Winchester Model 94 Question?

[sam5570]

I have a Win 94 30-30 story too: It has been a few years but the wife comes home and says one of her co-workers wanted to sell his 94 and was strapped for cash, and would take $75 for it.. she wanted to know if I was interested... I said Heck yes!.. why didn't you write him a check immediately? She says "well I don't know if you were interested, and we can ask about it tomorrow" She went back to work with $75 cash the next day and of course the guy found another coworker immediately after the wife hem and hawed about it.. It took a few years for me to quit mentioning to her if someone comes up to you and wants to sell their 94 for $75, and you know them and it is legit, YOU BUY IT!.. oh well.

i can tell you what causes that to happen is at some point and time she has bought something and paid to much and she probably caught h**** for it i can't tell you the times my wife has come home telling me about different things she seen at yard sales are like you someone at work had something for sale and of corse by the time she get back to work it;s gone but so many times she would buy things and pay to much or she didn't make sure it worked and got burnt and i raised h*** but it's all for fun

I wouldn't own a 94 without a cross bolt safety.The pre-64's are referring to the "bolt action Model 70's" as being the best,current model 70's are suppose to be on par with the pre-64. A lot of accidental firings with the old 94(drops).

I have one of the model 94 30-30's with the 'potmetal' receiver. It won't hold blueing(turns pink), so I painted it black, and it has no 'cross-bolt' safety(just the half-cock safety that most people don't understand the function of), and I love that gun.:thumbsup:

I had an older 30 30 i bought from a fisher man while up in Alaska a bunch a years ago (early 70s), was going to have some time off an wanted to get over to the Kenai for caribou. Great gun, especially in the brush, had it until some ***** stole it. I still ticked off about it.
