I saw some young fellow pontificating on Youtube today saying that the quality of the Winchester 94s produced in the 1970s - and this is a direct quote - "sucked."
This actually hurt my feelings as my favorite rifle is a 1971 Winchester 94 in 30-30 (big surprise there). I suppose I need to save my pennies and buy a pre-64 but, in the meantime, is there any real problem with the 70s-era 94s or was the aforementioned youtuber just being a doofus?
Is there anything likely to break? Do I need to lay in a supply of parts and a "how-to" gunsmithing video?
Please don't tell me to stick it in the closet and get something made in Japan - I've had way too much fun with this gun and I hope to have more still.
