Be careful when buying a CG63. Many of them have been range rifles, and have been rebarreled twice, thrice or more. Chamber length was adjusted by turning the barrel harder into the reciever. If the gun seems to have been much used, look for another, as there have been accidents with blow up action...

I'm interested in one in very good condition with a very good bore with Soderin diopter sights, Carl Gustafs 1903 receiver, bolt and receiver matching, the seller want $475 + taxes + $25 for the shipping for it, good buy?

A question I forgot to ask, I know original CG 63 barrels are not available so what happen if I need a new barrel?

Cool ol Marlin, congrats

Received the gun today and I'm a little disapointed, as pokey said the wood has been sanded and refinished much more than I have anticipated, here are some pics. http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8074/38552.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/3880/38553.jpg Uploaded w...

Just emailed him and he said the screw of the 64 is longer because of the pistol grip stock.

Buster95

Does anybody know if tang screw of the model 64a and M94 are the same?

Buster95

Actually, it was not available for the early 1894s because the Marbles 60 series was not yet made when your gun was made. The sight is the Marble's 64 semi-buckhorn and it was available for the later Winchester carbines, all calibers; the Savage 99 .22 HP, 250-3000, and 300 Rifles; and all .22 cali...

I would like to know if a Winchester 94 with a half round half octagonal 26" barrel, 32 special made in 1905 is considered original if the gun has a marble's rear sight? Here are a photo of the gun and the sight (the rifle is not mine). http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/3508/winhalfround.jpg U...

Great piece congrats

What do you think? I know the gun is far from prestine, here the description by the seller "Winchester Model 1892 Rifle, cal. 38-40, small plastic wood repair to buttstock, bore in Good cond. with strong rifling with some pitting, S.N. 48XXX Dated 1894, 24" Hex barrel, Brown Patina, This r...

The problem is I'm in Canada I don't know if sights are on the US Custom exclusion list.

The sight pictured in fig 6-77 is milled? It's hard to see in the scan.

Buster95

At any rate, I looked it up in my North Cape Publications For Collectors Only Vol 3 (for Winchester 94 & 95) and on page 103 for rear sights - fig 6-77 - "The standard rear sight for the M1894 rifle was the semi-buckhorn rear sight which Winchester designated the "Series 24 Sporting R...

I checked my 94 book and that is not a a factory sight for a M94 Winchester. It is not a C/C Winchester sight as I have one of those in the drawer in front of me. I do have several identical to that sight and they all came off of 22's and Savage may be right. This book? http://img839.imageshack.us/...

Buster95

It looks like the stamped sheet metal sights they put on factory Marlins for years. It's easy enough to change to a good Winchester sight. Decent proper period Winchester sights, or good quality period aftermarket sights, as could have been factory installed on your gun, aren't too hard to come by....

Buster95

Thanks for the replies guys.

Buster95

Can you help me identify the rear sight in the pic below, this sight is mounted on a 94 cal.38-55 made in 1907.

I will probably buy the $475 rifle but I need a front sight hood (an original not a repro), anybody has an extra one for sale? I'm in Canada but I'm sure it's not a problem to ship one here.

Buster95

wood's been sanded and refinished How you can determine that from the photos? It looks like it's been sanded from the line of metal showing on the upper tang, behind the hammer. The metal is higher than the wood. Comparing the metal condition and wood condition, the wood is in much better condition...
