I think I can see the proportion and layout differences that I tried to describe, but try as I might, I can not see the rolling breech block or a space that it would occupy. Basically, all Bullards show a distictive pretty symmetrical semi circle appearance that's formed by roughly half the rolling block contour and half the hammer contour.

On my screen, only the hammer shows and it seems to seat fully into the back of the receiver. No arguement from me, only a friendly discussion about the topic. There aren't many around, but they always seem to say quality, at least the ones I've seen. Good luck tracking one down.

I see where you are going. There is a fair bit of shadow in that photo, but you have a good point.

Still, I think it is even less likely to be a Marlin, Winchester, or Whitney. Ithaca made a small bore lever, but I am not aware of a large frame. Not a Savage or any Browning that I've ever seen. What lever rifle makers are we leaving out?

Based on the configuration of the forend w/ bbl band, button magazine & the front sight I think that rifle is a special order 1894.

I have a picture of a special order 1894 SRC that has the exact same style forend w/bbl band, button mag & sight configuration.

Also, both have the same relatively thin bbl & the slim, open pistol grip on the rifle in question looks like what is often seen on special order 1894 rifles.

Im not set up to post pictures but if someone who can will pm me I'll email the picture to you.

It's not a takedown, as the carbine forearm wont work as a takedown. It looks like it's a deluxe carbine since it's a checkered pistol grip stock with shotgun style buttplate. It looks like a 1894 Winchester to me.

Picture of 1894 SRC/w button mag & forearm band sent to Brent.

I'm thinking the button mag w/ bbl band forend instead of the metal capped forend must have been an option offered by Winchester.

I think the w1894 people are winning frown Still doesn't look right proportionally, at least to me, and I don't understand that screw or whatever in the left side of the forearm. then again, nothing except a hardware store repairman explains that.

I think the proportions are off because the fellow might be a pretty small guy. One of the first things I noticed was his boot tie downs at his ankles, the right one seems to snug down on a pretty skinny looking leg. The screw sits low in the forearm and probably clears the magazine tube. It may just be a repair.

Back to proportions, I'd figure a coyote is a coyote more or less. Those pelts look wolf sized on that horse, probably some sort of pony, and if they were held up next to that guy or the rifle. I think smaller hands are holding the rifle.

Based on the pencil contour barrel, front sight and forend cap, I'm going to revise my guess just a bit to a Win. model 92 special order SRC. If they fit the rifle, those might be 32-20 shells in the belt loops, because I think 25-20's would look a tad more bottle necked.

edit to add, that building behind him to the left of the picture looks a little different, dormitory like. I wonder he's an Amish or similar kid, and his clothes have a little to do with what might be seen in that sort of community.

I thought they were wolf pelts, too. I doubt that the photo's description on that web-site means anything.
