Looks very nice, and quite a few available locally. I like the various calibre options as well.

Thanks Wombat. I can't find any details on their disassembly, are they basic design where you can just remove the barrel or more involved to get them apart?

Chiappa do a copy, although I can't speak for the quality or accuracy. I've seen some of there other lever guns that have "issues".


That looks like a great option, and I'm a huge sucker for a lever action! I've got a Winchester lever action 30-30 that my dad gave me when I was a kid, man I LOVE that gun. So far this is my favourite option due to sentimental reasons :)

A single captive screw and they take down like the Marlins.Takes about five seconds. Pump action, tube magazine and reasonably accurate.

Such a pity we can't have semi 22lr. I used to have a marlin papoose which was a great option for what you want. Sadly not an option any more

My apologies sports, I f*cked up with the dimensions on the 39A. Have a look at the photos below.

As you can see, 24" barrel + 3" of action, not exactly compact but still a good option. ( IMHO ) :thumbsup:

What about a combo rifle/shotgun?

Also looks promising, but it seems there aren't many around any more.


Mine is 550mm long but quite compact.
Shoots quite well despite the atrocious sights.

Thanks very much for taking to time with the photos, I really appreciate it. That's a fine looking gun, a little longer than I would like, but if I could find a gun case that is a perfect matching size it may be do-able.

Yep, that's definitely an option. First shot with the 22, if I miss I have a second chance, but may be dodging a little more lead over dinner :)

What you want is a Bsa Model 2 folding pocket rifle- http://www.rifleman.org.uk/BSA_Model_2.html

Good luck finding one though, I've never seen one here.....
