I also created a post on the WTB threadI would like to have a 30-30 lever action rifle. Does anyone have one for sale that would not break my bank?

Huh, is that some sort of new WOKE cartridge? Asking for a friend30-30 is for girls! Real men shoot .32WS.
32 Winchester Special. Bigger brother of the 30-30.Huh, is that some sort of new WOKE cartridge? Asking for a friend
it seems it’s marginally better. I’ve never seen that cartridge before, certainly not at the big box stores.32 Winchester Special. Bigger brother of the 30-30.

IIRC, Winchester hasn't chambered the Model 94 in 32 WS since the late 1950's. It's essentially a necked up 30-30. If comparing them using identical bullet weights, they are almost ballistic twins of each other. Last I checked, some years ago, Remington and Winchester only manufacture a few special runs of the factory ammo a few times a year. Never did gain the popularity the 30-30 did for some reason.it seems it’s marginally better. I’ve never seen that cartridge before, certainly not at the big box stores.
So I suppose unless you reload you are SOL. These special runs can’t be cheapIIRC, Winchester hasn't chambered the Model 94 in 32 WS since the late 1950's. It's essentially a necked up 30-30.

Pretty much. But they are super easy to reload. Just run a 30-30 case into a 32 WS resizing die and voila! Prime and charge and seat a bullet. Reloading data is very similar to a 30-30 as well. Powders that work well in 30-30, also wok very well in 32 WS.So I suppose unless you reload you are SOL. These special runs can’t be cheap
I’ve picked them up at Cabela’s before, and found some out at Wylie’s Guns last year. They actually had 3 kinds of .32WS.Pretty much. But they are super easy to reload.

I still have a set of 32 WS dies from when my father reloaded for his many years ago.
I have some Marlins you can check out next time you go to Lonestar if you like. They aren't for sale, but you can definitely shoot them all. No 44 though. 357, 30-30 and 45-70.I'd love to own a lever action in almost any caliber but 22, I've been looking around. The prices keep going up AND, in calibers like 44 mag, you CANNOT FIND ONE!
I can remember when you could go into a pawn shop, or gun store and find them in fair to decent condition for less than $100. I have bought several many years ago for even $75 or less.I'd love to own a lever action in almost any caliber but 22, I've been looking around.

Ditto. Mine is a 1953 and belonged to my dad. I have not hunted with it, but have good memories of shooting it with him.One of my guns that I would never sell is a Winchester 94 made in 1951. I inherited that gun and the sentimental value alone makes it priceless. It has the original iron sights on it and has killed many a deer and hog.
