Makes me laugh for Levi to be anti-gun, probably quite a few good ole boys in days gone bye that either shot someone or were shot by someone wearing Levi's, maybe they feel guilty and want to make up for past sins.

Re: Winchester 94 in 32 W.C.F.
No buddy model 1892 came in 32 WCF or more commonly called 32-20, model 1894 or 94's for short came in 32 Winchester Special, but from what I have read I would not touch one to many problems with accuracy when the barrel wears a bit. Hope this helps. winchester 1886.
