1894 tang swap
I haven't attempted this, but can a post 64 lower tang be easily adapted to fit a turn of the century 1894 Winchester action? The one I have is a PG tang from one of those NRA guns from 1970. The holes "appear" to line up so that the flat mainspring can be installed on the newer tang. Got any advise?

Re: 1894 tang swap
Mike,
I'm not positive about the tang itself. I know the pre-64s and some of the early post-64s have a square boss on each side that mates to slots on the inside of the receiver. Weather or not this will match up I don't know.
However I do know that the mainspring, trigger, sear, hammer and I think maybe the trigger stop and spring are different. I'm not at all sure the parts with interchange.
I'll bet 20 cows or Griff ( where ever he is ) knows.

Joe, this tang has the two square bosses that you referred to. When I get my hands on an older action, I'll know for sure whether or not it can be adapted.

Re: 1894 tang swap
Hmmm, tang swap...
I'm trying to be decent and upright here, but...
Is that like "Wife Swap"?
I'm jk...
Let us know how it works out.

Not that kind'a "tang", Scott.
