That'd be a good candidate to make a take-down.
Too much bucks for not enough bang.
16-1/2 " Truck Gun, most likely.................It may be Open Season on trucks fairly soon.

The .35 Remington is also known as the 9mm Don Gonzalo.
The first batch of this cartridge manufactured in Spain was in 1945 commissioned by General Don Gonzalo Queipo de Llano. In Spain these cartridges were called "9 mm D. Gonzalo de montería". They were made from 7.92x57 and 7.62x51 pods. DATA: ACME .`
Gonzalo Queipo de Llano y Sierra (1875-1951) was one of the 4 originators (Franco amongst them) of the military coup which did not succeed and gave way to the spanish civil war of 1936-1939. He commanded the southern operations army during the war and was sometimes referred to as the “Vice King of Andalusia”. After the war only he and Franco were left and his star started to decline.

At least he paired it down to two,
just like El Guapo.
Guns of Mexico’s Freedom Fighters
During Mexico’s 1910 Revolution, rebel forces fought with muzzle-loaders, lever-action and bolt-action repeaters—even machine guns.

My old Marlin 39a in .22lr and my Chiappa 1892 in .357mag/.38sp. Both are as slick as stepping on cat shit on a tile floor bare footed in the morning and both have put meat in the pot but a warning,...... don't hunt squirrels with the '92, go get yer' .22 , 'cause all you can find is their tail and maybe a foot or two still gripping the branch when you smack them with a .357 hollowpoint. 
Thanks for the interesting history Story. And that's a handsome pair of rifles jinx, well done sir.
Lever action rifles that could use a scope are those that are up to 125 yard deer killing guns.
125 yards seem like nothing to my Garands and 03's, but I am not harvesting meat.
A 38-55, 44 mag and 357 lever guns need to hit the boiler room at that yardage with good bullets.
Paco Kelley has a lot to say about lever gun loads in 45 Colt, too.
The new Henry line, the Marlins and new Winchesters mount scopes just fine.
I don't use a scope on my 45-60 or 45-70, but hitting the gong at 100 yards, it is pretty fuzzy and as long as it goes "boing", I am happy.
I got rid of a Win '94 in 45 Colt a while back. another dumb move.

Rossi lever action's in .357 and 22LR, couldn't find any used winchesters, ain't paying $1500+, so I got Rossi .357 $750 and $300 for the .22, Both will last longer than me. My Uberti 1873 cattleman's .357 with 4 " bbl and birds head grip, looks just right with em. Yea ha!
I bought this refinished pile of sadness Thursday.
1950 waffle top 336A in 35 Remington.
It will be modified much further and pressed into service.
............
I say you get you a couple slabs of UTG picatinny rail, and dremel a bunch of notches into the bottom of the slabs to for JB-Weld to grab onto. Slap them on top of that waffle and drill-hole fuckery. Then get ya some See-Thru's and a Nikon 3x9. That will be the cat's ass!
I'm actually intrigued.
That's gay.
And the first time somebody shoots up a shopping mall with one, the dims will want to ban that (and the 5-round magazines you will be allowed) too.
I shot a squirrel once with my 30-30.
Probably shouldn't have taken the shot.
Half of him was hanging out of a knot-hole in a tree.
I only got the front half. Not much meat on just the front half of a squirrel.

Marlin 1894 and a 39A that was a gift from my Dad when I was 13. Been on the hunt for a vintage Winchester 94 and a Savage 99. Takedowns would be a bonus. A lever action forum might be fun!

I have a 70's vintage Marlin in 45-70. It has the hard rubber or plastic butt plate and it is not very friendly.
zeroing it 2 years ago with 325 grain leveevolution ammo tore something in my shoulder.
I hate the f'ing thing. The weight of the added telescope helps. As does adding two dead mule recoil reducers inside the stock.

I just put down a book I'm reading on the Spanish American War. A new recruit wrote home how a single shot from a 45-70 "properly directed " could knock down two men. One the man it was aimed at and the other the man who fired it.

I fired some of the old trap door level 405 grain loads and it was a pussycat. 19th century design does not take well to modern high energy ammo.
It's going to the marketplace or over the fireplace after I kill a deer with it.
