Right about the time the Winchester plant in Connecticut was closing down, everyone was out looking to buy Winchester made model 94's.I would love to find a early Winchester 94 but haven't found one that is of any quality at a price I can handle. Maybe someday.
The NRA version of RSO training I went through was pretty basic. Probably nothing like USPSA certification.USPSA NROI, does NRA RSO school teach dropped gun procedures?
This story about what happen to your dads 94 made me feel a little sad. I hope you find a suitable replacement.Right about the time the Winchester plant in Connecticut was closing down, everyone was out looking to buy Winchester made model 94's.
My dad called me from Arizona, he said, "you got to find me a 94, I can't find one anywhere". I didn't know what he was talking about. he said, you know a Winchester lever gun.
He hunted deer with them when he was a kid.
I found one at a gun store about 100 miles away. List price was $491 on line. They were asking $625 and had two left. I bought it.
I delivered it to him, he looked at it, put it in his gun safe. That was that. I don't think he ever fired it. Dad's gone now and I got the rifle. It burned in the fire.
The Winchester model 94 is now made in Japan. List price is $1,919.
Wow.
I'd like to find a sweet pre-64, 30-30 myself.
