Shoot my Winchester 94 for first time.

[irishpete 2]

Picked it up in a private sale as it caught my eye, after running the serial, turns out its of 1958 vintage.

 

I have been looking at it for near 2 weeks and finally Shot it at the range for first time tonight, Iron sights, 23 yds, nice thump to it and pretty accurate.

 

I liked it, just need to figure out how to clean it now

Pete,

Sounds like a great rifle. Must have cost a pretty penny .what caliber is it?

Pre-64 M94's are beautifully made. You found yourself a nice classic rifle. This is a pretty good link for breaking a M94 down for a full cleaning if you ever want to attempt a complete disassembly. (The properly sized screwdriver bits are key.)

As for cleaning, you'll have to deploy a flexible system to clean from the breech end or else clean from the muzzle.

Its in 30-30, I will see if I can I can get a few pics up, its the cowboy classic look that drew me to it

Nice rifle. I have my grandfathers 94,30-30 mfg 1929

Yeah make sure you have the right bits, my 1954 vintage .30-30 is in very nice shape except for some eye sore scratches on the receiver where a previous owner tried to take out the side screws what what I assume was a dirty butter knife and slipped.

My broth inlaw just acquired a 50's era model 94 30-30 and it is one sweet shooting gun! I have added it to my list. Enjoy it

I've actually been seeing some pretty decent deals on these around the gun show circuit over the past year and a half. I want one pretty bad but I never have money designated for it when I see one.
