Winchester Model 94

[ntomsw]

Does anyone know where to get replacement parts for these?

I have a Winchester Model 94 30-30 manufactured in 1953, that is pretty rough, and I would like to replace the parts that are worn the most, and re blue the gun as well, as most of the finish is worn off. I have searched a little bit, but can't seem to find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

I need a magazine tube, maybe a set of all the screws, and a few other parts. A factory stock set would be awesome too, but that probably wont happen.

They probably have everything you need

They don't have much of anything, really. They only list 10 parts. Thanks anyway.

I shot it at the range right now just to see if she shoots. The damn thing shoots, I can't believe it. All I had was 5 rounds, so I set 2 bowling pins out at 50yards and knocked them both over with the 1st shots. Sweet.

Now I just need some new stocks, a couple other pieces, and re blue this thing. She will be sweet indeed. Then I will put her back in the safe.

Maybe the finish wasn't bluing. Seems like the pre-64 94's weren't blued??? I don't know. I need some advice & help from someone who knows a lot about these old 94's. I would like to keep it as original as possible, but also make it look better. If that makes sense.

The link that says '94 Pre 64' takes me to a diagram and several pages of parts including a mag tube, spring, most of the screws, forend wood and a few options for a stock.

Is that the model you have?

Oh I must have looked in the wrong spot. Oops. Yes it is a Pre 64 Model 94. I will check again. Thanks.

They have a lot of parts. I looked at the wrong one before. The stocks are out of stock though, for the straight stock. Oh well. I will see what thy have and don't have and go from there.

No one knows where I can get a stock? Or the original finish that was on the gun? Come on. There must be a lever gun guy who knows this info. I have searched but have found nothing.

Ahhh, that's what I was looking for! Thank you. Now just gotta see which one I need.

I have a question. Should I replace the very old original stock with new, and re-blue the gun? Or leave it all original? I am almost not sure what to do. If I replaced the stock, I would keep the original just so I have it. As far as the finish goes, it's completely gone. Looks like someone cleaned it with a grinding wheel. I just don't want to hurt the value or the history of the gun.

So, I am open to peoples' opinions.

You said its "pretty rough" sounds like its probably not a collector grade piece! I wouldn't worry about hurting the value. If you replace the junk parts and have it refinished, I think you will appreciate it more.
