Hi everyone. In my search for a Marlin 1894 cowboy chambered in 45 colt I stumbled upon a winchester model 94 trapper in 45 colt last week instead. I am a winchester fan and already have one pre and one post 64 model 94, so I bought it. I love how it handles, and it shoots equally well. However I miss the old action from my other model 94's. I can live with the rebounding hammer and tang safety. They aren't even close to deal breakers for me. But I would like to know if I can easily convert it to the old half cock action and replace the safety with this: http://homesteadparts.com/shopcart/pid_1584.htm
I don't want to do anything that isn't reversible. Anyway I'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me if this is possible and how to do it. I know the crossbow safety can be removed and the old half cock system can be dropped into those rifles. But I am unsure if the 94ae rifles produced from 2004-2006 are just as easy to work on. Thanks in advance!
