The angle was just on the front portion on either side of hammer slot.

Pat C

So the pre-war tang had 20º angles on the sides, and the inlet in the stock had a matching 20º angle, like a dovetail. And post-war, the sides of the tang were 90º and had a matching inlet in the stock? Exactly , this was a major change to the receiver as it was easier to produce ,more durable , no...

That's why I live on a mountain top.

Me too, about two three days in the flat lands and I'm done and heading home to the mountains.

Pat C

I prefer the high ground myself

Pat C

There are four or five currently on ebay for $20-$23 , one even has reloading manual with it for $23.

Pat C

Just snagged a like new 1996 copy for $10.95 on ebay

Pat C

The change also devoid of tang peep sight hole and Winchester trademark

Pat C

And the post war tang

Pat C

Somebody asked on anouther site ,sure most know the main differences. But here were a few pics I took of the main change. Pre war up through 1.4 mil + the model 94 receiver tang fit into a mortised inlet where wood met metal. Sides were tapered about 20 degrees. Somewhat fragile area. Post war recei...

I have a 67 same time period 2nd variation I guess you would say.Belonged to my Father n laws Grandad.

Pat C

Four hours of mowing ,two hours weed eating ,wore out .Went inside grabbed trusty 29B offhand at 25 yards ,10 shots. Just can't beat them.

Pat C

Nice rifles but only one thing missing , some targets showing how well they do!

Pat C

Nice ,reminds me of bow making.

Pat C

Very nice, quite a unique piece.

Pat C

Nice , I see the ledger states 2" longer stock with 1" more drop. Appears to have Lyman patent bead front sight .
1 pound heavier barrel .

I wonder what was done when returned to factory?
Almost wonder if barrel was shortened to reduce weight ?
May have been heavier than expected.

Pat C

Certainly an unusual configuration , I guess I missed it no mention of barrel length ?

Pat C

Hang in there , don't know what ales you but hopefully some help is around the corner. I'll say a prayer for you.I think you have made a pretty good impact as seen here in these responses.

Pat C

I thought any gun was parlor gun as long as it had a maxim Silencer

Pat C

Looks like a Flobert round to me.

Pat C

Sorry for your loss , time will heal .

Pat C

Pretty bad storm ,you had a guardian angel watching out.
These weird storms are the norm now unfortunately.

Pat C

I'd like to find an old beater Blackhawk for custom sixgun.

Pat C

I really like the short barreled sixguns ,that would be take only in 38 WCF. to go with my 1892 short rifle.

Pat C

Never seen these imports before. Will have to check them out.

Pat C

Looks like a shooter

Pat C

A short barreled 38 WCF old model with bone charcoal frame,hammer gate. On the list of to do's.

Pat C

The 552 has standard chamber , it's the 550-1 that has floating chamber.

This rifle was Dad's , 1982 . Had never been all the way down until last year I did a major clean up .

Pat C

The dirtiest shooting rifle ever made is also very accurate.
Finally found what this old rifle likes Norma Tac 22
1 1/2" group standing offhand

Pat C

Sounds like someone tried to drive it straight out. They are radial dovetails. You pull tube part way out and use tube as a turning aid. To rotate out.

Round barrels are worst for wear to dovetail ,once damaged going oversize and or tig welding is about all you can do.

Pat C

I get bogus emails all the time that say , thanks for your purchase here is your PP invoice. With a link .

Pat C

I really like the black checkered original grips I think I may try to find me a shooter this year sometime.

Pat C

Some of the old Iver Johnson adds

Pat C

Answered my own question ,NO black powder cartridge does not leave burn rings around chambers. At least not Pyrodex.

Pat C

Found four slugs

Pat C

All rounds went through wood target backing and hit 1" thick rubber con Conveyor backing. I found one lying below. I'll look for others later.

Pat C

That was six o'clock hold at 15 ,shoots really high to sights.

Pat C

Pulled bullets and loaded 5 test rounds , filled case with Pyrodex RS to within 3/16 .Just enough for light compression. Had to make a crimp tool as I don't reload. Bored hole in R6 cable crimper. To .380 with .375 at edge. Worked perfect. Eyeballed the loads but as you see shot excellent 15 yards h...

Pat C

Yeah has that nice plum frame blue .People complained about it originally so much Ruger put a notice out .They would attempt to reblue but no guarantees it would be better. Blaming it on tge 4140 casting.Today people go nuts over the color.

Pat C

Yeah ,I like it a lot . One of these days stars will align and I'll own one.

Pat C

I believe those are Judd's sling swivels I have a set somewhere. 50's,60's maybe not 100% Screw holes added for side peep. Still a nice old as found deer rifle from the day.

Pat C

Beautiful animal, sorry to here this.

Pat C

That's right I saw earlier post here about it , the case hardened finish one was steel IIRC.

Pat C

Haven't seen any of those, what's the model called ?

Pat C

Part of the barrel forging .

Pat C
