 winchester, the gun that won the west

[JohnWayneColt45]

@bigghauss35 Actually it was the Henry Rifle.The Winchester 1866 was modeled after it.

@JohnWayneColt45 i'm not trying to start an argument but the 30-30 was the first gun to be made and mass produced with a lever action. made by winchester

[JohnWayneColt45]

@bigghauss35 Mass produced yes, but the Henry was the first Lever action rifle.

Very nice collection.

I believe the Winchester 1873 is the rife that's referred to as "the gun that won the west".

[MegaGevehr]

That is a downright gorgeous SAA

@bigghauss35 The first practical lever acton sold was the Spencer rifle in 1860. Although the Henry rifle evolved from the Volcanic lever acton design of the 1850's, mass producton of the Henry rifle did not start until 1862. Oliver Winchester bought the Henry rifle patents; the first actual Winchester lever rifle was the Model 1866 in 44 Henry rimfire. The Model 1873 was a steel-framed 1866 in 44-40 centerfire. The 1st true Win design was the Model 1876. The 30-30 didn't arrive until 1894.

The Volcanic was the first "lever action" rifle. The result was the Henry 1860, then the 1866 Winchester which begain the famous rifle line, 1873, 1892 THEN the 1894. The 1873 was chambered for the 44 WCF along with other smaller calibers. The 94 was the 30-30 of which was also the first non-black powder cartridge. Never was the rifle offered in 45 Colt. The 45 Colt is a fine cartridge and is great in that rifle. Obviously Winchester did not want COLTS name anywhere on the rifle! NICE VIDEO!

@bigghauss35 i'm sorry, your right. it was the first repeating rifle. completely sorry, but i do have a question if the henry rifle was the first repeating rifle why is the winchester more popular for the times?
