Model 1894 Winchester 25-35

[Ernest.T.Bass]

I have some pieces and parts of a family heirloom, an original Model 1894 Winchester in 25-35. I have the barrel and receiver and all receiver internals but nothing else.

Where can I find a parts or donor gun?

Is there anyone between Nashville, Lexington, Bristol or Atlanta that specializes in vintage Winchester smithing or restoration?

What is the most reasonably priced way to get this carbine back into firing condition?

I have an old Marlin 1894 chamberd in 25-20 and I got most of the parts I needed to fix her up from these guys. I've heard some people complain they got the wrong part and they were slow on shipping, but (knock on wood) I've had fast shipping and all the correct parts came in.

Midway USA may have some parts as well, but usually not too many for an older gun.

Good luck with your rebuild

BTW, my .25-20 was built somewhere between 1898 and 1905 and was my Great-Grandmothers gun that was used to put food on the table. My next step is to send the barrel off to get it relined as there is NO rifling left in the barrel.
