Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
How many people knew that Winchester made a model 94 shotgun called the 9410?
I had no idea until I did a search on Auctionarms for Winchester 94 and they have one for sale.

I have owned 1 or 2 along the way. They are out there and they are not inexpensive. 1886.
Re: Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
That's true, this one was over $1000.
I don't think I want one, but how did they shoot?

They shot well enough. I viewed them more as a novelty. Just my opinion. 1886.

Could have had one for not much money several years back.
I couldn't envision a use for it so I passed.

The first time I saw a 9410 was also my first 'WTF?' moment regarding a production firearm. The dealer assured me it would sell like hotcakes and once people had shot one, 'everybody' would want it.
I protected myself from the zombie curse by not shooting one. Don't know how the rest of you got through this

Re: Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
They shoot ok. It has a weird feeling in the way it levers(at least the one I WAS SHOOTING DID) but it was pretty accurate and a hoot. My buddy who owns it and I were shooting from a mobile trap and I had a blackpowder SXS and Timmy had this 9410 and was whacking everything in sight. We were at a public range and a Dad was walking past with a 10ish year old and told the boy " that fella right there is a H&%$ of a shot he's shooting skeet with a rifle". I laughed and laughed. Pretty cool idea but I had no idea they had gone up that much. 2 1/2 inch shells only IIRC.I think Marlin makes one also. Tom

I have always wanted one but they are pricey for a .410
Re: Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
Got through it by buying one as soon as possable of course!Sarge wrote:I protected myself from the zombie curse by not shooting one. Don't know how the rest of you got through this
Got one when they first came out. Pretty accurate with slugs and lots of fun.....

Re: Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
I procrastinated and waited one week too long. A local shop had a new one--the "regular" long mag tube model which I liked, like a long carbine--for $450. A week later the New Haven plant closed and the price shot up to $650 and stayed there (and worse) and hasn't really come down a whole lot since. A friend has an earlier model that I almost bought from, but just couldn't abide the cross bolt. But, he's said the same thing -- a hoot to shoot.

Re: Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
I almost bought one when I was looking at buying my first gun. I was thinking "one gun for everything" and wanted a levergun. I figured I could shoot slugs for defense and shot for birds.
But I decided I wanted rifled-barrel accuracy and got a .357 Marlin. Glad I never got the .410 because as it turns out I do a lot more shooting than I anticipated and have never taken to shotguns.

I have one, and had a big fight with our firearms registry convincing them it was a shotgun and not a rifle.

I had one for a year or so. Only sold it because I needed the cash. It was a blast and murder on the red squirrels

Really wish I still had it.

Re: Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
It is a great fun gun that has real possibilities with slugs.
Re: Winchester 94 shotgun, Who knew?
Another example of a great answer to a question no one ever asked, but then I've never shot one either.

I understand you Rusty but I do see the potential for such a gun. A "smoothrifle" has many uses.
I allways remember when much younger I owned a converted 303brit Lee Enfield to .410 and the shot and slug made it very versatile. It was very good past 50yds with my home made slugs too.
