The rifle is 36 inches in length looked it up on winchester site but their is so many model 94's couldn't tell what type it was. after cleaning it up what a nice little lever action 30-30. anywho like to date it and was wondering if their was a special 30 cal ammo for it as well thanks for any help..

"how do i date a rifle?"

Bring her flowers and ask her out for something simple, like coffee. See if you share any common interests, and then set another date. Make her laugh, they love that. Be a gentleman at all times.

I personally like to date women, but each to their own...:lol:

I would also be careful, it can be like playing with a loaded gun. Some may have "hair triggers" if you become to intimate to early.

Be Careful, RR

dating a rifle eh? wow, you guys are some kinda serious about your hunting. Best bet seems serial number, if there's an email on the winchester site or something, though kechika seems to have'er figured

You can probably date your '94 Winchester (and many other makes and models) here:

Buying a rifle flowers? Come'on fisher-dude those near-beers are really going to your head.

Back to the question.

I'm not sure if your rifle is male/female and in the name of political corectness I'll term your date as gun! :smile:

Gun should have its bore cleaned every so often, use a good solvent. Lube the outside with a good oil and always buy premium bullets.

Should get you started.

Yep.......Nosler Partitions :lol:


Actually any 30-30 Factory 170 gr. ammo will do the trick 8)
