This 1943 love's those 150 grain PP's.
The vertical string is probably heat related.
That group was done with very little time between shots.
I was really hoping this 1943 would like the same ammo. as my 1961, but no such luck.
The 61 prefers the remington 170 grain core lokt bullets.
O well 30-30 ammo is still very reasonable.

They were making 94s in 1943? During the war?

YesSir, heat related. My 336 would string 6" with five quick shots...Let the barrel cool, and it was easily 1moa....cshold wrote:Blaine,BlaineG wrote:Lookin' good.....

Hummmm!!
I may have been educated myself here.
The first 5 of my serial number: 13123**
"1941 end of year serial number was 1313301 (CFM), 1191307 (Madis)"
Now I have to remember where I came up with 1943.

Looks like you are ready and any legal deer is in trouble!
I have had my scout mounted 94 out several times but the herd seems thin were I have permission this year.

I hate a scope on a lever gun but my eyes love em. I may have to get a mount like that for my 1920's vintage 94. Hope you get your deer.

Assuming the receiver is pre-drilled for it, try a Williams or Lyman aperture sight first before drilling and tapping any holes for a glass handle. They are amazingly effective, even with older eyes. Being 1920s, though, the receiver may not be pre-drilled on the left side for such sights. I can't recall the year they started doing so.

The old timers were after the optical advantage back in the day as well.
You gotta admit, this 73 has a total cool factor to it.
This maybe my next project.
