Looks like the lever action off a toy rifle to me.

Do you have a gibberish button on your phone?

I have one of those levers from what ever type of small rifle also. Almost identical to yours. 014.JPG When I was a kid we had a small lever action 22 rifle, can't remember the marker but it was a cool little 22. I'm no gun expert.

Oh that! That was Lucas McCain's old lever. He must've thrown it away when he modified his rifle. ;)

I don't think anyone meant any ill will, Is there any kind of markings on the lever. Just from memory it looks like a lever from a Daisy air rifle I had as a kid. Goggle them and see if you can find owner manuals, might be helpful. I would take it to a gunsmith and I would bet they would love to help you ID it. Wouldn't surprise me if they would know just by looking at it. I'm sure none of them would charge you to take a look at it.

I'm sure also the other guys on the thread were just trying to make you laugh, not busting your chops.

Relax, I was only saying its I have found what appears to be the exact same lever. Also I wanted to point out that there are small 22 rifles out there. Maybe that's the type of rifle yours or mine came from? Its was just a thought. The way interpreted Wadifinds comment other then a little sarcasm is that possible these rifles were modified. Thus they no long needed the lever. I doubt that's the case but people did modify lever action rifles. Post the lever under "What is it" if it that important to you in finding out what type of rifle it is from. Toy, Pellet gun, or actual firearm.

I don't think whadifind was trying to make fun. I think it's just a lighthearted attitude here. Actually, it was nice to see I'm not the only one here old enough to remember Lucas McCain. I loved that show. By the way, nice find and I think it may be off an old 22. It looks to heavy duty to be a toy.

Both of the levers look do look exactly identical. I have never looked into Iding mine. I am really getting curious seeing as we might be able to "kill two birds with one stone" One thing I will do is take mine to a local gun shop tomorrow (if they are open) and see what they say about it. Just a suggestion. If you want try and get some measurements on yours and we should be able to tell (I would think) if ours are from the same rifle. Personally I think mine is a bit heavy for a pellet gun, that's what made me think 22. Also too small for something larger like a Marlin 30-30 or Henry. Again I am no expert. I will post back with my findings. Hope this will help ya out some.

Congrats on getting out and making finds! Some of us can't. Sounds about right that a lever off a rifle would be a little heavier than one from an air rifle etc. GL ID'ing

Hay Diver sopped by and talked with gun smith today and showed him the lever I have and he said it is from a firearm not a pellet gun. He also said it could of come from a larger cal. then 22. That's about all he could tell me. Assuming the one you found is the same as mine. Cool find, hope that helps some.
