Oh boy... I've been bitten hard by the 44 Magnum Carbine bug...

Bought these two in the last few weeks.

So much fun. To shoot and to reload.

What make/model is that lever gun?

It looks good man!

It's a Smith & Wesson 1854 Stealth Hunter. Really pleased with it. Originally wanted the Ruger Marlin Dark, but couldn't find one. The bonus here is that with the money saved, I was able to put in a Timney trigger (very nice trigger for a lever gun), the Ranger Point Precision butt, ammo quiver, safety delete, lever take down screw, muzzle brake and the lower tension loading gate. Ended up still being a hundred or so to the good, and frankly, I don't think you're giving up anything with this new Smith and Wesson compared to the Marlin. Very very good quality.
 
I have one of those Rugers but the original .44mag carbine. Bought it back in the middle 90's for $450.00 Works great for eliminating groundhogs. Can only use jacketed bullets in them as lead bullets will quickly foul the gas operating system.

I always wanted one of the Chiapas 12” barrel take down, there is one on the EE I think or is it on ####### anyway, they are a bit above my budget and I read some rather horror stories about Chiapas being hit and miss with quality.
 
I have a Henry all weather which is really nice to shoot plus a Marlin 336-44 which I have never shot. It is an old ranchers gun original wood and metal have a nice patina to them no cracks or repairs but looks like it was carried everywhere.
