It is an original ladder sight of the correct age (not cheap ). Pre 1914 (I believe that is the correct year) the ladder sight was v-notch. 1914 and later, the ladder site had a small square notch. The original saddle ring location was filled with a threaded blank. Might even have been the original threads, broken off the original saddle ring. I did have to get the correct tap (1/4x30) and chase the threads. At some point, someone did attach some side mounted sight or something. I inquired with Bert Hartman (Winchester 94 historian) if he knew what might have been added there. He did not recognize the hole pattern. I was able to get the correct thread pitch plugs for the tapped holes.

I figure since I still own the rifle, it needs to be posted in this thread as well look here if you want to buy it Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine chambered in 30 WCF (30-30) made in 1911. It is close to, but not all completely original. This one was pretty rough when I started. When I work on an old rifle, I don’t want to make it “new”, just clean and functional. It’s not a collector’s piece, but it is now a really nice historic old shooter. The rifle has been completely disassembled, cleaned and put back together. There was little (if any) original bluing left on the metal. I did not try to make the metal look new, but I cleaned it up and gave it a vintage look with cold bluing. The original gum-wood stock was in pretty rough shape and had, at some point in the rifle’s 113-year life, been refinished and sanded a bit too much. The original gum-wood forend was also sanded and bit too much and is split at the front. I cleaned them up as best I could, but they were still just to ugly. I replaced them with a reproduction set from Gunville.com in American Black Walnut. After hand fitting the new furniture, it was finished with a hand rubbed oil finish. The original stock and forend will be included. The saddle ring is also not original to the rifle but I believe it is an old piece. It also now has the correct v-notched ladder rear carbine sight. Before and After

Some before photos (FYI, the Lyman Peep is on a different rifle now) This was the best I could get the original gum wood stocks without over sanding.

Their price is a bit too high

Where did you snag it?

Could be a Trapper. Just looking for 45-70, and a threaded 16-18” barrel.

Looking again. Specifically for a Marlin GBL, threaded barrel, 45-70. Who has an extra that needs a new home.

Report back if the new disconnector solves your problem.

I know it’s not on your list, but the P365 platform is really sweet. I personally carry a P365XL (first gen) with a Holosun and love the pistol. Before this I carried a shield 9 2.0, or a Springfield XD in 45acp. The P365 is just a really comfortable pistol for me to carry (AIWB) and shoot.

I have started using this in my cans of finish that don’t really “dry” but actually cure with exposure to and reaction with oxygen. https://www.bloxygen.com It displaces the Nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere in the container with argon.

I have one of these with a S8g Romeo One. Great shooting pistol. GLWS

Ditto to the two comments above.

I’ll take #3

Wow. I’m kind of wishing I had not done a trust.

Nice collection, GLWS

https://www.sigsauer.com/sig-sauer-small-parts-shoppers/p365-parts-picker?location=Disconnector It is part #19. Looks like they are out of stock.

Well, so much for “quick turnaround”. I’m 5-weeks since the second submission and 13.5-weeks since the first submission.

I did it say they were against it. My point was the teachers I know don’t want to carry and want to co cern themselves with teaching. They don’t want to be thinking about being armed. Some may be for it, some may be opposed to it. Just because a teacher is opposed to the bill doesn’t make them anti-2A. It just means they don’t feel that arming teachers is the solution. I know that there are teachers that want to carry. Most, if not all, of us carry on a regular basis. We do it because it is our right. We do it to be able to defend ourselves or our loved ones. But we don’t necessarily walk out of the house every day thinking “will today be the day I have to defend the children in my care” and “please Lord, let my aim be true and let my will be strong”. That’s a big difference, and something an armed teacher will likely do. It’s one more thing a teacher has to think/worry about that is not education of their children. LEOs likely leave the house with that thought. Former LEOs might as well.

I’m not saying that. I’m just saying that the teachers I know don’t want to carry in the classroom.

My educated guess from the photos is 1971. It looks like the is a 71 before the serial number in one photo.

An FAFO situation

I’m trying to win a model 1873 at auction tomorrow, if it goes to high, this will sure be tempting.
