Why are lever guns so popular all of a sudden? Maybe it’s because more and more Americans are living in restrictive states which drastically curtail the right to keep and bear some sort of arms. Or maybe it’s because of recent popular TV shows which show off lever-action guns left, right and center. To be honest, we think it’s because they’re outrageously fun to shoot. Whatever the reason is, there’s never been a better time to own a lever-action firearm.
