I'm just looking for advice from those who are more knowledgeable thn me (isn't too hard) regarding an old Model 94 I'm thinking of buying. I'm not a collector, but I enjoy older rifles and handguns and have a thing for old Winchesters. I've been on the lookout for an old pre-64 Model 94 chambered in 30 WCF (.30-30) for a while now..something really clean! I shoot and enjoy all my guns so this would be shot on my range as well as hunted with. Anyway, I found a Model 94 chambered in .32 Winchester special that is tempting me. If it were a .30-30 I may have already jumped on it, but these are my concerns. It's a .32 special. I'm a handloader and know I could pickup dies (and would) but brass and bullets are tough to come by. It appears you're stuck with Hornandy and Win brass, and Hornandy and Speer bullets. Kind of limited but that's more of a downer than a concern. The rifle is a carbine, looks fairly clean for it's age, around 1920. It's got a metal strap butt plate like the carbines did, but the barrel may have been re-blued. The stock and forearm are in nice shape and have some nice walnut figure to them but they appear to be refinished..they have a little more shine than I'd expect the original oil matte would be. I know his detracts from value as a collector, but I'll be shooting and enjoying it. The big flag is, the rear site looks like a normal rear pistol sight instead of the typical spring steel and ramp most lever guns have. Did Winchester ever offer this or did someone replace the rear site? I'm tempted to snatch it up, but dont want to regret holding out for what I originally started looking for. Any advice I can get is welcome.
