My Dad has given me my dear Grandpa's Mod 94 in 32Spcl. I remember shooting as a kid 40 years ago...
but what I don't remember is the floppy trigger. I have newer 94's in handgun calibers and none of them have a trigger that flops back and forth with no spring pressure.
While in a Cabela's gun library I handled a few older Winchester 94 lever guns and found a few whose trigger had alot of free play just like Grandpa's. I asked the two (a bit uppity) guys in the room with Cabela labels on their shirts about it and they said, " Yeah, that's the way they are."
Would you gentlemen please coment on this?
This gun is pristine, no rust, barely fired since dad never used it but kept it oiled. I don't know how old it is but Grandpa's name is on the case with a date of 1945.
Is this normal? Or should it be repaired? I'd like to use this gun on a hunt...
