Re: lever action gunsmith in CA?
one more thing i'd like to throw in here is that when the gun is empty every thing works as it should, the lever and bolt close smoothly and the lever latch holds.

You guys ought to compare a like new '41 94 with, say, a late '70's 94! I mean, ya gotta fight the '41 through the entire ejection/loading cycle 'cause it's that tight. As far as the '70's model goes, I've got a '77 94 that's so loose it feels like a hot knife through butter, it's that loose (still ...

Hornady still makes 86gr canelured jsp's. I haven't tried anything else, but if you have a supply of TrailBoss start at 9gr and work up to 11gr. DO NOT go over 11gr. FYI, the 11gr load will work for 86 up to 110gr bullets. HTH
