A good investment for any 94 accumulator. I'll consider that book, its not as expensive as I ...

I also had someone offer me a basically mint post 64 20" barrel, will this fit alright into my pre war receiver? I can't imagine the receiver to barrel mating would hVe changed a whole lot but I dont know enough.

Shoulda guessed that one lol. I do like the idea of a short 94, maybe even make up a shortened magazine tube for it for accuracy purposes.

If it were me and I just wanted a temporary shooter ,I would grab that $70. 16 1/4" GB barrel .Make and add the post sight ,get a repo mag tube for trapper and build a correct looking trapper carbine. Keep your full length tube for the replacement barrel later. I'm new to 94 terminology, GB ba...

Probably not be an issue other than appearance , easy to run thread file over start of shank. Something else I would also consider is to buy a high quality pre 64 ramp style barrel . The SRC post front sight can be made from the ramp.As the ramp is part of the barrel forging on earlier barrels. Rec...

Buying a quick replacement barrel isnt too much of a cash expenditure for me, I have one droopy pre 30s barrel, the one on my gun right now (which honestly for casual plinking I wouldn't be concerned about using, I'm just paranoid about using it for something that actually matters) and between the t...

There is one on eBay that has what sounds like a lot better bore than yours and is proper late style nickel steel SRC barrel with post. It does have a few tool marks on outside. $125 with shipping start bid two days left. Might be an option. 294568978356 I did see that one, do you think the effed u...

I'll drop him a line, thanks!

Honestly if you have a rifle configuration the rebore is the best and most economical way to go. JES has a very good national reputation. You rifle would look the same except having a shiny new bore and a new chambering marking of course. If you have a carbine a replacement will work. Changing a ri...

Carbine barrels are out there pretty common, relining a 94 is a no go . Relining is really only meant for pistol type low pressure or black powder rounds. Carbine cannot be relined any way because liner od is larger than barrel od. Green mountain makes tapered carbine and rifle style barrels but re...

I'm not too hot on the idea of reboring it, I really like the 30-30. If I was to do this though 32 would be my choice, but if it would cause structural issues than it's a no go for me. I don't plan to do a whole lot of range toy use, I want to make this more of a short range hunting rifle. Plus, I'm...

I've recently rebuilding a 1920s era winchester 94, and I would like to replace the barrel on it as the one I had got for it is in really rough shape, with a pretty pitted/worn rifling, messy chamber, etc. Is there any options other than just trying to find a cast off barrel?
