    Spare Parts for Model '94 Winchester?

    What spare parts should I procure for my new (to me) Model '94 Winchester?

    Where can I find brass?

    I cant help with spares, mine is not a high volume shooter and has not broken any parts in 40-ish years.

    I assume you are looking for 30-30 brass? https://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog...roductId/75588

    There are new cases available, have to search the web.

    I got most of my 30-30 brass from the shooting range

    I have marlin 1894’s
    Never broke a part, but I have spare ejector springs and hammer springs on hand. Might want a mag spring as well if it is a high volume shooter.

    Just enough to load the primers and bullets I have. Got some inbound from Graf's. Thank you. Live on a farm so no range pick ups. Have some on backorder from Starline.

    If you order a spare firing pin, determine if your Model 94 is pre-64 or post-64. You can research your serial number online to determine year of manufacture.

    I really like reloading the 30-30, probably due to the connection with the past. Load data is out there for a huge range of powders, brass life is good if you don't get carried away resizing, and it uses less powder per round than the 30-06 or .45-70.

    As I mentioned, I have had no issues with my Win 94, but I have broken 2 loading gates on my other lever guns. Of course, a set of screwdrivers or bits made for the 94's screws is a good investment.

    In addition to the items mentioned, I ordered a set of screws for both my old Marlins from Numerich after losing a front barrel band screw in the boonies of Central AZ. Wayne

    What caliber? 94's come in a variety of flavors, kind of like the AR.

    I use Ranger Point Store, but I think they're more into aftermarket stuff. https://rangerpointstore.com/categor...rms-parts.html Also https://www.midwestgunworks.com/winc...-94/parts.html

    I have a early 70s prod. Mod 94 in 30-30 that’s been in the family since the late 70s.
    Never broke.
    In general, for spare parts a firing pin and extractor are a good idea for any rifle but a 94 doesn’t have any serious flaws or parts that are prone to break. Springs are good to have as they are a wear item but it’s gonna be a LONG time before that’s an issue.

    I’m not a big ‘lever gun’ guy but as a young lad my dad and I reloaded a lot of .44spl & 30-30 with cheap bullets we cast ourselves, back when tire shops would GIVE away free wheel weight lead. Revolvers & lever guns are not picky when it comes to feeding and I came to appreciate the practicality of a tube fed lever gun.
