About Us
About Us – Welcome to MyLeverGuns
At MyLeverGuns, we’re more than just a website — we’re a thriving community built by and for people who share a deep passion for lever action rifles and the lifestyle that comes with them. Whether you’re a hunter tracking game in the early dawn, a professional shooter perfecting your marksmanship, or an outdoor enthusiast who loves spending weekends off-grid with a trusted levergun by your side, you’ll find your place here with us.
Our Story
The idea for MyLeverGuns was born out of countless conversations among friends and fellow shooters who felt that lever action rifles deserved a dedicated online home. While there are plenty of general gun forums and hunting sites out there, none quite captured the unique spirit and history of leverguns — those iconic firearms that have played such a significant role in frontier history and modern sporting culture alike.
We decided to create a space where lever action rifle fans of all experience levels could gather to learn, share stories, trade advice, and celebrate the art of shooting these timeless guns. From classic models passed down through generations to cutting-edge custom builds, every lever action has a story, and we’re here to tell it.
What We Offer
Community Forums:
Our forums are the heart of MyLeverGuns. Here, you can ask questions, share tips, post photos of your rifles and hunting trips, and swap stories with other enthusiasts. Beginners will find patient, friendly advice, while seasoned shooters can dive into in-depth technical discussions about ballistics, optics, and fine-tuning their leverguns for peak performance.
Expert Articles & How-Tos:
We believe that knowledge should be shared freely. Our team and community contributors publish detailed guides covering everything from cleaning and maintenance to accuracy tips and DIY upgrades. If you’re restoring a family heirloom or tuning a modern hunting rig, you’ll find step-by-step help here.
Gear Reviews:
Choosing the right gear makes all the difference. Our honest reviews cover lever action rifles old and new, aftermarket parts, optics, ammo, and accessories that matter to real shooters. We don’t just parrot specs — we field test equipment in real-world conditions, whether on the range or deep in the backcountry.
Stories from the Wild:
Leverguns have always been part of adventures — from cowboy trails to modern hunting camps. We love sharing your stories! Many of our members contribute personal accounts of successful hunts, camping trips, and even family traditions centered around lever action shooting. These stories inspire new generations to respect the outdoors and shoot responsibly.
Resource Library:
Our growing library includes manuals, historical information, and ballistics charts for various calibers and rifle models. We believe in preserving the history and practical knowledge that keeps leverguns relevant for decades to come.
Our Community Values
At MyLeverGuns, respect, safety, and inclusivity are core principles. Firearms communities thrive when everyone feels welcome to ask questions and share knowledge. Whether you’re new to shooting or a seasoned marksman, your voice matters here. We encourage safe gun handling, responsible hunting ethics, and respect for wildlife and the environment.
We also value tradition. Lever action rifles connect us to the past, reminding us of an era when self-reliance, skill, and respect for the land were everyday virtues. Our members come from all walks of life — ranchers, hunters, competitive shooters, survivalists, and folks who just enjoy plinking cans on the weekend — but we’re united by an appreciation for craftsmanship and the simple joy of working a lever.
Who We Are
Our team includes hunters, professional shooters, gunsmiths, and outdoor lovers. Many of us grew up learning to shoot leverguns with parents or grandparents, and now we pass that knowledge to others. We believe in mentoring and building a safe, educated shooting community.
Our contributors write from firsthand experience — they live the levergun lifestyle. Some compete in cowboy action shooting, some guide hunts across North America, and some simply enjoy exploring the backcountry with a trusty .30-30 by their side. This diversity makes our content richer and more practical for everyone.
