[QUOTE="Trooper Joe, post: 3692782, member: 45088"] In 1966 (before the Cowboy action interest in leverguns) I had a friend convert a 32-20 SRC into a .357/.38 carbine for me. I carried this gun on patrol as a Michigan Trooper at the Flint Post. The gun was perfect as a patrol rifle since we could use our .38 Special rounds if we had to as well as the .357 rounds. In the mid 90’s after I retired, I got back into lever guns and discovered that the Cowboy action shooting sport was responsible for the creation of many fantastic lever guns and renewed interest in them. I am now the proud owner of the following samples: Browning .22 LR Browning B53, 32-20 Chiappa Model 92, 44-40 SRC Henry Brass Big Boy, .44 Mag, Michigan State Police 100th Anniversary model Marlin 1894 CS, 38/.357 Marlin 1894-P, .44 Mag., trapper length barrel Marlin 336Y,, 30-30 Rossi, M92, 16” barrel, .357 Mag Rossi, M92, 16” barrel, .45 Colt Winchester 1894 (XRT), 30-30 (Mfg 1987/ pre cross bolt safety) Winchester 1894, 30-30, Mfg 1952 Winchester 1894, .32 Special, Mfg pre-1964 Winchester/Miroku 1892, 32-20 Winchester 1894 SRC, “Trapper”, .45 Colt Mfg 1990 (year before cross bolt safety) Winchester 9422M, .22 Magnum Winchester/Miroku model 1873, .357 Magnum Winchester/Miroku 1894, SRC 20” barrel, 38-55 Looking for an 1894 Marlin in .32 H&R Magnum so that I can convert it into a .327 Magnum. I had a Henry model of .327 Magnum but sold it. I should have kept that one. I love lever guns (if a rifle doesn’t have a lever, it is not really a gun 🤠). I also think they would make great PC LEO patrol rifles. Just some thoughts, Trooper Joe [/QUOTE]
