Buffalo Bill Commemorative 94 short rifle
My Cabelas finally had a Henry single shot I could look at, been very interested. It was .223' looking for a .308. it was not impressive but$379. I'm not interested anymore. Too bad. The good news is, they bought a private collection ofLeverguns (83 of them) took the Winchester home fo $499. Unfired, perfect condition. Around my neck of the woods, ragged out 94 go for $400.

Welcome to the fire, pawpaw !
Those 20" octagon Buffalo Bill Model 94 commemorative's handle much better than the long barreled version, but there's a caveat with them.
The receivers are black chromed, which will flake off in a New York Minute if care isn't taken when using sharp-edged tools (like screwdrivers) around them (as if/when installing a receiver peepsight).

Re: Buffalo Bill Commemorative 94 short rifle
Thanks for the heads up. I wondered why the blue was so dark. I will be careful. I've been wanting a 94 for a long time, but couldn't find one without a safety that I could really afford, and certainly couldn't find a pre 64 at a good price.
Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to the fire Papaw. I think you'll like that '94 plenty once you get used to it.
There used to be a member her on the forum many moons ago who has now passed on but he had and has a website http://castbullet.com/
He used to talk about his times with "Old Bill" as he called it. One just like yours. His daughter keeps the site alive in his honor and you might find the articles worth reading.
Glad you found us.

Re: Buffalo Bill Commemorative 94 short rifle
and welcome to THE Forum! I have it's older brother, the '66 Centennial. I drilled & tapped the upper tang for a peep and installed a Lyman 17A front site. Haven't done any paper punchin' with it since, but have dinged some steel out to about 150 yards testing some powder coated bullets. It was about "minute of deer" with the factory sights @ 100; about the best I can do with open sights anymore.
I really like the 20" octagon these come with.
