Re: NEW: Winchester Model 94AE Skinner Receiver Sight

I looked at other photos on their site and it looks a lot taller from the side than my FP. I'm going to have to think about changing.

Re: NEW: Winchester Model 94AE Skinner Receiver Sight

That would look good on my big bore AE in 356. It already sports a Williams FP with a Skinner brass blade, but I really like the look. It would mean resighting, but just things you have to do.

Re: 9422 peep set up?

I put a Williams that fits in the grooved receiver on a 9422 I had. I did change the front sight to a Marbles sour dough, but I can't remember if it was taller or if I changed it because of the style. It did shoot very well though. Should never have sold it but the fellow that bought it made a great...

I agree. It it extracts and ejects live ammo well, probaly a dirty chamber. Maybe previous owner fired a lot of 22 short in it and it left a crud ring in the chamber.

Re: The wondrous pop pop boat

Pretty neat!! A silver type solder would probably be better to withstand the higher temps. You would think the incoming water would keep the temperatures low enough to prevent the soft solder from melting. Alcohol may burn cleaner than Coleman fuel (naptha).
