I have a Winchester model 94 Trapper in .45Colt. I bought it new. Then I had to send it back to the factory, twice, and then with it still not being fixed, I took it to the gunsmith who finally fixed it properly. It has worked great since then with full kudos to the gunsmith. I do not think highly of Winchester, it's service and the lever guns in particular. When I received it back the first time from the factory, it actually fell apart when trying to work the lever action. Quantrill
