Do they have one in stock and are they open tomorrow (Saturday)?
Out of stock.
Congratulate me- I was able to take down the action, clean it and put it back together again! LOL!
Cool, any extra parts left over?
Naw...
There's really only 10 parts you have to worry about in taking down this 94.
3 screws
1 locking pin
the lever
the trigger mechanism
the hammer
the bolt
the firing pin
the stock.
I found a guy on the internet in Maine who makes parts for old Winchesters. I called him up today and he said he has the part. I sent him a check and I should get it next week. I took the rifle apart again and cleaned the bore out real good with the bore brush.

I got the firing pin from the guy in Maine this morning in the mail. I put it in the rifle and reassembled it. I couldn't wait to take it to the range and see how it shot.
The rifle performed perfectly and was pretty accurate but it has more recoil than my Marlin 336AS.

That's more of a reloading question. Difficult clambering can be caused by a couple of reasons. Not setting the shoulder back far enough, over crimping leading to the shoulder bulging and oal too long . 30-30 cases are pretty thin to begin with. If New Ammo works ok then it's something above. It took me years to finally get a Wilson go, no-go gage. Best way I have found to insure correct set back.
If your reloading dies are within specs there should be no difference in resizing cases whether they were fired in any rifle of any brand. Sounds like you didn't size the shoulder back enough. This to is size a case, then marker it all up with a black marker pen, and gently insert it into the chamber with your fingers and close the action. You might want to just crack the lever, but don't extract, and close it again to get the offending part of the chamber or the case to rub the black marker off the case. If in your situation it takes off some of the marker on the shoulder, then you aren't sizing the shoulder back enough. Try that and report your findings.
