Model 1894 Winchester in 25-35

[ernest.t.bass]

I have some pieces and parts of a family heirloom, an original Model 1894 Winchester in 25-35. I have the barrel and receiver and all receiver internals but nothing else.

Where can I find a parts or donor gun?

Is there anyone between Nashville TN, Lexington KY, Bristol TN or Atlanta GA that specializes in vintage Winchester smithing or restoration?

What is the most reasonably priced way to get this carbine back into firing condition?

You can hunt up the manufacture year from Fjestad's "Blue Book", free browse at book stores or at many gunshops. The 94 had a type 1 and a type 2.

Hang on to that .25-35. They're nowhere near as common as the .30-30.
