Lever Action Rifles

RIA: Marlin 1897 Bicycle Rifle

February 23, 2016 Ian McCollum 33

Revolver

RIA: An Overview of the Pinfire Revolver System

Shotgun

RIA: Colt Shotguns of the Old West (1878 & 1883)

February 21, 2016 Ian McCollum 21

Lever Action Rifles

RIA: Whitney-Scharf Lever-Action Rifle

February 18, 2016 Ian McCollum 10

The Whitney-Scharf was the final rifle manufactured by the Whitney company before it was bought out and closed down by Winchester in 1888. Only about 2,000 of these rifles were made before that time.
