I love Leverguns
I never heard of this site until a friend of mine told me about a classified ad on here about a Whitney Kennedy. I had to look and see what he was referring to and then signed up. I have a bunch of levers and I like the older stuff. I have 2 Whitney Kennedys and lots of other stuff. I have hunted most big game in Montana and even Alaska with these old guns and continue to collect and shoot them.
Here are a few...

I can't believe if it's Stovall that he hadn't found this place long before now.

You actually read his stuff? I keep telling him he only has about 27 readers, you would make 28. There is another "Shrapnel" story coming in the near future...

Re: I love Leverguns
Welcome to Leverguns. You are def. in the right place for your habit. Very nice collection you have there. Any good pics of the Whitney Kennedy? I see the one on the top of the bottom pic. I would love to see more.
I have always thought they were neat ever since I seen the pic and read the caption that Billy The Kid gave one to US Marshal Eugene Van Patten.

Re: I love Leverguns
Here are the Whitney Kennedys. One is a rifle with the early "S" lever, the other a rare SRC, both in 44-40...
Re: I love Leverguns
Welcome to group, I haven't been around long but you won't find a better bunch anywhere. Also, you have an awesome collection of gorgeous rifles.

A big OL welcome from a Gun Nut plain and simple. That is a nice looking display. Do You sell Guns or just show them. I made some people mad last weekend. I took My P38 and 3 Bayonets- M1 Carbine-M1 Garand and one for an AR15. When asked How much I said they aren't for sale, They are just here for the Show part of Gun SHow. I finally put them away. I also ramble so take everything I say with a grain of Red Dot.

A hearty welcome to our campfire! You have a beautiful collection of classic lever guns.

Make that 30! I lived in Deer Lodge for a while. If I ever run into MLV I ain't sure if I'm gonna buy him a drink or kick him in the knee....that man has cost me a lot of money over the years, with him making all these leverguns sound so exotic and cool. Yeaqh I think I'l blame him for this....Tom

I assume that Whitney Kennedy is the one that MLV refers to in a recent Rifle magazine article?

Re: I love Leverguns
Ummm, is it just the lighting OR is the top left gun in your second picture in the original post a Burgess wrist slide rifle? I don't know what it's actually called but that's the best way I can describe it. What a fantastic group of rifles on display. Welcome to the forum.

Re: I love Leverguns
Wow, good eyes, I actually have both. I'm not confined to just leverguns, a few other oddballs attract my attention as well. The top gun is a Burgess wrist/slide action shotgun, the next one down is a really rare Burgess wrist/slide action rifle in 44-40 with 2 sets of barrels...Rimfire McNutjob wrote:Ummm, is it just the lighting OR is the top left gun in your second picture in the original post a Burgess wrist slide rifle?

Here are a couple of Lightinings, one in 38-40, the other 44-40...

Re: I love Leverguns
Fantastic display there, Shrapnel. Welcome to the forum: I'm seriously glad to have somebody else here who may occasionally do something that the regular folks wouldn't consider "prudent".
Also I make #33 (at least) for Mike, but I think Old Savage has him beat. Hey, I looked real hard there, OS, but I'm pretty sure I don't have any granddaughters in your picture
