I will have to try this load I have that powder and can easily source some 150gr Sierra when I go to town again

Thanks all this is exactly the type of info I am looking for.

Thanks everyone all good information.

I knew there was something I was forgetting about shooting lever guns from a bench, I think I shot my best groups as well, with the forend gripped in my hand....

Not necessarily, it seems this is a good shooter, so I was looking for some loads to try that people find are accurate, I enjoy squeezing every bit of accuracy out of my rifles.

I had another 55' win 94, that someone had carved the stock up some, that one was a shooter for sure, the other one was LNIB from 1962 and ill say i never shot it, so not sure how it would have shot....

Hey everyone, after having to sell my two pre-64's back in November I managed to pick up another one from 1955. Not quite as clean as they two I had but seems a solid shooter, best group was 1 5/8"...

that makes sense @vzerone, as far as the mark on my frame/ guide rod I put some cold blue on it so ill see if I get that wear mark again. I haven't shot it yet with the 18.5# spring but I did notice...

Thats a good point but wouldnt the drag caused by the slide picking up the ammo and sliding it forward into battery negate that? Atleast with only a mildly overpowered spring (like a 17# vs 18#)...

Hey everyone, always been a revolver guy, but always wanted a browning hi power and picked up a NIB one that came through our shop from 1987, though it appears to be a MKIII model. Put some altamont...

what is the purpose of the full cock/ lever open? VS halfcock, as neither contacts the frame/ slide.

What is the correct method of disassembly for the marlin 39a (golden) with the crossbolt safety and rebounding hammer? I picked up a like new one (jm stamp) for 299$ and it looks really nice, I am...

One side is tapered more than the other side, both have a bit of a taper, but it is machined like that,

it is not the link pin, it is the "lever" link pin, but the older ones aren't tapered i...

Hi all, I have a question about re assemling the winchester 94 ae's.

When you put the lever pin back in (the tapered pin that connects the lever end through the bolt that you cover with the cap...

Actually it appears to be an issue of the lever possibly being bent, or contacting the tang too early.

my thoughts now are that it is the lever/trigger safety stop that protudes too far from the lower tang, if you look at this photo of another 44 mag ae i found it has the same issue clearly. And i...

that makes sense, I guess I am just spoiled with my 1950 winchester that is a tackdriver and locks up tight, I guess I didnt really think about the entire locking block, just made me nervous about it...

How would I know if this is the issue without trying a new lever? Is the rifle shootable as is.

I understand that, it was more the fact that even when depressed, the lock bolt and link plate do not seat completely flush.

Squeezed tightly with my hand through the lever, and the trigger detent depressed, it doesnt move the link plate and bolt do not move much futher, and definitely not flush. What is seen in the photos...

I just picked up a winchester 94ae in .44 mag that appears to be unfired, before I fire it I have a few safety questions, I am more familiar with the pre 64 action and the 30-30's. This one was...

I was hesitant to purchase it due to it being strictly a handloading proposition, but i bet you could use the .36 cal (.375 roundball) caliber cast balls for plinking loads.

I have that brass source saved but wasnt aware they will be available so soon, how do you know?

I found those bullets as well, not bad price if theyre good bullets.

Picked up a mint winchester 94 Big Bore in .375 winchester XTR from 79' or 80', I realized the ammo shortage for this caliber, but went ahead anyway for a fun wintertime project. Was curious if...

Oh mine is just a typical 30-30 pre 64. Thats good to know on the bands though. Ill order a set to test out if i can find them.

Thank you very much hick, I know there was a rear band with a tapered screw, but it doesnt seem common, I dont see why a late model pre-64 and an post 64 band would be much different (outside of...
