    Neglected old Winchester 94

    I wasn't able to move the breech bolt forward or backward, so i'm going to stuff it in the freezer for a few hours then heat it gently with a propane plumber's torch. I'll repeat this through the day to see if I can unstick it.

    Neglected old Winchester 94

    If he has a window-apartment maybe the staff will let you 'visit' from the outside? I know how tough it is, but the homes are so susceptible to illnesses, not even considering the danger of CoVID! If you can find an inexpensive chromebook have the staff give it to him and show him how to use...

    Neglected old Winchester 94

    Thanks for sharing Bayou52. That's a nice rifle! Does "flat band" relate to the barrel-band near the muzzle or to the fore end band? My M94 doesn't have the fore end band(that wood is gone), but it appears to have the same type of barrel-band. I was thinking about using a browning solution...

    Thanks to all of you. I've let it soak for a few days in very ugly mineral-spirits(so old it came out of the bottle like vanilla milkshake) and automatic transmission fluid. If it won't move today I'll try to get it back into battery and then attempt to disassemble it. I appreciate the advice...

    Neglected old Winchester 94

    I've been soaking; it spent 24 hours in vinegar, then 24 hours in auto transmission fluid. I have no way to push the action open. The action is only 1/4" open. My plan is to return this old survivor to working order, retaining as many of its original parts as safely possible. If successful...

    Neglected old Winchester 94

    A few months ago I purchased a "for parts" Winchester Model 1894 chambered in .32 Winchester Special. The serial number dates the rifle to 1951. The wood is pretty much gone. There is heavy putting on the barrel, but not so much on the receiver. With one critical exception the action is...
