I went hunting with my '73 Winchester 94 over the past few weeks in the North Country of NH. Sunday it was sleeting, snowing, and pouring rain.
I get home...decided to strip it down removing all parts for cleanup of moisture. In the process of putting it back together....I overtorqued the loading gate screw....I tightened it until it snapped off...then backed off a 1/4 turn....yikes.
So... I went on the hunt for a new loading gate screw...the only ones I found were on Ebay...no one seems to have these any more. Brownells, Midway, Numrich...all dead ends..... I ended up buying 2 of them...did it once....I'll likely do it again.
