I wish Jerry Lester was still around, he'd have volumes to say about this subject!

Glad I've got a Mazda/Ford B3000/Ranger long bed (7 footer) with cab height camper shell!

BTW, camper shell is a Leer with liner.

Thanks, guys. To clarify a bit, the united States is definatly worth fighting for, and I would give my life to defend this land, heck, I'd even stand watch on the borders with my 03-A3, BUT I will not fight for some banksters or whoever owns the paper on this United States!

Off soap box!

1894cfan

This may not be saying much, it may even get me dumped on, but this time around I just got to say it! The U.S. Government is not worthy of the troops that fight on its behalf!!!!

I'd STILL like to find out when my -Model 94-30W.C.F.- S/N 1333XXX was made!

1894cfan

If they based it on "The EARL" I MIGHT be interested.

1894cfan

I concur, GREAT READ!!! Keep 'em coming!!

1894cfan

Me, too, please.

1894cfan

I've also got a couple '94s, a '77 with a scout scope setup and a 1941 vintage that's still as tight as it came from the factory with only cosmetic problems, ie. worn blueing. Near as I can tell, the '41 is still all original.

1894cfan

Sorry for no pics. When I got it, there was no barrel mounted rear sight with a dove tail blank installed on the barrel "band', and had a Lyman 57 w receiver sight. The bottom edge of the 57w windage screw had been flattened off so the elevation could be lowered enough to hit the target at 100 ...

I've got a 1941 Pre '64 Win M70 chamber for .30 Gov't /06 that looks like the bolt sleeve and safety were swaped out. What did the original look like? I've got a striker that came with it that looks like something off an 03-A3 but is just about the right length for the M70. Can anybody here give me ...

1894cfan

Good for you guys!
The sad thing is that I likely will never see something like that in the State of Kalifornia.

1894cfan

Thanks LOTS for the info, guys. I've passed it on, I think my brother will send pics and info to G&H for some info on it. If it does fit 03-A3's, I just might buy it from him for mine.

1894cfan

My brother picked one of these up at a local gun show and asked me what I could find out about it, so far haven't found much. It's has a date of Oct. '31 on it and looks like it was made for side mount on Lever guns. Anybody here know anything about it? TIA

1894cfan

Hobie, come to think of it, I think the barrel IS 26", it's never been cut.

1894cfan

Re-barrelled, reblued Win 94 in 32spl with 24" octegon barrel made in 1905. Hasn't been shot much since re-barrelling, action still rather tight with little setback. Wood still in very good condition. Sorry about no pix, brother has it in another state. TIA

1894cfan

And to think I spent $750 for a pre-WW2 94 in good condition that was carried more than it was shot. Insides was fuzzy with dust and such.

1894cfan

I just had a thought, suppose somebody broke INTO the cabin, that first step could get kinda nasty with a bear trap in the right place.

1894cfan

I don't know what Hanks said and I don' get HBO, but then I don't really need to or care, just picked up all three books that the series is based on at Costco for 10 bucks each. I'd rather sit down with a good book than waste my time watching the boob tube!!

1894cfan

Like others, and you, have mentioned, the easiest thing to do is just shoot the 500 hundred up. The alternative is to pull them, I've got both an RCBS bullet puller and an inertia puller, by far the fastest, and easiest, is the RCBS puller, even if you have to really crank down on the collet, the bu...

I seem to be a bit backwards from you guys. I'm nearing 55 and my vision seems to be improving. I'm near sighted, but my distance vision is improving as I get older. However, my ability to focus is near shot but can see clearly from 8 to 12 inches without glasses and shoot with distance glasses from...

Lyman corn cob media. 6-8 hrs of that will clean just about anything. HTH

KCSO, sent you a PM, thanks

1894cfan

I once cleaned what I thought was rust, from under the buttplate of a Mauser I bought (about 40 years ago). BUT , when the "rust" fell into a moist part of a sink I was working over, it turned the moisture blood red ! :shock: I often wondered: Just WHOSE blood was that ? :roll: The German...

1894cfan

Thanks for the info, Pete. The front sight isn't badly bent and is still useable, but the bent front sight just plain bugs me just to look at it through the rear sight. Just a bit of history on it as far as I know it, It was made about sometime in '41 or '42 before Winchester shut the line down for ...

1894cfan

Just picked up a Win. 94 chambered in 30WCF made in 1941, and the front sight is a bit bent. Anybody here know where I might find a replacement front sight blade for it? TIA P.S. Also need advice on removing hammer spring, durn screw is so tight it bent one screwdriver bit and bent another. Managed ...

1894cfan

You know, sometimes I think Winchester should have supplied '94s with stacking swivels, you know like on '03/A3s.

1894cfan

I'm close to yours, mine has a Williams 5D and a XS Scout mount with a Leupold 2X EER pistol scope on it.

Hornady .308 86gr JSP over 9.0gr Trail Boss at about 1500fps shoots real good out of my '77 Win94.

1894cfan

9.0gr Trail Boss with Hornady 86gr JSP. For 150/170gr either BLC-2, 748 or IMR3031, in that order. HTH

Sorry to rain on your parade, but don't forget a .410 shell. Winchester made a M9410 from 2001 to 2006.

1894cfan

How do you make sure you keep the lower ball at the correct depth? I have a few boxes of old Remington Multiball in .38 and .357, and although I don't shoot it much, it is fun to play with sometimes and it would be handy to be able to duplicate them.

Thanks, AJ. Actually I did get both, just wanted to know which was the better choice for a '43/'48 Winchester 94. Looks like I'll try both.

Which Marbles bullseye sight do I need for a Winchester 94, short or long?

TIA,

Surprisingly, moon clips are easy to use. I had a S&W Model 625 in .45ACP some years ago and used full moon clips in it. In a large Speed Loader case, I could carry 4 full moon clips loaded with 6-rounds of .45ACP ea. That gave me a total 30-rounds at hand (6 in the gun, 24 in the case). Got ri...

If you remove the forearm and mag tube, you will find a number stamped on the flat of the barrel. That will at least tell you the barrel age and get you closer to year of manufacture. I'm kind of leary of taking the forearm and mag tube off, I've heard it might be rather difficult to get them back ...

1894cfan

Thanks, guys. I guess I'll just have to settle for sometime in the '40s, then. Oh, well. BTW, It's in really good shape with a couple worn blueing marks on the barrel from being stored in a couple different gun racks, and a fair amount worn off the receiver from being carried. Doesn't look like it's...

1894cfan

Just picked up a Winchester 94, SN #1333***, which I just ran through the Win. Serial Number site, and came up with Manufacture date of 1943 through 1948.

I was told it was made in 1941.
Can anybody here help me narrow it down a bit?
TIA,

I've been using a load of 9.0gr TB with Hornady 86gr JSP in my Winchester 30/30 for a few months now with pretty good results out to 50yds so far. Haven't tried it out to 100yds yet.

1894cfan

I've got two 39a's, one was born in 1948 and the other in 1977.

1894cfan

My Grandfather had a pre-64 M70 made in 1941, barrel marked .30 Government 06, that likely came from the factory with the steel butt plate. I don't blame him one little bit for swapping that for one of those butt pads you mentioned. I wouldn't want to shoot a 180gr factory load out of an '06 with a ...

1894cfan

I use 9.0gr Trail boss with the Hornady 86gr JSP made for 30 Mauser pistols. It's good out to at least 50yds and ought to be useful for game up to dog size. HTH
