Re: Can a canted barrel on a Model 94 be fixed???

Yup. I am sure. The groups were moving to the right, towards center of target, but I ran out of windage with the groups still too far LEFT of center. I took the rings and bases off a few times and put them back on, thinking each time that they must be on kind of funny, but each time I got the same r...

Re: Can a canted barrel on a Model 94 be fixed???

Well, you guys are going to hate me, but the way I figured out something was wrong is that I tried to mount a scope. The scope seemed to point to the left, but the weird thing is that i ran out of windage with the groups too far to the LEFT. The more I look at this thing, the more I am wondering if ...

Can a canted barrel on a Model 94 be fixed???

I bought a Winchester model 94AE, 30-30, and noticed that the barrel is canted to the right (clockwise rotation, as you look down the barrel through the iron sights.) The rear site is thus rotated a bit, so that the left edge is higher than the right edge. Is this something that a gunsmith could fix...
