Re: Anyone ever see chrome barrel bands on a model 94?

IIRC, Cody can only "letter" a Winchester mdl 94 up to about serial number 38X,XXX. Now, i've never SEEN an old Winchester 94 with either nickel plated bands unless the entire gun was done so. And nickel plating wears at just a slower rate than bluing.... given the state of that bluing, I...

Re: Anyone ever see chrome barrel bands on a model 94?

Maybe a "special-order" piece...? Get a letter on that puppy, before you make any drastic changes, Pard. Hmmm... does winchester do this? I can't find anything on their site, I see the cody firearms museum offers a service like this for a $60 fee. The Cody Firearms Museum is THE official ...

Re: Anyone ever see chrome barrel bands on a model 94?

I HAVE SEEN SUCH A THING BUT THEY WERE NICKLE, NOT CHROME. Ok, that sounds more likely, it is shiny, but I honestly don't know the material used. If they are nickel then I would be able to use perma blue or some similar product on them right? It does say 'nickel steel' on the barrel, was any other ...

Anyone ever see chrome barrel bands on a model 94?

Ok, I have an old model 94, and for some unknown reason it has what appear to be 'chrome' barrel bands. It is not ideal for hunting, and also looks incredibly out of place on this gun. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_qC2VCa0xe-U/SAdQ5rizlPI/AAAAAAAABEw/B5gQ4Wc9uV8/s640/94.jpg Pete44ru was nice enough to send ...

Does anybody sell a simple butt stock cover for my model 94?

Ok, I know that Levergun Leatherworks makes beautiful stuff that would fit my need, but he is taking orders for Oct. 17th, and I need something before hunting trip in mid October. All I need a simple leather butt stock cover that will tie in place with laces. I need to attach a sling for my trip, bu...

Oh no, you're probably too late! Report back if you still manage to get this gun. I've been surprised on occasion on the deals you can find at Gander on the used shelf. It goes without saying that the majority of their stuff is over priced, but I wander the store often just in case I run into one of...
