my 1972 Win 94 has a crescent brass buttplate. I have found an unfinished walnut stock and buttplate. Should I change it to the regular buttstock and butt plate???

Win94

Thank you all for your replies. I very much appreciate the time taken. I will maybe research a home rust blueing process as I do not want to take the chance of a long turnaround time from a gunsmith and have to go without during our hunting season which starts first week of Sept. Thank you all once ...

Picked up a Winchester 94 that was plastered with decorative tacks. Was going to walk away from it originally until after running the seriel number, i discovered it is of my birth year circa 1972. I have been looking for a 1972 for almost twenty years when i first got very intereted in lever guns. A...

They will not even take a gunsmiths hot blue. They come out redish color. They might take a rust blue. Some things you gotta live with.---------------Sixgun Well thank you for the reply. I'd hate for their to be an avenue to undertake out their that I didn't know about. I will research rust blueing...

My circa 1972 Win 94 has a bit of that horrid flaking on the reciever the post 64's are famous for. Short of utilizing a gunsmith's hot blue tanks, what can a fella do? G96 cold blue wasn't the answer!! LOL

Win94

Awesome pix. great looking country! lets hear more on the Lever Hunted Moose east of Valley View in 1976, great trip ollogger I received the Winchester a couple weeks ago. It had decorative tacks all over the stock. The reason I still obtained it is because it is my vintage (circa 1972). The pic ma...

I have often thought what a compact single shot shotgun would be like as a camp gun so i decided to make one. Now i know being a single shot, its not going to be the quickest tool for follow up shots but their is something about a single shot shotgun that lends itself to being a basic reliable utili...

Even though the forecast was not favourable, we packed up the tent and headed west a couple hours to the area we do our hunting, fishing and camping throughout the year. here are a few pics: Getting some grub ready after setup: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Win94/SAM_1173_zpsa8fe8a91.jpg Al...

Anyone have any luck with shooting plain based bullets in a Winchester 94 .30 .30 using IMR 3031?
Hoping for 1300 to 1600fps. Bullets are 25 BHN. We are experiencing a powder shortage up here and all I have is IMR 3031 currently. Thank you for any input.

Win94

I could go that route. But come to think of it, I'd be left with that brass coloured buttstock. Oh if only this mutt could talk....... Lol

Win94

So i came into this Winchester 94 the other day. No doubt its not the original stock. I only want it as a shooter. Can i salvage this stock after removing the tacks or do i continue my hunt for a new stock set?? I have successfully "steamed" out dents but i am unsure that technique will wo...

Win94

Sure Joe. When i get the kids settled after supper i'll do that for ya!!! Unfortunately my Uncle passed away of cancer a couple months after he gave me the 1899b.

Win94

was bored and took some pics. Top one used to be my Grandmothers 1965 99C in .308 Bottom one was my Great Grandfather's 1908 1899B in .303 Savage. The 1899B sports fiber optic Williams Firesites. The butt stock on it was badly damaged so my Uncle who used to make violins (fiddles) made the buttstock...

My Great Grandfather's 1899B in .303 Savage from 1907.

Well i thought i would post some pics of a rifle i recently aquired from my Uncle. It used to be my Great Grandfather's and dates back to 1907. Its a Savage 1899 in .303 Savage. My Uncle also gave me 4 full boxes of Imperial CIL 190 grain .303 Savage round nose ammo and one full box of Winchester 19...

Win94

The 14" contender gets 2000fps with lots of 170 grain loads from what i studied last night. The Trapper should no prob. Time to buy a chrony and see.

Win94

Good point Nath. I enjoy looking over the data for a 14" contender as it would be fairly close in comparison.

Win94

Just wondering if any of you folks have any experience shooting a .30-.30 Trapper with velocities in the 2100 neighbourhood with a 170grain bullet or would this be a pipe dream with the 16.5" barrel???

Win94

I thank you for your report. I have the same Trapper in a 1979 vintage. Its by far my favorite gun in the locker. I shoot a 170 grain bullet with 31 grains of IMR 3031. It gives me milk jug accuracy at 100 yards and i have yet to shoot it for groups or chrony the velocity.

Win94

If a synthetic stock isn't feasable, truck bedliner is tuff as nails.

Win94

Great discussion fellas.

Win94

These folks in Edmonton have always had the parts i have needed when things go awry.

Win94

Doesn't impress me. Do that with a levergun that has some recoil, then you have to reaquire your target after every shot.
Doing it with something other than a lttle pop gun would impress me more. The skill in those vids is way over rated.

Win94

Do i ever thank you!!! I even bought some Speer bullets last month!!! Looking forward to reading this tonight!!!

Win94

Was wondering who was handloading for their Trapper .30-.30's and with what powders and what velocities you folks were gettin????

Win94

Fellas i have just aquired a Savage 99 with a 26" octagonal barrell circa 1907. Although, 5 boxes of ammo came with this rifle of the Dominion variety, i would like to know if a fella can firefirm or make brass from common calibers like the .30-.30 and the like. I about making from .220 swift a...

Win94

I am thinking of picking one up but will continues useing my flat nosed Hornady handloads rather than that new Hornady rubber tipped fodder.

Win94

Fellas i was wondering what kind of velocity one could expect in the 24" Marlin XLR in .30-.30 when shooting regular flat nosed hornady's and not the rubber spitzer tippped variety.

Win94

Bagtic i fully agree with your statement. I think back in the day when food was scarce and it was about feeding your family back on the homestead, one would have made certain the bullet was placed where it should be for a proper and quick kill and a few months food supply didn't scamper off wounded ...

I like Kirk D's idea but have plans to change it up a bit. I have some antlers from a few spiker bucks from years gone by and will use those as the hanger brackets treated with a bit of tung oil. thinking of using some nice cherry wood for the board.

Hey there fellas, i put a new firing pin in the bolt of a fixer upper marlin 336 i just bought. The rifle was super smooth before but now something is binding.

I just sold a 1953 vintage with 90% blueing and barely any marks on the loading gate for 450.00 There are still lots of pre 64's in this area.

Win94

Nevermind.

Win94

I know of a minty top eject one for sale i may buy this Saturday if its still there. I'll post pics if i buy it.

Win94

With me its a toss up. On some rifles i like the shine/sheen and others i buff them out.

Win94

....sorry double tap

Win94

Win94, that is an excellent job on that stock. I know the purists are screaming in rage but you did an incredible job of weatherproofing the stock and IMHO it looks great! Did you have one of the bed liner companies spray the bed liner on the stock or did you do it yourself? Does it have a rubberiz...

Win94

Win94, that is a nice gun! I canâ€™t tell if the stocks are synthetic or wood. The picture is dark and it is too hard to tell. I've not heard of a black synthetic stock levergun so it is probably just a dark wood. Irish cop, thats a wood stock roughed up with 80 grit, painted with flat black as a p...
