I'm looking for a lever action rifle that falls under the antique status. My understanding is that because a lever action is mag fed, no centre fire will qualify. So I need to find a rim fire.

Does anyone have a list of lever guns that qualify?

I know the 1860 Henry was .44 rim, and the 1866 Winchester was also .44 rim. So those qualify. Does anyone know of any others?
 
Spencer rifle and carbine. Probably the cheapest choice. A shootable Henry will cost you at least $10,000. 1866 about the same. Spencer you could get for $2000-$3000. The ammo will cost you the same. just saying.
 
They do make a centerfire conversion breechblock for the Spencer to allow you to shoot a shortened 50/70 cartridge.They are a bit hard to find but they are available
