Thought I'd see if anyone could give me a date on our old family rifle.
As the title says, it's a Winchester 94. Barrel is stamped MODEL 94-WINCHESTER-NICLEL STEEL-30 WCF. Serial # on botom of receiver is 10028XX. It has a steel square topped butt-plate. Saddle ring has been removed -with a hacksaw- and a Marble flip up peep sight has been installed on the tang.
This was my grandfathers rifle, and he was killed while carrying it.-shot from behind by a guy who mysteriously did the same thing to someone else years later. supposedly accidents.
I believe this all happened in the 30"s. My uncle told me that the barrel may be a replacement, but didn't seem too sure.
Information appreciated. jd
