I'm putting it thru a Winchester model94xtr 7x30 waters  I run up on this gun in a gun shop in Louisville Ky. back in the 80's They had it on clearance because this caliber wasn't selling well, He even threw in a set of Lee dies for it. I wish I had keep it in the box with all the paper work.

Winchester was doing a lot back then to try and breathe life back into their old lever guns. A lot of the western craze was over and reproduction imports had cut deeply into the 94's sales. The stamped parts in the Japanese production had not helped so they tried better finish and some new chamberings. Some of those are really cool finds now. If I was a collector I'd want a basic 94 collection of a long rifle and a carbine in each of the original 5 chamberings. Nothing fancy just working rifles, shooters. I should have done it is the 60s when they were cheap.

Lots of gun talk...........Did I tell you guys I play trombone?

[sammons]

Haha another band geek! Mom insisted I join the school band in 6th grade. They wouldn't allow guitar pick'n, so I had to learn trumpet.

Six ball I had a winchester I wish I held onto Model 71 348 cal. They stopped making ammunition for it I sold it .Then they started making it again.
Its like all the cars you had you wished you held on.

Don  you are going to make a great Kentucky long gun,I know because i seen your work on the 32 chevy high boy.Do us all a favour and please let someone else take that first shot  I do not wish to see you with a broken sholder.Man those things do make a lot of noise.Happy New Years to you Pat and Grandma.  Barbara & Wayne

The .45 cal. is like shooting a .243. no kick.

[sixball]

Any of the old style round ball muzzler loaders up to .54 cal properly loaded don't kick as much as a 30 30 carbine. When you start double charging and going to heavy conical bullets things change.

Too much gun talk: Sorry, my folks made me take accordion lessons for 5 years and it made me mean.

I own 9 Winchesters I just have a thing for lever action rifles, brass instruments don't do a lot for me, especially an accordion never got into polka music.

Ha Ha I wanted to learn to play drums!  My parents said no way so I took guitar lessons.  Still have my old Gretsch guitar
Never in the school band though!

[sammons]

I'll have to say i'm partial to cowbow style lever actions too! I've sold off most everything else,  but not them. Half Winchesters, half Marlins. My favorite is grandads 108 year old model 94 .32 W.S. 26" octagon barrel. He used it (with homemade scabbard) as his saddle rifle. Damn thing is heavy. I took my aunt out last summer so she could shoot her "daddy's" rifle. I warned her of the kick, two days later she had a big bruise.

I would love to have a 94 .32ws I just can't turn loose of the cash I would rather buy car parts that's my obsession. Got over guns a few years ago thought about selling some just can't do it. Have way to many pocket knives just can't sell any of them either. Does this mean I have some kind sickness?

[chopper526]

It sounds like some of you guys may have appreciation for more than the sound of a Winchester. I have a small music studio in my basement and have played with local wedding/bar bands for the last twenty years. Tom, you can stop by and play my drums any time you like. Sammons, I got a trumpet for you too! Sixball, I can't help with the accordian

Hmmm, guns n music.
Tried to learn guitar once, couldn't be bothered.
Have customer who's an officer at local shooting range, who drags me out sometimes to play with pistols. I can shoot most of em good, but mostly miss with his Desert Eagal. That's a badass gun.
As to my interests, I do a little gardening to relax, have studied seven different Martial arts disciplines over last forty years, I cook, and make up my own recipies, I built scale hot rods, and have done for nearly forty years, used to pig hunt, but haven't been out for over ten years, I draw a little for fun, but as I draw for my day job, inserting pigment into peoples flesh, I don't draw outer work as much as I'd like, and I try to spend as much time with the five year old as I can. She off to school soon, so won't be half as much time anymore.
Used to canoe a bit, and now that my old one has been finished getting rebuilt, I hope to get out before Summers end. I do a lot of polishing old things for people, but only if it interests me, cause polishing kinda sucks.
All this, and I don't have ADD.

Wow... Kinda makes me want to build a hot rod 4+4

Ratiac, what type of Jeeps do you run?  I really like the oldies (mid 40's). Got hooked on them right out of high school, preffer the original "Go Devil" L head. I had one with a 265 v8 Chevy conversion, didn't like it. The problem around here is finding hills to climb.  My little CJ2A use to out climb ,or faster up, the steep ones than the other V8 ones. 

My freind lived out around Moab for a couple years. He kept telling me to bring my old flat fender out, that I would have a blast. Wish I had!
