If you remove the forearm and mag tube, you will find a number stamped on the flat of the barrel. That will at least tell you the barrel age and get you closer to year of manufacture. I'm kind of leary of taking the forearm and mag tube off, I've heard it might be rather difficult to get them back ...

Thanks, guys. I guess I'll just have to settle for sometime in the '40s, then. Oh, well. BTW, It's in really good shape with a couple worn blueing marks on the barrel from being stored in a couple different gun racks, and a fair amount worn off the receiver from being carried. Doesn't look like it's...

Just picked up a Winchester 94, SN #1333***, which I just ran through the Win. Serial Number site, and came up with Manufacture date of 1943 through 1948.

I was told it was made in 1941.
Can anybody here help me narrow it down a bit?
TIA,

I've been using a load of 9.0gr TB with Hornady 86gr JSP in my Winchester 30/30 for a few months now with pretty good results out to 50yds so far. Haven't tried it out to 100yds yet.

1894cfan

I've got two 39a's, one was born in 1948 and the other in 1977.

My Grandfather had a pre-64 M70 made in 1941, barrel marked .30 Government 06, that likely came from the factory with the steel butt plate. I don't blame him one little bit for swapping that for one of those butt pads you mentioned. I wouldn't want to shoot a 180gr factory load out of an '06 with a ...

I use 9.0gr Trail boss with the Hornady 86gr JSP made for 30 Mauser pistols. It's good out to at least 50yds and ought to be useful for game up to dog size. HTH

1894cfan

Hope Hornady doesn't go under, I like their .308 86gr JRN for light loads in my W94 30WCF!

1894cfan

for DBW . . . I think when bad times I'll be going with my brace of .357s, my 92 and Ruger SP101. In my case it would be a Marlin 1894c, S&W 60-9 and/or Ruger .357 Speed Six short barrel. On the other hand, for a single weapon it would be either a Ruger M77RSI in .308 or Win 94 with scout scope...

1894cfan

And I have a 1891 Moisin Nagant that I've never fired, but works great for weight lifting.

1894cfan

I've got one of those .308's, a Ruger M77RSI, that I kinda down loaded with 26gr SR4759 under 30/30 150gr bullets. I got a bit tired of the expense of full .308 loads and getting a bit beat up. The SR4759 load feels the same as my Win 94 30/30 and M1894c with Mag loads.

Well, in that case I did a no-no! I just had to stick a XS scout scope setup on my Winchester, but left the Williams FP on it for back up.

Since you guys are talking about headspace type stuff, I've got a Win 94 that was made in 1977. When firing Win 150PP factory loads, some of the primers are backed enough to feel and others are flush with the case head. Do you think I might have a wee bit of a problem here?

surveyor527; If you go with the XS Scout mount, you're going to need the receiver above the barrel/chamber d&t'd for two mount holes. Other than that it's a straight do-it-yourself job, IF the rearsight dovetail is 4 inches in front of the receiver. Since I already had the '94 at the gunsmiths, ...

I've heard the main reason for the weird weather is that there's been virtually no sun activity for the last TWO years, ie. sun spots and flares, hence the cooler weather. So much for global warming, eh?

I'm from the other side of the tracks who believes somebody ELSE is responsible for that attack, and it Ps me off to no end that they are getting away with it!

If you really want to got the route of getting a butt pad, I'd suggest a Pachmeyer Decelerator, it's what I'm putting on my Win 94. HTH

try 4-8 grains of Unique or Red Dot, Been using that since '73 with 113gr Lee FP for a squirrel load and general plinking/shooting. Thanks, 3leggedturtle.

Primers backing out would indicate there isn't enough pressure to set the case back against the bolt face. Similar effect of shooting wax bullets in a revolver without enlarging primer flash holes.

I just want a low velocity plinking load. The load that I was given last year using 27gr IMR 3031 does work, but the primers are backing out a bit, hence the query for Unique loads.

As I mentioned already, I've got a 2X EER scope in hand, so might see if it works with the XS Scout mount, and since I have the Leupold Scout Scope on (back)order from Midway, I just might turn my 1894c into a Scout Rifle also.

Thanks for all the opinions, guys. Have decided to go with the Leupold Scout Scope, even if it is a bit more expensive. Now to have a couple holes d&t'd to mount the XS Scout Rail. BTW, 94 is a 1977 vintage.

Thanks, jkbrea. I do have other Leupold scopes that I'm happy with, was just wondering if I really needed the focusing option on the Burris, and what others opinions were on these two.
