Like a fool I jumped both feet right smack into a project I though might make a great winter project.
Gun tinker hubby died, left house stuffed with all manner of busted guns.
I found a winchester 94 hanging by lever on a nail in the corner of the shop (stripped of wood,
magazine and sights)
The upper tang was broken and patched.
Thinking it'd be a neat tig weld project.
Thinking it broke wierd so did some digging the s/n 4,76×,××× places it around 1979?
Little more reading the post 64 winchester model 94 receiver is some sort of cintered metal.
It appears to have been a wreck and first breaking the upper tang.
The tang was patch repaired using a thick brass, blind rivets and possibly epoxied together.
The patch is bent and one the rivets is obviously sheared.
Not too sure what direction to go with this patch and rivets.
