OK,,Give me a brake.I mis counted and only has 29 levers and was saving my favorite for last.BUT This Daisy gun dose have a story.
From 1991 to 1995 i owned a company called extreme demolishing. I worked off bids to PENN DOT to remove houses Churches stores barns trailers,anything in the way of road expanding.ONLY jobs that for 1 reason or another was unable to be done with heavy equipment.I always told my grew that i would give a bonus to anyone who found guns,knives anything of value doing the demo. on a lunch break i gut the news of a lever gun found in a attic.But the catch was i buy lunch for the guys or they weren't telling me were they hid it.
So this is my $35.00 lever gun.You can bet your a$$ we worked hard + late that after noon.I did find lots of good stuff in those old houses and sold lots of reclaimed lumber,windows and doors.Still using materials from it today.

A great story. I sure would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Johnny got his gun.
