Stainless Steel Winchester 94 Receiver
So, do any of you others doubt this?
Stainless Steel Winchester 94 Receiver. I know there were stainless steel barrels used, but receiver. I've never heard this one.

Actually there were some stainless 94s made, not very many. They were shown at some kind of convention or anniversary, something like that. That's all I recall for now but if I stumble on the photo on one of the backup drives I'll post it.
They didn't look like the one at gunbroker, they had stainless barrels and mags, and I 'think', IIRC, that they had black composit stocks. Pretty stunning really..,

Magnet
Magnet might tell all, unless its a low grade stainless. Reminds me I want to check my Stainless Rossi this way.
Re: Magnet
Every stainless gun I've owned has been magnetic. Non-magnetic stainless is generally the sort of stuff you'll find on appliances.jimmel wrote:Magnet might tell all, unless its a low grade stainless. Reminds me I want to check my Stainless Rossi this way.

The austenitic stainless alloys (300 series) are non-magnetic. The martensitic alloys (400 series) are the ones that ARE magnetic. The 400's are probably used in firearms for their strength. The 300's have better corrosion resistance at the expense of some strength ... hence their use more for cookware, etc.
I thought this knowledge was less than useful until I started TIG welding as a hobby.
