And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Looks like a Ranger Point Precision loading gate on the one on the far right. I put one in my Pre Everything Marlin 1894 .357 mag and it help loading a lot.
Winchester 94s. Over 7,000,000 built in so many different calibers and barrel lengths that you could spend a lifetime trying to collect every variant. Al_in_Ottawa
Grand dad left me his original 1892, 38-40, well used, got it in his teens. Found out, case head is same size as .44 mag, Douglas Barrel in WV has an unchambered tennoned rifle bbl blank in .44 mag. Got the old barrel off, rifling was gutted, copied the dimensions, threaded the blank, did a preliminary, like .005 close chamber, then checked head spacing, good thing, cause it gauged out smack in the money first time, some red, peep sights, and Brownell's cold bluing, though i did it warmed up with steel wool, shoots really nice, the old wood and new blue look nice too. I'm a lucky guy, to use this my grandad hunted his deer with, no words suffice. Love you Pop if your reading this.
I inherited my Dad's 94 in 44mag. My brother and I bought him one inn 3030 but after shoulder surgery it was too much. It iss a big loop which is not my top choice but it is priceless to me

Thank you. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
DeleteThe difference between a Winchester 94 in .30-30, and VD, is that you can eventually get rid of VD.
DeleteI'll take the 2nd from right, thank you. Pre safety, side ejector, rear peep sight, full length mag tube, sounds ideal for a post '64 Winchester.
