Beautiful worn patina, used but not abused. If this thing could talk...
Question though, is the slop in the trigger normal? It breaks and functions fine, it's just that there's some slop in it.  Attached File |

Beautiful old looking girl there. Mine's a bit older and doesn't have any 'slop' in the trigger.

Slop as in it is loose and swings if you don't have a finger on the trigger? Normal in my experience.

Nice!
 I have a 1948 dated gun that belonged to my late FIL. If yours is chambered in .25-35 I have something for you.

Only a year younger than my old Flatfender! Would have been cool to find a '47 model 94 as well. Either way, it would do great in a scabbard mounted to the inside of the windshield frame. Perfect for cruising around Cecil Webb! Min'se a 30-30, I was adamant to find one in a more common caliber. Thank you though!!

I'm curious now. I have a 1976 Model 94 and I'll have to check it out.

My 1974-ish model had the floppy trigger.
With that cheesy sort of “grip safety” that required you to compress the lever against the butt to move the trigger block out of the way of the trigger. Kinda wish I still had that rifle. But I don’t miss that trigger a bit. |

They all do the swing, as designed. I am not gonna mess with lever rifle perfection, the guys who made it that way were smarter than me. |

But I don’t miss that trigger a bit. Is that grip safety actually supposed to work? I've got a gently used 94 with a hair trigger and that joker does not engage. It's either been 'Bubba'd' or worn out. |
