The ultimate 94 was the BigBore .356WCF. .348 WCF.ballistics stuffed into the little 94. A 200 yard 30-06 with a bigger bullet, to smack all North American Game. What more could you ask for! 45/70 because I am not remotely interested in packing meat an extra 200 yards. . :lol: :lol: :lol: https://e...

Easily rectified.
Go pre war if you can.
Better investment than any bank or wall street investment.
The plus side is you can enjoy those investments this side of the dirt.

Weaver K-3 wide.
The one advantage to the side mount is the ability to still use the iron sights.

I was referring to mine pictured above Fred.
It was new in it's original box with hang tag when I purchased it a number of years ago.

Most definitely will Jerry.
The day that happens, that pre & post 64 issue becomes extremely insignificant

Welcome to the dark side old man. You'll not find me scoping a pre 64. I would rather send it to Canada. But it does shoot better now. :? We will have to see what Sixgun says about this. It also solves the top eject problem, keep that collar buttoned up in a tree stand. What did Griff say, gonna ha...

This guy did an awesome job on making his own mount for this model 71 .348 win. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l308/mountaincreekphotos/Guns%20And%20Hunting/Right%20Side%20600%20pxl.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l308/mountaincreekphotos/Guns%20And%20Hunting/Left%20Side%20600%20pxl.jpg

Tell me about a couple of things on your old 194? 94. is it marked 30wcf? is the hammer checkering in a little square? I have one in almost new condition that first dated 1939 then other sites put it as a 1943 so I don't know what it really dates at. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l308/mountainc...

Thanks Ben.
Very pleased all the way around with the outcome of this project.
Maintains the classic levergun looks and handling characteristics with the optical advantage for older eye's. Exactly what I was looking for.

A big thanks for the scope info. Pete
Very cool, I had no idea.

Not normally a premium ammo. shooting kinda guy. Decided on a whim to purchase and give this brand a try. Will see if it's just $ wasted. Reviews are very positive anyway. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l308/mountaincreekphotos/Guns%20And%20Hunting/federal_vital_shok_30_30_f.jpg http://i99.photob...

This was posted on another forum by a hunter who lives in Minnesota. Well, I had success this weekend with the 44-40. It had been raining and sleeting for two days. I was not using my deer stand, because the deer were not moving. I was still hunting and pushing the marshes and watering holes. I push...

Exactly what I was thinking Rusty.
Could even grind the top edge off for safety, and use it as a small game field dresser.

I still use what worked for Dad and Grandpa.
A couple times a year I'll come across the old stuff from the 50's, 60's & 70's visiting flea markets.
The smell of the #9 is more than worth it

Olde Eynsford is getting a lot of attention & great reviews. They say it really shines ballistically in the old bottle neck rounds. I'm planning to give it a try in my 38 WCF as soon as I use up my old stuff. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l308/mountaincreekphotos/Guns%20And%20Hunting/olde.png

Thanks Mike.
That old 73 is the most fun rifle I've ever owned.
Hand casting and loading BP rounds with the antique loading tools is so nostalgic.
Love that smell and cloud of white smoke.

I'm going to try real hard to get a deer with it this year.

cshold

Mike, :) I remember you telling me the day we made the trade you weren't going to keep it. I paid $600.00 for it. You made $150.00 on it. I basically got an original model 73 for $750.00. "I sold one recently for about $750 on gunbroker. I think its too high. Have seen them go for $900 but I th...

The one I had for a short time. Just gotta love those purple loading gates. NOT :shock: Traded even up for my model 73 in .38 WCF.

The gun has some following but is pretty basic. Wondering if anyone was a fan of the model. They were made in the late 70s/early 80s. How about pretty girl filleting a fish. Don't know her, this from a friend. Not her either. I don't know, does probably a friebd of a friend count? I know a little a...
