Win 94 BB question

[JFE]

Were any 94 BB's in 356 & 307 cals produced in non-safety equipped rifles ?

If you are referring to the big safety button on the side of the receiver, then yes. The early models did not have this feature.

Everything before 1992 did not have a safety. So, you have almost 10 years worth of 307 and 356's....1983-92 without the feature. I ordered my Big Bore that year and nearly fainted when I saw the Frankenstien bolt. But, it can be overcome, as can the rebounding hammer.

The second rifle from the top - the scoped one just below the Cold Steel Bowie - is a pre-safety .356 BB94AE.

Thanks but I'd prefer to locate one in Oz. They are around and do come up every now and again.

I have to say to me those high comb stocks do look out of character on a levergun.

They do, but they line up well with a scope.

was the 444 ever available with out the safty

[Pete44ru]

I had, in 1999, a .444 Timber Carbine, after I had a .444 94BB Carbine in 1998 (which IIRC was Winchester's 1st .444).

I know the Timber Carbine had the crossbolt - but I can't remember for sure if the 94BB Carbine did or not.
I think it did.

Maybe someone here kept the timelines for such at Winchester. Millerski ?

Possibly, though I've never seen one. IIRC the 94 was chambered in 444 in the mid 80s and the crossbolt was added in the early 90s.

[C. Cash]

My recollection is that the 444 was introduced mid-90's, and was the last of the caliber offerings. It came after the addition of the CB safety in 92......99.9% positive of that. So I would say no....no non-CB 444's in the classic slab sided bb94. But, my brain ain't what it used to be so take it for what it's worth.....
