FYI Stay away from the Win 1894 rifles in 45LC. That was the first one that I had when I started CAS. They would jam and a round would fall under the elevator. I knew several people that had them break. I think that is was because the '94 was never designed for 45LC. In fact I would not buy a lever rifle in .45LC since none of them were designed originally for them. I would suggest a Marlin Cowboy, Win 66, Win 73, Win 92 or Henry (Clones included)for pistol caliber rifles. the 1894 Win was desined for the 30-30 and that works well but you cannot use in in regular CAS matches since it is a rifle cartridge. I have a Rossi 92 clone an old Winchester 73 and a old Winchester 92 and they all wok fine but the Rossi 92 are very stiff at first and need to be slicked up.
