Ever seen a lever action like this on a Savage? Seen plenty on Winchesters, never on a savage. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/1182863/i-pz2PxsQ/1/1bba6ace/L/20170930_045018-L.jpg)

Begs the question: Why? Those things don't serve a purpose even on Win-Lins. (Unless one fancies himself a 50's TV cowboy who panders to 11 year olds.)
Even if intended for use with bulky mittens, how can one in turn pull the trigger without taking them off, in which case the big loop becomes a moot point.

The same reasons when I see some of these Mexican boots. WHY?! ![[Linked Image]](https://2012patriot.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/new-boots-3.jpg)

Knob heads are we? Says the guy with a press checkered 99, in 308 to boot!  I thought that loop was for hanging the gun over a fence post so as a guy could take a leak hands free.

The pointy toes help getting through deep sand. Since cowboys try to walk as little as possible they are about as worthless as that loop lever. Apaches and Arabs made moccasins or shoes with turned up toes like that because they walked through loose sand.
That lever has to a Hollywood invention. I never saw one at a cowboy shoot. It would slow the shooter down. CAS is a speed event. The Rifleman's rifle was equipped with a gadget that fired the rifle when the lever was closed so he didn't have to fumble around trying to find the trigger again. David

I had one of those gadgets on my lever action cap gun. I was the king of the neighborhood cowboys with that thing. (Just last week.)

I think there's a couple episodes where either Lucas or one of the bad guys calls attention to his rapid fire "gadget." I think it was just a set screw placed in a location that would trip the trigger when the lever was closed. Anyone ever see a picture of it? I haven't.

I think I saw a pic of it once. But Lord knows where I saw it. Possibly in something related to cowboy shooting. David

The original "Rifleman" Winchesters used a screw to activate the trigger. I had a cap gun in the early '60s that used a folding metal tab you could keep down for single shots or fold up for "full auto" just like Lucas used to do. A lot of bad guys hit the dirt! This one owned by Chuck Connors auctioned in 2012 for $40K+ ![[Linked Image]](https://s1.postimg.org/691bzt0dkv/rifleman.jpg)
