.22 Mag in a lever action?

Does anybody besides Henry make a .22 Mag in a lever action?
An empty weapon is just a very expensive hammer.

Marlin 1894m, made for a few years in the 1980s... :P

but Henry is the most commonly available "current" one.
Not your question, but Mossberg has recently come out
with a "Marlin/Win"-like Lever .30-30 and .22 (no wmr).
that I understand they usta' make many years before I
out-grew my short-pants...

22 Mag Lever Action Rifle

I am partial to the Ruger 96/22M. It has a 9+1 capacity and best of all is a Ruger :)

You can always check out Gallery of Guns to see what is in current production and they also carry many specials or commemoratives that can be hard to locate elsewhere.

Thanks. Strictly from an availability standpoint, it looks like a Henry is my only real option. Not that that's a bad thing...

Nothing wrong with Henrys.

After I dremeled out a small ramp in the chamber of my little AR-7, it functions flawlessly. That Henry will be with me for a long, long time.
