I just picked up this 1894 SRC I think it is a Spruce gun. It shoots great. The saddle ring is loose, Should i use lock tite on it? Thanks

No doubt a genuine Spruce Gun. I think Bert is keeping track of all these, so he will put yours in the survey. Don’t do anything to alter this carbine. The experts will let you know what to do. Big Larry

Yes, it is a genuine spruce gun that is not currently on our list. Congratulations.
I would use a little LokTite on that sling-ring stud if it bothers you. Make sure the stud is parallel to the top of the receiver when you do.

Actually, I already had this serial number in the survey. Currently, I have (217) confirmed Spruce Guns listed.

Harry,
You must have sent me the information in the past, as I have both listed in the survey.
Thanks,

Nice gun! I don’t know exactly what a “spruce gun” is, but it must be a good one!
