Well, I must say the opinions are widely varied. The Marlin is one of the newer micro-grooved variation, but has NO cross bolt safety, so I believe it is an older (20 years +/-) gun. I had the Winchester 9422, briefly, years ago. I don't remember much about owning it :( except it was a reliable feed...

I am looking at two used and one new lever 22. The used ones are the Winchester 9422 and a Marlin 39. Both are in excellent shape and look real nice. The new lever gun is a Henry .22. If you had to pick one, which would it be. I know next to nothing about 22 levers so any advice is good advice.

Oh my! Our house cat did that once and the smell was indescribably horrific. Ysabel Kid is right. Its time to burn those clothes.

That is a great find indeed. A standard length commercial grade FN 98 Mauser action would cost more that that entire rifle if you were looking to build from scratch. I have an H&R rifle, same caliber and action, with an 18" barrel and full length Mannlicher stock. I paid $450.00 for it, and...

.30-30 is, without doubt, a "most under-appreciated" cartridge. Reload it and try it in a Savage 340 or Winchester model 54 and see for yourself. It is also a great loading in a 94.
