Welp, looks like I got lucky on the pal wait list lottery and ended up getting my license after 5 weeks. So he's the first purchase 🤣 h006 big boy 357. Not pictured is the family heirlooms (cooey 600, 1915 bsa 303)

Talked my buddy into buying one of those during breakfast one day. after he had been saying he wanted a lever gun for years since I let him shoot mine. Pretty nice for what it is. pretty hefty too. The octagon barrel looks sick

I feel this. I ended up paying for it the day I applied for my pal and my best friend bought it and took it home so I wouldn't miss out. It was in the line up of .22 levers and the brass stood out at first, then the cut out for the tube (with it being beside .22 i saw that and had to see what it was chambered in. Then when I saw the octagon and felt the action on it, I was sold. 5 weeks later, the license was it, the transfer went thru and I picked it up.

Wait that thing's in 22 LR? Cool. Didn't realize they made it in rimfire. My buddy got it in 357. Because I offered to reload for it at cost.

Edit. Rereading your comment you didn't make it quite clear is it in 22lr or 347

Oh sorry, its 357. At the shop it was in the line up beside the .22 levers. The tube mag cut out was what tipped me off to it being a larger caliber
