Uberti and Taylors Firearms both sell lever action in 45 LC, .357 Mag, 44-40 and 44 Mag. Looks like most of them are in the $1200+ range.

Leverevolution ammo are pointy bullets for tube mags. They work fantastically. A soft rubber point is added to the front of a hollowpoint to give it the streamlining necessary for increased accuracy. Really sweet ammo that works fantastic in tube feed lever guns. Lever guns aren’t exactly tack drivers anyway, but the Leverevolution ammo gets all out of the accuracy they have to give. Sweet and no down side. I am sorry I bought all those cases of blunt nose before I discovered the Leverevolution ammo.
Seems it would not be that hard to bore these to .35 caliber for .35 remington. There is a cult following to the .35 rem that I think people would pay the premium.
I wonder what he did with them?
I try to stick to a few cartridges. Makes life simpler. For other people, they want one of everything, but I am like you. I want it simple. I think all mine are .45 ACP or 9mm, not counting .22 LR. And the price on it is reasonable. I would hate to pay the premium on .380, 10mm, or .45 Glock or some such.
Yeah, someday I have to get the cracked stock on my backup .336 fixed. I just dread giving it to somebody who will just screw it up. It is hard finding a really competent gunsmith or people who deal in furniture.
Never heard of it and had to look it up. Looks like it will do the trick as well as any other lever gun. There are no bad levers. They are all fun, light, easy handing guns with no downside except that they aren’t tack drivers. But then if they were, we probably wouldn’t need bolt actions too, would we? The more the merrier.
Just so sad about last summer’s boating accident on the way to the shooting meet...
It would be nice to be somewhat rich and not have so many other NEEDS competing for you money. I don’t see an 1892 any time soon. Someday. I always get what I want someday, but not very soon for this one. Not unless Uncle Lotto comes calling with winning numbers, and since I rarely play...
Thanks
The Uberti repros, which copy the early winchesters and some of the henrys.

IMO, the lever-action rifle is the ORIGINAL Assault Rifle.
And they still work well.
