Two questions.
My grandfather had a scope put on my 30-30 when I was a kid. About 15-18 years ago. The gun was new. It is a Win mod. 94 AE. Why did he mount a side mount scope base on it? Was the angle eject a new model about that time (1982 - 1986)? I'm not sure when I got it. Will it work with scope bases directly over the ejection port? It is tapped for them.
He said he couldn't get it to sight in properly. I don't know why. I wonder if it is easier to sight in a scope mounted in the traditional position - directly over the receiver.
My other question is about the stock. The front part of the stock is a little loose. I don't know if the wood shrunk or what. Also, the butt stock is cracked right next to the tang of the receiver, and the wood doesn't fit very well to the metal overall. Where can I get a replacement stock in either wood or synthetic? I'd prefer to replace it with a synthetic stock, however.
Will any 94 AE scope bases and stock replacements fit this gun, or are parts specific to the year of manufacture and/or caliber? I'm no gunsmith.
Thanks for your help. I guess there are more than two questions in there afterall.
