Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
Looks very interesting!!
Has anyone here ever used a 94 modified this way? If so, how was accuracy, durability, etc?
Thanks,
John

mescalero, If you do the first one you might get a bunch of request for more. I have one to build too.

Major project, but if someone does it I hope they are as good with their camera as they are their metalworking tools. And post a 'shop report'...

Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
I’ve done a couple, one was a two barrel set that I did for myself. Not all that hard; I would say that a lathe is a must have tool for this project though. A lathe, milling machine and band saw would be real plusses. Not crazy about the little button to retain the mag tube. One of these days …when I have time I convert mine to the Winchester style…screw in mag tube.
Have fun

I think so!
Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
Ok, how do I get a hold of this article? I didn't find anything like that on the NRA Publications website.

Do you agree to post for me?
Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
Any member should be able to obtain a reprint of the article, after citing name/author (above), by calling NRA Member Services.
IIRC the article was also in an issue of AR, and as such should be archived - which is most likely how it got into the NRA Gunsmithing Guide.

Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
I have a copy here.
Do a search under my name, I think I may have posted the article on the site. If not, I will go through my e-mails, as I may have sent others copies.
Give me a while to check it out.

Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
I saw the results of one of those guns from that article a few years back. Looked real good as the owner told me a buddy of his did it some time back in the sixties.
Its over my head with my ability. I'd find it easier to saw a carbine in half with a band saw, then just glue her up with 5 minute epoxy every time I wanted to shoot it. ----------Sixgun

Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
SIXGUN,
5 min epoxy may work, but the 24 hour stuff is better.
Sorry guys I dont have it saved on my puter, and I dont have a scanner.

Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
I'm sorry to ressurect an ancient thread, but did anybody ever find a copy of this article any where? Or know which issue of American Rifleman it was in?
Thanks,

Re: How To: Convert Win 94 Carbine To Takedown
I have "The NRA Gunsmithing Guide - Updated" that has a copy of that article. I would think you can order the guide from NRA.
The problem I ran into with this conversion is that the location of the Winchester Serial number gets in the way when you level the receiver mating surface.
I been planing to try it on an old Marlin 30-30 or a Puma 92.

Same here; the potential host gun will be a Marlin 45-70. Looks like I'll be giving a holler to the NRA on Monday!salvo wrote:I have "The NRA Gunsmithing Guide - Updated" that has a copy of that article. I would think you can order the guide from NRA.
