Being weak willed in the matter of firearms and working part time in a gun/pawn shop seems conducive to "stuff" coming home with me. Today I acquired for a reallllyyyyy GOOD price a Winchester 94 in 30-30 with a 3.6 million serial number which means a manufacture date of 1971.The early seventies were when Winchester committed the awful mistake of using a steel alloy for receivers. This stuff surface rusted and would not take a reblue. It had an awful side mount scope mount with a Tasco 4X.This came off immediately.The receiver has mucho "PATINA".
It is what it is. I intend to clean it really good and shoot it iron sighted.
I love a good 30-30 and hunt a lot with my 1947 dated Stevens Model 325 bolt action in 30-30.
There's just something good about the feel of a good lever gun.

The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa.

45/70,it's almost a religion.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.
