Re: Where to find a Crescent Stock and forearm for Oct Barrel

I also have an idea, I just have to get the guy to call me back. I'll let you know what I find. Tom So far the best source from above is www.treebonecarving....

Re: Where to find a Crescent Stock and forearm for Oct Barrel
What is and how much of a difference are the Pre 64 stocks compared to the Post 64 stocks?

Re: Where to find a Crescent Stock and forearm for Oct Barrel
I was going to say +1 to http://www.precisiongunstocks.com - same as Precision Gun Works. I can't seem to bring up the site right now so don't know if that's me or the site. Seems to me I remembered a "cowboy" set up for late 94s (post 64s)...but that may be a carbine (butt stock etc) kit...

Where to find a Crescent Stock and forearm for Oct Barrel
I have had some people here give me such good advise on a build im doing so I figured I would ask one more question to the public here. Im looking for a crescent style buttstock that will fit on a post 64 Winchester 94. The rifle was made in 1979. I am also looking for a forearm that will fit the sa...

Well its not the find of a lifetime or even close but I was happy with what I picked up today.

Re: Winchester 94 Action Wrench (help removing barrels)
Rube, Griff uses a technique that is very similar to what P.O. Ackley described in one of his books. Ackley advocated wooden blocks, but did not add any suuport to the receiver of a Winchester 94. Here is a short clip of what is involved in removing the barrel on a similarly-shaped receiver (though...

Re: Winchester 94 38-55 Caliber Change
It is probably a top eject barrel with the extractor cut in place for the top eject. You MIGHT have to make minor action changes. Many report no changes necessary. PS - Jesse Ocumpaugh will rebore/rechamber your barrel for you for a modest price and he does very good work. If I was to get a rebore/...

It gave me what I was looking for. You could probably get a darker finish by repeating the process if you desired.
What did you use to brown it like that? I think it looks pretty darn good.
