Just won a Gunbroker auction for a Model 53 so the decision is made!

Fine looking rig.
I want to make stuff like that once I get my sewing machine.

I'm a bolt guy... accuracy, light weight... but I love my 1886 and these beautiful lever guns you guys are posting are pure gun porn! I'd love to have several more lever guns and time to shoot 'em all.

I have all those you list, and by far the one I shoot much more is the 53 in .32-20. Just how many .405s or .348s can one shoot pleasurably in a range session?  Even with mild / reduced cast bullet light loads ....

1895 in .405 would be my choice of the 3.

Really like that carbine! I have a 1895 in .30US circa 1900. Shoots great with full buckhorn rear sight. ![[Linked Image]](https://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n157/rreeseiii/1895%2030%20US_zps7lbxclki.jpg) T.S.
