Winchester 94 in .30-30.

This ain’t a show piece by any means. The furniture has some nicks and dents, but isn’t terrible. I’m sure with a little elbow grease and some sandpaper it could be greatly improved. The action is loose and rattles  

Now that I’ve got the cons out-of-the-way, here are the pros. If you want a cheap lever action, this is your gun. If you want to experiment with modernizing one, but don’t want to carve up a nice gun or invest $2000 into the endeavor, this is also your gun.

 

$550 located in Jackson Sold to Kimber451911

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

Does this have the stamped steel carrier or the later machined carrier?

[DUKETN]

Auuug.   I have wanted for so long.     Great sale!!!

If the first buyer falls through, let me know

Please don’t sand the wood if you can help if you can help it. If you haven’t restored the wood on an old lever gun, I can give some tips.

Agree 100%.. I have a buddy who needed one for a Christmas gift for a grandchild… so I let mine go somewhat reluctantly lol.. but I liked where it was going  and had my fingers crossed that I’d find another soon.

And a pre 64’ to boot. Awesome find and awesome price. I wouldn’t refinish anything. It will take away from its true value.

It isn’t a pre-64. 1974 manufacture. 

[Snaveba]

By 74, at least they had most of the kinks worked out from the changes implemented after ‘63.

From the Winchester serial number look up system it was manufactured in 1941. What am I missing?  The serial number is 1272454 isn’t it?

The angle of the pic blurs the number a bit. My poor picture taking strikes again. First digit is a 4, not a 1. 

[derf]

Well that does make a hell of a difference. It’s still a good deal go ahead with the refinishing. You want hurt a thing.

I thought the same thing, but some of the design didn’t jive with a pre-64 date.
