That will be great Shooter, especially for the long guns...
ole442, I'd be looking at Winchester Model 94s primarily in .30-30 WIN. They're very popular as they have been in production since the late 1800s and there's tons of them for sale. There's a few .32-40s & .38-55s in the mix so look specifically for .30-30s as the ammunition is sold everywhere and starts at about $0.75 per round. Try to stick with the models built before 1964 because of material changes like sintered steel receivers, stamped action parts, and hollow pins. To accurize your Model 94, get a rear "Peep-sight" since a scope will not be of any advantage since the rifle ejects the spent shell upwards instead of out the side. In your search for a Winchester Lever Action, you'll run across some models that you'll want, but don't let the caliber bite you. Some of that old ammo is hard to find and can be quite pricey, which will negate the pleasure of shooting a lot. ... For what it's all worth...
