I need a Part

[Hagler]

Good people,

I went test-shooting my rescued Winchester 94 yesterday, and I lost this little elevator:



I was adjusting my rear sight, and "BOING!" went the elevator into the leafy covering of the floor of the woods. Does anyone have one of these that they can sell me? Please, let me know.

Thanks,
Shawn

p.s.

Here is a picture of another 94, with the same kind of sight & elevator that my rifle has/ had!:

Not that shape. How wide is your sight slot for the elevator?

[WIN 1894]

I have one of these elevators and it is Winchester Factory Original. email me if you are still looking.

Parts like that are easily obtained from Winchester/Browning's parts department. Order it by phone and you should have one in less than a week.

I just checked my parts list and it will cost somewhere between 1 and 6 dollars depending on which one you need.

They've got a couple of types. That one is the high elevator and should cost about $5.00 with shipping being $8.00 so, it's going to cost about $13.00 total

They also have one that is about .05" shorter in height, that costs $1.50

[Hagler]

Gents,

That picture looks exactly like the one that I lost. Unfortunately, I did not feel the need to measure it, 'cause I did not plan on loosing it!

The slot on the sight measures (1/8th) of an inch wide.

If makes a difference, the front sight is in a dovetail, on a ramp.

WIN 1894,

E-mail on the way!

Thanks,

If you are talking about the factory sight, then the variation of the ones on the parts list is the height. they are all the same width.

Go here http://www.winchesterguns.com/services/parts/index.asp

Download the catalog. The 94 parts start on page 37. The elevator is part no. 61.

They show three variations, one at $1.25 and two at $5.25.

I have ordered parts from them many times over the phone. They are excellent people to deal with.

For now, tightly black tape one or two dimes under the leaf with black tape and wait for the next gun show....There is always a Mr. Parts with a few tackle boxes of stuff like that and it prolly won't be more than a couple bucks.....

[Hagler]

Gentlemen,

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I found an elevator, today. I stopped at several gunshops, but the last one had a complete sight, plus a saddle ring. I got them all for about the cost of just the sight. It seems that someone had just put a receiver sight on his Winchester 94, and I got his leftovers.

I watched this one go from ONE PENNY to $26.01 in just a few minutes!:

...plus shipping!

Yeah, I saw that.

[bogus bill]

$8.00 to ship a elevator? A envelope with 2 stamps should do it! I must be rip van winkle! They must be Rip van Winchester!

Howdy Pards!

If anyone needs one of these in the future, just email me & I'll send it out to you. (I have one only). It's a pre-64 elevator off of a Model 70. It is the same as the 94. In 'bootiful shape. Heh!

Best to y'all...

Shawn:

Did you check at Slidell Arms on Robert off of west Gause? Those guys are good people.

[Hagler]

Scott,

That is EXACTLY where I got my parts! I was pleasently surprised to find that anyone in Slidell had what I was looking for.

Shawn

[RSY]

I'm glad to hear that. I really like those guys.

Where were you when you lost the part? Honey Island?

Scott,

I was test-firing the rifle in "Dave's backyard"! Dave has a few acres, and he let shoot a box of ammo. I was adjusting the rear sight, and there went the elevator! Since the woods is carpeted with leaves, I lost track of the elevator. I managed to find 19 out of the 20 empty shells, though.

Every once in awhile it pays to have a good-sized magnet in the truck for finding metal objects in situations like that. Here's the Cadillac:

Scott,

A magnet would have been welcomed that day.

David, the man who owns Slidell Arms, had some sort of medical problem. I have not been told the details, though. He saw a chiropactor for something, and the doc found something suspicious. David wound up in the hospital, and had a small section of his intestine removed. David was up in a day, and back to work in about a week's time. He looks good, and you would never know he had been in a bad way. David told a customer that he feels blessed to be alive.

Shawn

[RSY]

Sorry to hear that about David. But, glad he's doing OK.
