I picked up Winchester '94 .357 magnum in like new condition and the lever/bolt has a tendency to open at the slightest jar. None of my other '94's do this and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to tighten up the action. As previously mentioned, the rifle is in like new condition with ver...

Here's the deal: One gun shop has a Marlin 94 with a cheaper Busnell 3 x 9 scope for $625.00 and another shop has a Winchester 94 AE, tang safety with saddle ring model in new condition for $450.00. My main intent is to shoot .38 Specials loaded with a 150 gr. LSWC bullet and was wondering which rif...

I went to a small gunshow today and ended buying a like-new Winchester 94AE, 16" barrel, large loop lever saddle ring carbine s/n 6,038,2XX for $475.00. I just got back from the range and it's a real sweatheart to shoot. 250 grain Keith type bullets were going into a 1-1/2" circle at 50 ya...

Why did W-W shorten up the 38-55 brass to 2.082" from the original length of 2.125"? I'm using the longer Starline brass in my new Winchester Legacy and have been very pleased with results, but now I'm curious as to what length I should be using. I have some of the shorter W-W brass but it...

Here are some pics of the my old 38-55 '94 takedown that I posted about earlier. Hopefully they come through. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j305/bug55614/38-55/38-551.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j305/bug55614/38-55/38-552.jpg http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j305/bug55614/38-55/38-553...

Years ago, I inherited my father's model 94 38-55, (this is the rifle that started my renewed interest in lever guns), and would like to know how common it is. The serial number is #85757 and sports a half octagon, half round barrel with a full length magazine. It is also a take-down model. In all m...

All I can say is, "Wow". Lyman 249 grain bullets sized to bore diameter with 16 grains of 2400 produced some pretty impressive groups at 100 yards. 3 shot groups were averaging 1-1/2". I used 2.125" Starline brass and a Lyman #375248 sized to .379", (the Winchester brass was...

Hello all. I've recently been bitten by the lever gun bug and I just purchased a NIB Winchester 94 Legacy in 38-55 w/octogon barrel and tang sight for $1080.00 out the door, (hopefully, this wasn' too much). In order to keep costs down I intend to cast for this caliber. I'm an experienced bullet cas...
