94's

Adam I also acquired an old 94. Serial says '98 and it is a full length 26 in oct rifle...Bore is OK not great..just OK It has express sights and a pistol grip stock. Not the original stock but an old replacement. Talked to the guy at the Cody Museum and the gun is as original cept for the replaced stock. I loaded up some cast boolit loads for it and am gonna use it for a deer here at home later this week. Shoots ok so hopefully it will account for at least one more head of game(maybe two as I have two landowner permits and too many deer) in it's long life. According to the historian the gun was shipped to a store in or near Clearfield Pa in early 1899. Nope not worth a whole bunch of money..but it's a neat ol rifle hopefully still bringin home the bacon after a 110 yrs. That is the neat part of the(on going?) history
