C&R Winchester model 94 pre-64

[K-9COPPER]

Here is my latest C&R purchase and probably the best condition in my small collection. Model 94 pre-64 with serial 251xxxx, making manufacturers date in 61. It cycles great and lever action is smooth. Now I gotta take it out for some fun at the range.

Nice. What is it chambered for.... 30-30?

Nice Lever Gun...I have a Few and Love them all. I have been working in leather for about 30 yrs so I love fabing Scabbards for them. After I came down here to the fl. house a Neighbor gave me a Lever Gun that He had for Years. I posted a Picture of it but I do not know if I can find the Post.

Yeah, chambered in 30-30. Would love to have snagged a 45-70 but not sure how readily available ammo is now a days. Would like to mount a period correct scope but not sure which way to go.

45-70 ammo easy enough to get. Just spendy.

Can't beat that. An investment that will never lose value, can defend your home and family and can legally put meat on the table. And purty to look at.

K-9 n Do a search With ."Crying Shame..30-30 Winchester" to see the Photo's.

To steal your quote, what a crying shame! That'll give you a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach looking at those photos. Note taken, no padded cases.

When the Old Man told me He had an "Old Lever Gun" for Me ...My Heart Jumped....Then He Bought it Up From Down Stairs in the Plastic Wool Lined Case ....
Things Went To HELL! I almost Shed a Tear Right there. But as it Was a Gift for Me I Kept My Cool and Did Not Say what I was Thinking !

Yes, will make a grown man cry

Looks to be in very good condition for a 1961, great buy, enjoy!

 

[llkoolkeg]

I absolutely love those rifles but likely couldn't afford one.

I got two . One from 61 and one 59 in about the same condition . My son got the 59 and I got the 61. Great rifles. He got his first deer with his last year.

 

[BossmanPJ]

I have a 1962 and I love it. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Mine was pased down through the family. Enjoy it. They are great shooters.

OP was that a local or online find?

 

[K-9COPPER]

Virginia gun show in dulles. Not this weekends one. Prices were all over the place for these things

Any thoughts on scopes and ring mounts for this rifle since its top eject? I don't wanna booger this thing up. Wanna do it correct for the year when referring to the scope mount
