If anyone has one for sale or knows of a source. I've checked all the regular places.

Numrich, Homestead, Old West Scrounger, and E-bay.

Thanks.

Winchester used 60 deg.

Thread forms are one of my many interests.  Considering that William Sellers did not propose the 60° thread form until 1864, and the Whitworth thread for with its 55° included angle was proposed in 1841.  I am not sure what Winchester used for a basic thread form.

I find the list of common screw and thread sizes listed in the For Collectors Only series of books interesting but I would like to find taps and dies to chase the threads.  

I am also looking for a 6-42 bottom tap for cleaning up the front magazine mounting screw thread on a Marlin M1889 rifle.

I recently acquired a Model 94 30-30 built in 1970 per serial number. The trigger stop is intermittent and will let the trigger move to the fire position without the finger lever being held against it. I am wanting to know if the safety catch or the trigger is the most common part that would be worn to cause this issue. I have thoroughly cleaned the gun and inspected all parts but I am not sure if anything is worn excessively. The trigger also has a very light pull force to it (hair trigger).

Thanks to everyone for their help as I would like to get this gun safe and operational to be able to shoot on a regular basis.

Custom wood blanks can cost more than an unfinished stock from Boyd's.  When I specked out a 92 stock with xx wood it was only $243.  This is with no extras or finish.  I'd talk to them and see if they would send you a pic of the one you would be buying. 
  

Thanks, I’ll give Boyd’s a try

Contact Mark Douglas for fitting. 

Good luck and keep us posted.

The gun: Winchester Model 94 AE in .45 Colt. As far as I can tell it has never been fired.

The symptom: the carrier sits up and blocks the loading gate. You cannot get a round in the side at all. Push the carrier down by hand and a round goes right in.

The history: the previous owner never figured out why it would not load. It went to two gunsmiths and came back both times with no fix. I finally tore it down myself.

The cause: the carrier spring was missing. Not broken, not worn, just not in the gun. Either it was never installed or it was lost in an earlier teardown and nobody caught it.

The part: Winchester factory original, number U346420060, listed for standard calibers. The only chambering that gets a different spring is .357 Mag, part U346421180. Under ten dollars from Midwest Gun Works.

Why it is hard to find: the factory disassembly procedure stops before the carrier spring and says further disassembly is not recommended. 

I am in complete understanding of you're statements, and have been accused of playing the banjo, while hunting deer in my younger days, back in our hunting woods in PA, on our family farm. A lot of deer and meat have been harvested over the years in that Timber.

To me the carbine and having a tang sight, may be quicker and a lot easier for some, to gather they're sight picture to squeeze some rounds off, but not for me as open sight in my younger days, when my eyesight was pretty darn good, was a lot faster and easier and a lot of fun! We also have the right set up with several thousand acres of private hunting timber, that's been in the family since the early 1950's.
