I’ve seen post 1963, pre rebounding hammer Model 94s in average condition sell for $750 recently, but not a rebounding hammer AE.

I’m in agreement that it’s closer to a $600 gun.

The 1964-81...

Winchester added the rebounding hammer in 1981 just before the Angle Eject in 1982 when Olin sold the company to its employees who formed US Repeating Arms.

USRA went under in 1989. FN Herstal...

Winchester discontinued the .32 WS in the Model 94 on 1973. FN Herstal brought it back in 1992 and IIRC was discontinued again when production moved to Miroku. However, it was reintroduced in 2018...

Sadly that’s spot on.

Pre .350 Legend, .30-30 was available everywhere and at very good prices. It wasn’t uncommon to find it on sale at a box box store for $8-10 per box of 20.

This past...

I shot service rifle competition for years before I shot my first tactical rifle match. I noted it was on the schedule the morning before a service rifle match. I bought a surplus Inland M1 carbine...

You probably saw a Ruger Deerfield carbine (middle). It was a successor for their earlier .44 Magnum carbine (bottom), and was based on the Mini 14.

The .30 carbine was very popular in the 1960s, 1970s and into the 1980s as ammunition was inexpensive as were decent M1 carbines. You’d seem out on the range, you’d seem them used for small game ans...

I’ve been shooting 9mm carbines and braced pistols with 8.3” 8.9” and 11.5” barrels for several years now.

How much velocity increase you get in the longer barrels depends on powder burn rate.

Green Mountain sells an octagon barrel for the 77/22.

I posted this on other forums both recently and in the past, but it’s apparently worth repeating here. Neither Winchester nor Marlin ever chambered a lever gun in .45 Colt, at least until long after...

The roots of the restricted categories for suppressors, short barrel rifles and automatic weapons was in their use by criminal gangs of the prohibition era and in particular the motor bandit gangs of...

I based my numbers to some extent on what the average guy can obtain without going to extra ordinary casting and hand loading efforts. The 158 gr jacketed load mentioned above is a standard Federal...

More specifically to your Model 94 Classic:

The Model 94 Classic is sometimes referred to as a commemorative but it wasn’t.

Winchester had discontinued the Model 64 rifle in 1957 with just...

The stamped lifters were not around for more than a couple years, and many of the, were retrofitted later but their owners with a forged steel lifter.

However the pre 64 Model 94s all have a...

There is a lot of misinformation out there about the 1964-1981 era Model 94s.

Let’s start with the Sinter forged receivers. Winchester switched to a powdered metal sinter forged process where...

I have:

- a 20” Rossi 92 carbine in .45 Colt;
- a 24” Armi Sport 1892 rifle in .45 Colt;
- a 20” Rossi 92 short rifle in .357 Mag; and
- a 24” Rossi 92 rifle in .357 Mag.


The .45 Colt...

As others have said, I’ve had excellent results with BLC-2. My first hand load in my first Model 94 (a 1956 20” carbine) used BLC-2 and Hornady 150 gr RN bullets and was 5 shot group 1.5 MOA...

Those 7 million Winchester Model 1894/Model 94 rifles were not all in .30-30. They started with .38-55 and .32-40 before the .30-30 and then added the .25-35, and .32 Winchester Special. The .375...

.350 Legend was everywhere here in NC and we are not a straight wall, 1.8” case length state. I saw three boxes of 30-30 about a month back, and that was the first I’d seen any in over a year. I...

In general, Winchester kept itself both busy and afloat manufacturing “commemorative” rifles and carbines, with most of them being made in numbers far to large to be collectible. Some like the...

.38-55 isn’t an option but should be.
