Play with proofhouse.com and you can get am idea of how old the Winchester is using your serial numbers and the information on the barrel. It is a model 94, right?
my # 2224XXX
year 1956
The octagon barrel and the amount of curve in the butt plate have me curious about yours.
My cousin almost bought a .45-70 lever action when I got my 30-30 the other weekend.
The 30-30 looks OLD...I got my '56 a few weeks ago and it will leave a dent in your shoulder especially with that old metal butt plate. I wouldn't get rid of it if someone offered me double the price I paid.
Happy shooting.
This won't be a concealed weapon, mainly to get her something she likes to shoot. I was hoping for something small with an easy slide but a revolver seems the best way to go.
We were at Sportsman's the other day she pointed at a Ruger Bearcat she liked.
Been spending some money lately on guns & ammo. Made a purchase a few days ago and promised no more for a year...
So...its time to start buying her some guns.
I'm thinking a .380 or close to start;
Beretta Tomcat or Cheetah
Sig P232
You know what i'm looking for.
(CA legal)
Proofhouse.com says it's made in '56.
Being a pre-64 gun it looks like it was hand made, machined, rather than stamped in a factory. After 64 they began to manufacture the gun more affordable due to rising costs.
Just picked up a Winchester model 94 30-30 from a show here in town. The guy said he had it since he was a kid and it is a pre 1964.
Whats the best way to check the facts about the age and style of gun?
This one aint for fun
Im going to a gun show this weekend and looking at getting a shot gun. Not for shooting trap though. Mossberg 590A1 6 shot. Call me crazy but that sounds like fun to me...
I got everything back together and it seems to work...almost
I need to shorten the trigger control tab a little more I think. (not shown in the video) This part is on the Ghost Rocket and makes it not just a drop in part that needs to be ground down little by little until it is the proper length. It doesn't do it all the time but every now & then the trigger seems to catch before releasing. Prob just another .01 of an inch & it will be time to hit the range!
Noticeable difference in the pull by the way
I have my top slide completely broken down. Not to clean in there...
What should I lubricate and what should I leave alone when putting things back together?
The book I'm using only says a drop on the barrel, slide/slide rails, and connector spur.
