…morning,

Does anyone have a 1950's vintage catalog and can tell me what a Model 61 standard rifle was listed for?

A high condition first model (and I suppose early cc’d second model) are missing from my 1890 lineup. 

Here’s a couple pics of the above mentioned rifle:

Greetings everyone,

Does anyone have an opinion as to how many times a Model 94 can be cycled before it’s action will begin to fail?

Asking for no particular reason aside from curiosity of opinions.

…have no experience with the later 94's but do have a working knowledge of the Model 1894 and the levers Winchester made before it. The actions failed because of dirt, black powder, rust, lack of lubrication, and poor ammunition.

…Stevens Favorite will "open itself" when I let go of the lever.”

  Clarance the stevens favorite is a very simple action.  Depending on the model I will use the 1915 as an example the finger lever is held in place by a spring and plunger that is actually in the extractor.  The plunger pushes

…several times a week now.  Bert has a ton of information from surveys on the single shot and 1894.  The 94 book is a fantastic resource for that model.  

Thank you gentlemen for the countless hours spent on surveys I can only hope more books come from these surveys.

The particular trigger for my wanting a Model 92 was something that happened when I was about 12 years old, growing up in an industrial town on the Gulf Coast in the early post-Korean War years…

…modest street and the son of a West Texas half-Comanche ranch hand/oil roughneck was my best friend. He opened a closet and showed me the first Model 1892 I'd ever seen, chambered for a cartridge I'd never heard of, the 32-20. Said his daddy killed a deer every year with it. It was loaded , with

I have a weakness for oddballs and my Model 1892 25/20 has odder balls than most. Got it at a gunshow on the cheap after it had been thoroughly messed up by time and abuse, its last owner
