Re: Winchester Model 94

I have a Winchester Model 94 AE Trapper in 357 Magnum. I found it on gunbroker and got it for a thousand dollars. The seller said it was mint but when I received it the FFL, who was a gunsmith, said he was pretty sure it had never even been fired, apart from test firing. Even the loading gate area l...

1873 38 Special Ammo

My question, to anyone else who has one of these, or might know, is where are the parts? Winchester's web site has no information about Miroku 1873 parts, and I haven't found any o...
