A picture worth a thousand words!

20181105_201304.jpg
So many enjoyed this picture last year that I thought it was worth posting again while sitting in on a rain day at camp.
It is circa 1948. These are some of the founding fathers of the camp that I joined 25 years ago. Lever action guns prevailed.
Enjoy!

1892 carbine vs short rifle

Hi All,
Looking for opinion,
I am looking to purchase a current production Winchester 1892 in 44 Mag. 20"

Carbine or Short Rifle?

Other than the obvious visual differences in forearm and butt stock..........is there other considerations in handling or performance,

Thanks,

Gary
