Buy or Pass? 1950 Win 94

[Shawlerbrook]

My investment is in the fun and enjoyment I get from finding, owning, fiddling and shooter them. The financial aspect will be my heir’s problem.

I have a .32 Winnie built in 1950 and is probably my 2nd favorite to shoot after the 1911. Shooting cast bullets in it is a blast. If it’s safe and functions well buy it, you won’t regret it.

My 32 Special's are Marlin's but but If I liked the rifle, to me, being a 32 Special would be a plus. One of the best cast boolit shooter's. You only lose money in the stock market if you get scared and get out when prices fall, buying high, selling low does make for a profit. Over the long term stocks have gone up for at least the last 40-80 years.

The longer you have it and shoot the more you will come to appreciate it. Happened to me years ago on a Rossi Trapper in .357 Magnum. Was really hoping to locate a Marlin but they were all bought up before hitting the market. This rifle was an estate consignment. So old it carried the Interarms rollmarks, had a receiver sight on the side of the frame, rear sight was gone and a dovetail filler applied. The more I worked up loads for it the better I liked it. I could sell it now for 2X what I paid for it but it is not available. Enjoy your find.

Well here is the rifle after full disassembly and deep cleaning. It had been stored for almost 50 years, and really needed it. Thankfully it was from the dry Southwest US. All the lubricant was basically petrified, and contained a little sand I think. Note that I removed the Lyman 56A sight and replaced it with a 66A temporarily. The 56A is on its way to a friend who has an ultrasonic cleaner. The 56A sight is in excellent shape. I’m planning on using RCBS 32-170 cast bullets in this gun thanks to a forum member. Thanks for all the feedback.

That is a very nice 94!
Yours is four years older than mine but looks better for sure.
