Setter,
Thanks for the tips. When I buy a gun I buy it for life. I did look at all the lever guns in 22wmr... the 1894m and the 9422m would be the only 2 I would consider. Being that the 1894m are hard to come by and the parts even scarcer I'm leaning toward the 94.
Bob,
I'm sure your boy loved the it, it's quite a gun. I'll keep looking local, but if nothing I may have to go the gunbroker way...
If anyone's got any leads let me know. I'd greatly appreciate it...
