Ive been collecting parts for an old 94 Winny basket case I swapped for . Upper tang was broken at some time and brazed back together ,buttstock had been cut for child/woman . And so forth , you get the picture , it is by no means a pristine collector . I think it will have character when its together.
One thing I find odd with it is the barrel band location is in front of front site . Barrel is marked .30WCF and Special Smokeless Steel . Bore is really nice .
Rec. is in 400,000 range , early 1900's I believe ...
Still waiting on a few lil parts and she shall be back in the runnin
Looking forward to seeing the finished product bro, fine as always i`m sure.

Hagler , thx for the pics ! Thats what had me boggled as the other 94's I have are band behind site and a milled ramp instead of dovetailed barrel. I also had the rear site like the 1925 model pictured .
I had to add a hunk of wood to butt plus comb and belly where it was wacked up. Guess I'll make the butt plate like the 1925 model one . Lot easier than the cresent ones I make for Tenn. rifles !
Pitchy , this one will prolly be a 'Grapes of Wrath' version ! ha ha ha ha!! But it will be a sleeper ! The bore looks like it should shoot real good
The early type front sight bases aren't dovetailed, they are silver brazed onto the barrel, with perhaps some being machined from the barrel stock as well. I rather prefer the looks of the early types over the later ones with ramp front sights.
Should be a fun project.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?
