Snaveba

To anyone local and interested, I have no problem meeting to let you look it over, no obligation to buy. I figure this is fair, owing to the age and such.

I do use my hands for work and play. And I hate wearing gloves. Drives my wife crazy. they’re actually kind of clean at the moment, lol

The bore is bright with strong rifling and no pitting. I tried to photo the bore, it’s not to easy with an iPhone

The Gun Shop in Crossville has 5-6 boxes of Vintage 170gr Remington Core-lokt in 32 Winchester Special. It’s not cheap ($59/box) but it’s there. They dropped the price to $50/box and I picked up 2 boxes. They also have one box of Winchester 170gr. Some still have ¢5 and ¢10 tax stamps.

The bore looks good for a 113 yo rifle. I can try to get a photo of the bore and post it later this week

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.

Trade I’m interested in is a Marlin GBL or Trapper in 45-70 with a threaded barrel. I’ll add scratch as needed. I can send more (and higher resolution) photos (including some before photos) upon request.

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.
