Re: Newb needs help with Pre 64 '94

To both Joe and Griff a large thanks you. I would be very appreciative if you could measure up the frame opening and the link. That should give me a great baseline to work from. How hard is it to find a finger lever a link and the other required pieces? As I mentioned above, if new parts are necessa...

Re: Newb needs help with Pre 64 '94

Here are the only two pictures I could get before the flash decided to give up. What I was trying to show was the amount the finger lever moves, basically from one side of the tang to the other. I was also trying to show the shape of the forward part of the link, but it is not real evident. http://i...

Re: Newb needs help with Pre 64 '94

I will do my best to get you pictures. My camera does not do closeups well or maybe I just can't get it to work correctly. Something else I noticed after my last reply. Based on your pictures my rifle has the short cartridge guides. Yours end near the end of the carrier. My guides end near the rear ...

Newb needs help with Pre 64 '94

Howdy. I recently came into a '94 manufactured in 1962. Not being a Winchester afficianado I found this place and am hoping someone can send me in the correct direction.

Re: First Year marlin 1895 "2nd Issue"

Last year, at least I think it was last year, I traded an little used pistol to a very nice fellow for my 1895. When it arrived I discovered it was made in 1972, serial nr. B003xxx. It still had the factory stickers on the stock and butt plate. I believe it is unfired. The wood is pretty nice also. ...
