Puzzle Six is on the way!
It is said to be '66 Centenial. I gave a little too much for it, but it contains most of the parts. Hopefully most are useful. It is a similar vintage to Puzzle Four.
Oh, it's going to be an SRC!

Wow! Just what I'd need to build my .44 Mag. I'm sitting on a nice new barrel and some other parts too.

Re: Puzzle Six is on the way!
20cows, I believe that it would be a '64 or so vintage "Antique" with it's SRC and color cased finish. The '66 Centennials were "brass" colored. If it had the gold spring cover (loading gate) it would be a clincher.

Re: Puzzle Six is on the way!
Didn't the Antiques have a little engraving on the receiver, or am I thinking of another one?

Re: Puzzle Six is on the way!
I was watching that on Aution Arms. I almost bid on it.
Glad I didn't.
Can't wait to see how it turns out

Re: Puzzle Six is on the way!
I am only guessing at this, perhaps a Centennial that has been stripped of its finish, Looks old timey
to me .
On a similar action I have been fooling with, the hammer screw for the post 64 model 94 seems
to be odd or rare as far as the availability of a replacement goes.
I tried a pre 64 screw and it is different , the parts companies I have tried do not offer the screw.
Any suggestions on getting one will be much appreciated.
Best Regards,creosote

Re: Puzzle Six is on the way!
I forget the thread size & pitch, but... careful here, don't let this catch on, but you can get a screw from your local hardware store that will hold that two piece mainspring in place... unless you're a purist... then you might try someone like on this list: Obsolete Parts for Winchester Firearms, ask for a Numrich # 5594X... oh heck it's available from Numrich now under Mainspring Screw (Between 2,700,000 & 4,580,000)

Call Browning / Winchester. The post-64 Hammer Screw is the same as the latest Angle Reject Hammer Screw.
I got both and the parts are identical.

Re: Puzzle Six is on the way!
Yep, Joe is right, I was trying to reply to too many posts at the same time and kept reading "mainspring screw", in fact the hammer screw and the Link/frame screw for the post-64's are the same.J Miller wrote:Creosote,creosote wrote:I am only guessing at this, perhaps a Centennial that has been stripped of its finish, Looks old timey

Is that receiver of a different serial number range? Almost all the commemorative were serial numbered separately from the standard production guns.

Re: Puzzle Six is on the way!
All I've seen of it so far are those two pictures and the serial no. was not provided. The auction described it as a '66 Centenial and I didn't remember what that looked like specifically, but neither did it matter to me. All I could tell was it was a post-64 SRC action, which I could work with.
