Legacy of Leverguns

Many of you may already have this item, but for those who don't, Wolfe Publishing still has them and had an ad for them in the latest issue of Rifle mag. I called Wolfe and ordered over the phone for $7. The issue came in just about 3 days and is, of course, wall to wall lever articles by Scovill et al. It was originally published back in 2000.

It's a bit light on the Marlins, nothing on the Savage 99, and the 9422 stuff isn't reviewed (thought the 39AS is). It's got a big Winchester tilt to it but is nonetheless a good read.

The article titles are ...

Winchester Model 1886
Marlin Lever Guns
Winchester 1892
The Henry Rifle
Winchester Model 1894
Favorite Lever Guns and Their Loads
Winchester Model 1895
Winchester's Big Bores
Winchester Model 71
USRAC Black Shadow
Loading the Blackpowder WCF Lever-Action Cartridges
Winchester Lever-Action Rifles - The Prewar Years
Winchester Serial Numbers
Special Catalog Section
Lever Guns on the Last Frontier

First levergun publication I bought and still the one I reread the most!

Oh, and I am becoming a Marlin guy.

I sure agree, I have my WELL USED copy residing on the same shelf as my reloading manuals. I've read that thing from cover to cover and back again. Scovill is a fine author, straight shooter!

I DO wish it had more on Marlins as well though!
