Very nice. IMPO these are the very best rimfire levers of all time.
The straight stocked/shorter barrel Mountie is my personal favorite.
They sure look cool with the tang sights.
Thanks for sharing!

You are welcome Patrick!

Nothing like good gun pics. The case color on those three is one of my favorite pictures.

The vintage tangs are gettin to be more than half the $$ of a good MVA sight. Some of these in this picture of 1893s and 1894s inherited the MVAs off Ballards I sold.

Replacing the bases was over $110 at MVA. Tried advertising trades Ballard-for-Marlin Levers but couldn’t find any takers.

Now I have to sell some Ballard bases.

Btw, I just watched a Marbles Tang sight for a Marlin 1893 go for $410 on ebay. I recall when $275 was steep.
