No idea about the tube mag, but that looks like a sweet set-up. That being said, I like my '41 and '77 carbines just the way they are.

If that thing has a HARD rubber butt pad, I HIGHLY recommend getting a Pachmayer decelarator pad! I've got a regular 870 shotgun much like yours without the bells and whistles, and one of the FIRST things I did was replace the butt pad!! Enjoy, it's a good defensive weapon. P.S, try taking it out an...

"47.5 grains of 4895/ 150 grain spire bullet, GI cases and an overall length of 3.340 will duplicate the M2 ball load. You can use a little more powder, but why? 47.5 is correct for the rifle and it's sights. Killed lots of Germans and Japs with that load. Thanks for that, Charles. I asked tha...

That is exactly opposite of what I have encountered.[/quote]

IF I really need to hurt somebody, which I hope never happens, all I need to do is drag out the 1894c with 145 silvertips OR a 12guage with 00 buck or slug!! YMMV

1894cfan

In "J" frame sized revolvers that are marketed mostly for self defense, I'd suggest nothing more that 125gr .357, with 110 as optimal(sp?). Anything more is overkill recoil wise!!! From S-6 size and up, the skys the limit!! The J frames were made for 38/38+P loads. That being said, I've go...

From what I've read so far, I am NOT getting rid of my '77 and '41 94's!!!!!!!!!

1894cfan

Gee, things got a little blurry there for a bit.

1894cfan

Looks like your hand is healing up pretty good with no infection, bit concerned about the swelling though. Color looks good, so shouldn't be any problems.

1894cfan

Just checked Borders, not there yet!

1894cfan

MY favorites are a Grumman F3F-2 and NA P-51A. YMMV

Needless to say, the conservation department put a stop to it.

I live in a residential neighborhood, and can't abide neighbors letting their cats out to wander! Especially if said cats poop in my garden and use my plants as scratching posts.

1894cfan

I wouldn't do that without a parachute!!!!!!!!!!!

What fits in one rifle may not necessarily fit in another. Perhaps that is part of the reason why Ken mentioned that.

Dang, you guys make me look like a piker! I'm still using my first press (Single stage RCBS Reloader Special) that I bought way back in about 1980!

1894cfan

Neither, bring back the .222 rem. Mag.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH, what a minite, we got the .204 Ruger! Now I can get that brass for less.

1894cfan

Hornady .30cal 86gr JSP on top of 11.0gr Trail Boss works for me out to about 50yds. And it even has a cannelure!

HTH

The History channel had a CGI show that included the story of this bird. I think it came out about 3 years ago.

1894cfan, I'm not sure what the switch over date is but these plastic followers are one critical part that should never have been cheapened up. The factory will probably claim the colored part is a safety feature because it lets you see there is no rounds left in the magazine. I doubt it really wor...

1894cfan

After you guys going on so much about plastic followers, I just had to check my 1894c. Mines not plastic, it's blued steel! Came from the factory that way. If you want to do the checking, the S.N. is 10131xxx.

1894cfan

Gotta agree about the shape of stocks; I've got a '41 Win. 94 with a steel buttplate that I've been putting quite a few Win 150gr factory rounds through that really hasn't been bothering me all that much.

1894cfan

Yup, 1977 Marlin 39a! Wish I still had my first handgun, Ruger SuperSingle Six.

1894cfan

OK, I'll bite= Pre '80 Winchester 1894 with cast/machined carrier, Marlin 1894c, Marlin 39a, all pre-cross bolt safety!

1894cfan

Don't have much use for one, never said I didn't know how to use it!

Also, although they usually try to recover the arrow for 'study', or even for a part of the 'mount' with antlers or whatever, note that usually the arrow is about as reuseable as a shot bullet, after passing through game, and banging around. The shaft is probably bent or broken most of the time, an...

It's a Marlin 336, probably 30/30.

Actually, Obummers brain HAS been used, and therein lays the problem!!

