Default Lever Guns
With the potential of the gun grabbing crowd being in the majority after the November election, lever guns and revolvers may be all that's left to us, if indeed anything at all is left to us.

This might have been a very good strategic acquisition.

My shop actually had one in store about 3 weeks ago. It was really nice feeling. It was a demo only though. I think based on the 4 seconds I got to hold it, they did a nice job.

Ugh! Iw as going to look into getting one. Now, I'm not so sure. I equate those to the S&W Revolver locks! Will not buy any post lock revolvers.
