Win94 Eye Candy - Warning, get the napkins, VERY HIGH
DROOL FACTOR!!!
My BIL attended an auction in 2007 and saved the catalogs for me... yep that's right catalog...s! Plural... lots of stuff including this example:
Listed in The Winchester Book, by Madis it is reputed the ONLY factory Winchester 94 made with four interchangeable barrels.
That hand written number in the upper picture was the winning bid during the auction.

Griff,
Now THAT would be SO COOL!! I'd shoot silhouette with one barrel then the next match with another barrel!!!
I love the rifle version of the 1894 a lot better than the carbine versions for some reason. You are absolutely correct in the drool factor warning for this set, even for us Marlin guys!!!

Re: Win94 Eye Candy - Warning, get the napkins, VERY HIGH
Now that is very very nice! What more could a Winchester 94 fan want, a 38-55 and 30-30 in the same 94 WOW!
A man can never have too many WINCHESTERS...
Re: Win94 Eye Candy - Warning, get the napkins, VERY HIGH
I dunno. Owning that rig would require making too many decisions . . .

Wow. To bad we don't have manufacturers doing stuff like that now.

Re: Win94 Eye Candy - Warning, get the napkins, VERY HIGH
WOW, 38-55 and 30-30, full tube, short tube. VERY NICE. What other calibers could it have been made in with out having any other changes except the barrel. I understand the pistol cartidges would not work well, but what others could use the same action/innards as this rifle??? Was just thinking If I had four barrels, I would go for different calibers before repeating them with different configs but I certainly see the beauty of the choices he had with this set up. Just wondering
as a side note, I wonder if WWG could do a longer barrel/mag for my co-pilot and give me a two barrel set in 457 mag/45-70?

Has anybody seen a factory carbine 94 takedown? Griff, your right it brings a tear to my eye, but envy is not good for you so I wish him all the luck.

Re: Win94 Eye Candy - Warning, get the napkins, VERY HIGH
$75000 for this set. Wow.
Seriously, I don't ever want a rifle or set that costs that much. I counldn't bring myself to take it out to shoot.
Perhaps the owner has so much money that $75K is peanuts...
And I agree about the chamberings - I'd want four different chamberings - add 25-35 in place of one of the 30-30's and maybe 32-40 or 32 Special in place of one of the 38-55's.

Re: Win94 Eye Candy - Warning, get the napkins, VERY HIGH
I once won a consequetive serial numbered pair of SAAs in .44-40 w/5-½" barrels in an oak & glass case; fully engraved, silver plated except the BS, triggerguard, basepin & ejector rod housing, which were all 18k gold plated. Ruined with poly-ivory grips... but whaddya want for a $5 raffle ticket! Still, I never shot them and after collecting dust in my safe for two years I converted then into a complete CAS outfit for my son. In fact I never even cocked them, who knows, they mighta had serious timing issues!
My dream Win94 would be a RD w/barrels in .25-35, .30WCF, .32-40 & .38-55, maybe even throw on a 32WinSpl. During their early production different guides were used except for .30WCF & .38-55, but IIRC this changed in the '30's.

Turnbull will make a Winchester take-down conversion. See below link:
http://www.turnbullrestoration.com/store.asp?pid=20414
If Turnbull wants approx. US $800.00 just for the conversion work & you add in the cost of the rifle, plus another barrel(s), fore ends, sights, etc., it could add up fast. & most Shooters aren’t willing to pay, or can’t justify paying, or simply will not or can not “pay the freight” for a takedown....
& this is probably the same reason(s) why Winchester, Marlin, etc., do not make take down models.
For those not In-The-Know ‘bout Turnbull:

None were ever factory made. I have seen a few custom ones over the years.------Sixgun
