So tell us..
What rifle holds the edge of your checkbook?  What gleaming steel and wood contraption will be the next one for you and why?

Adios,

I'm thinkin either a Henry or a Yellowboy fer my next rifle gun. I got a pair of 58s and one of those would look way better with them C & B pistolas than my 92s! 8)

I really don't know.  Not craving anything in particular at the moment.  Though I would like an original Colt Lightning.  I'd have to get it to El Rod for a clean up and rebuild though.

Paper Chaser

Well, I suppose a Yellowboy but have NO CLUE what caliber I should go for, so long as I can shoot BP in it.  Saw a couple at a gunshow this weekend but the $$$$ were too steep. Next would have to be a '73 or a Henry.

What I would really love to get is an Iron Frame Henry in .44 special, although nobody is making them (yet!). For now I am hoping to someday get a Cimarron 73' in .44 special. I love the look of the "Short Border" rifle. There is something about the curved pistol grip stock that is just plain good looking!

I have the 73, 92, and Henry lust covered. The next one has to be a 66 Yellowboy. Maybe a carbine in 44-40, because the 92 and Henry are rifle length, the 73 is a short rifle. I still have a need for a Sharps also, either in 45-70 or 45-90. Then again, a 86 in 45-70 would be cool also. 8)

Man! I'm starting to sweat and shake, somebody stop me before I buy again! :o ;)

I'm thinking of getting a Lightning, in .45 Colt of course.  I'll be patient though and see how the soon to be brought out models look as well as give AWA some more debugging time.

Well I was looking for a 66 in 44 spl.  that I could have converted to 44 Russian but at the NCOWS convention I found a Henry that had already been converted and only had to be adjusted to the length of rounds I was using.  Well I had it at the smith's I had mill a dovetail on the receiver where the early Henrys and all of the Volcanics had their rear sights.  It came out real nice but I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet :( but hope to soon.  I did have to seat my bullets out about .001 shallower to function reliably.

I still would like a 66...after all the last 4 digits of my phone number are 6673.  I already have the 73  ;)

Hi Seas Cowboy

I've got my eye on a 73' in carbine form, 45 caliber(would prefer 44 caliber), slicked up and short stroked ;D.

Not a rifle, per se, but a carbine.

I'm looking for an original Saddle-Ring Krag in nice shape.

I've seen a few 1899 Carbines, but they don't do much for me, and weren't really issued until after the operations in Cuba and the Phillipines.

A Henry in .44 special so I can shoot .44 Colts in it.

Of course, that means I'm gonna have to give up my 1866 carbine in .44 special.   I've also got an 1866 rifle in the same caliber but I'm keeping that as I prefer the rifle to the carbine.

Well, I'm thinking about one of them new Marlins in 32 H&R for my Lovely Bride. THat way she can shoot the same caliber in her rifle and pistols.

I wish someone else would make a 92 in 32 H&R.  I would rather have that than the 94, but I might have to settle on the 94.

An 1873....probably a Border Rifle model in .45 LC.  Really like the look of that pistol grip stock.

Silver Creek Slim

Okay.
I am in "need" of a Marlin 1895 .45-70 w/ a straight stock.  ;D

I think I'll be looking for a Border Rifle, 1873.
Could be a time to look at the 38-40.. but I'll have to be reloading by then.. ;)
