I've been trying to get some information on an inherited rifle. It is a full rifle break down winchester mod 94 30-30. serial number on the reciever is L037xx and it has FD stamped about a 1/4 inch under the serial #. The only barrel markings are the manufacturers new haven markings and caliber markings 30W.C.F. Included with the rifle is a leather case that holds it while broken down, and an old cleaning kit in a leather case. The bluing is pretty worn and the stock has a couple of scratches and dings, but the bore is good and the lever action smooth as silk. I would like to know the approximate year of manufacture and if it would be safe to fire modern ammunition through this rifle.
Thanks in advance for any information y'all could give me on this.
