Just traded in my old 1997 F150 before heading up to Cody last month, I figured after 249K I’d probably gotten my money’s worth out of it. New truck is one sweet ride and it’s the same color as Bert’s Dodge….sort of.
I make a pretty decent living off trucks (usually chipped up) that DON’T go hundreds of thousands of miles with only a water pump repair along the way. Ask me how much it costs to put DEF fluid in a fuel tank sometime. 
I don’t drive a diesel…..other than a cute little orange thing around here somewhere. 
Back on topic I saw a couple of bags of 25-35 brass at Cabelas a few weeks ago. Probably should have bought it, never know when a 25-35 rifle might come along and you can bet I’ll want to shoot it.

Mike… no DEF needed for my old Dodge, but it does need 3.5 gallons of oil for each oil change!

Keep that oil changed and be glad it doesn’t take 10 gallons like it’s class 6-7-8 brethren. New diesel pickups are pretty nice but lots of their owners miss the old 5.9’s and 7.3’s.

Winchester officially discontinued the 32-40 and 38-55 calibers in the Model 94 as of January 1938. That stated, there were a few parts clean-up guns made in those calibers up to WW II.The 25-35 WCF was discontinued in December of 1951, but again, there were a small number of parts clean-up guns made in that caliber as late as 1953.
In my on going research survey of the Model 94 production from January 1927 through 1963, I have thus far recorded 6100+ guns, with just (200) of them being made in 25-35 (3.3%). Extrapolated over the total production in those same years (1,524,650), the forecasted total for the 25-35 would be (50,402) guns in that caliber.

Marty,No, but maybe you can answer my question…
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram truck in decent condition, any idea how much it is worth?
Seriously, you will need to provide a lot more detail (and some pictures) of your Winchester before anyone on of us can start to answer your question.

Hi Bert, I’m a bit late to the party. Going thru some of my late grandfathers guns. He has a Winchester model 94 25-35 he wrote a note saying “purchased by his dad around 1940” serial number #1332028. I do not see a “w” stamped below the number. What does the W indicate?

Jake,
Serial number 1332028 was manufactured in May 1942. Accordingly, it should not have the “W” stamp on it.