1894cfan

That's one thing I like about the Speer manuals, they more often than not list reduced loads for most rifle loads.

1894cfan

Only one of my rifles has a scope on it. That's because the idiots at the factory did not put irons on it. Some day I'll get the irons put on it and on that day the scope may well end up in a box somewhere. Joe I hear ya on that one, Joe. I just picked up a used Rem. 700 in .222 Rem Mag that came w...

I know there are a bunch of aviation buffs here. Of course if you like mechanical things you like airplanes at least a little bit. Me being who I am, a really retro kinda guy, I liked the old planes. My favorites are the P-38 Lightning and the Grumman F3F . There is just something about them. Just ...

What AJMD429 said. I also recommend Massad Ayoob's "In the Gravest Extreme". He discusses a lot of issues that the armchair commandos miss, partly because he's been there and done that, and knows firsthand how the system works. He's seen what some of the pitfalls in the legal system are f...

Joe, thanks for the explanation on the carrier spring and extractor. I just checked the extractor, doesn't look like there's a burr, probably just a strong extractor spring. Since I'm not about to tear the riffle apart, I'm just going to live with it. Since I'm able to hit a coffee can filled with w...

One more comment; Winchester lever guns are not military style weapons. They are not designed to be disassembled even slightly for cleaning. Clean the bore then as the manual says, brush out the action and lightly oil it. You're done. I will add a couple warnings: The carrier screw(s) and the finge...

1894cfan

Got the instruction pamphlet for my '94 today, even it says to just clean out the barrel after shooting with an occasional brushing to clear the gunk out of the action.

1894cfan

GREAT!!!! Thanks for that bit of info, guys. And here I thought I needed to pull it all apart and clean it after every range trip.

Edited. Spoke hastily and as usual with less than desireable tact. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1894cfan -- I sent you a PM asking you to send me your e-mail address via a PM and I'll try to send the info to you that way.

I got a replacement fore-end for my 1894c that came with checkering that had been pressed that kinda looked like stuff, so since I already had a set of checkering tools for that LPI (16LPI FYI) I went ahead and did it myself. Looks way better than what came out of the shipping box. Checkering tools ...

I'm with you on the Win 94 30WCF, only I'd also pack a Ruger MKII short barrel for anything else. Oh, and also a pack rod for fishing.

1894cfan

Thanks, Pete, but I found one that was a bit closer to one I was looking for ('70's manual). Now to try and find one for the 1941 '94.

1894cfan

I've got 1941 and 1977 Win 94s and would like to find Owners Manuals for them, anybody here know where I might be able to find either orginals or copies? TIA

1894cfan

Round of applause for Henry!!!!!

NOT surprised at the (lack of) response from Remington.

1894cfan

Yup, it's a good thing firearms can't talk, else we'd be spending more time listening than shooting! :wink: You know listening to the stories some of these old rifles would tell wouldn't be a bad thing. After that then we could go and make new stories with them. Joe You got a point there, Joe. I've...

Sorry for the disapointment, guys, but I'm going to take you up on one of your suggestions, I'm going to grab some ammo and head to the range and wear it on that way. :mrgreen: The range I go to has a 40 and 100 yrd tin can range, looks like I need to save a bunch of cans and plastic bottles! :D It ...

I got a 1977 Win 94 that is slicker than snail snot, granted the tooling is wearing out a bit, but it still is a rather nice lever rifle. I also have a 1941 Win 94. I had it out to the range again today to run some test ammo through (18gr SR4759/Hornady 86gr JSP, more on this later). The only real n...

Just in case you are not aware, Berdan primers (which were designed in the U.S.) have two sort of small holes instead of the single hole of the boxer primer (which was designed in Europe, go figure?)

1894cfan

If you want to try a light bullet load, I load Hornady 86 grainers on top of 9gr Trail Boss. I have to do a LITTLE kentucky windage at 50yds elevation wise out of my 1941 94, but am able to keep it in the X-ring with a little practice. That load comes to about 1500fps. HTH
