Hi, folks. Picked this rifle up for $225. It's a Model 94 in 30-30 with obvious receiver issues - the bluing apparently didn't stay on the receiver very well (according to the seller). The pictures make it look worse than it is - the bluing is gone, with some very slight surface corrosion. The rest of the rifle looks great, the bore is very nice and shiny, the lever/trigger seem loose (maybe that's normal?).
My brother-in-law has been very helpful with my wife and I's first house this past year, so I figured I'd get him something he's always wanted, but he'll probably never buy himself. At a gun show last year, he picked up a new lever action and said it "didn't look right" and he'd want to throw it around in his pickup bed for awhile to bang it up and make it look well used. So, I thought this rifle would be a perfect fit for him.
Serial # is 47744XX
Here's a pic:
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
It seems to cycle just fine, no obvious issues. The trigger and lever feel loose, but again everything seems to function fine.
