Bill, what area of N. IL are you in?
If you are not too far away (Kankakee Co) I can keep my eyes open for something that might work for you.
Although the only lever I have found recently at a cheap price was a black tactical thing.
Not my cup of tea, even if most of my guns are black and plastic.
A lever action should look like a cowboy gun, for me at least.
And keep an eye out on Armslist, you may find a local deal on there, it can happen.
