  1. Ok Mr. Cholla Thanks for noticing that. It was not intended. I will go to work on that. Look out there later for the new shots
  2. Excellent Model 10 with hard to find 6” Barrel, 6 Shot, Serial Number is C98xxxx which indexes to circa 1967 Manufacture date. Chambered in 38 Special. General Features: SA/DA trigger, 6 Inch pinned & tapered pencil barrel, 1/8” front sight width as consistent with the 10-5 production modification, 7.375” sight radius, square walnut stocks, case colored hammer & trigger, pre-lock action, pinned firing pin, blued finish, original box and wax paper wrapping. I have had this for over twenty years and I have never fired it. It lives in a humidity controlled safe and gets occasional careful wiping in admiration, with a suitable gun cloth. It may have been lightly fired by prior owner but it is hard to tell much. Under magnification, some light powder residue can be found on forcing cone area. As usual, there would have been some test firing at the factory. Observations: Overall condition and finish is excellent, with very little handling evidence (arguably a 98 % gun). Forget holster wear - there is none. It is highly doubtful that this gun was ever issued to a LEO for any duty. Bore is bright, rifling is clear and true. Muzzle crown is clean and symmetrical. Cylinder charge holes are distinctly reflective. Knurling on cylinder thumb release and hammer spur is sharp and retains a factory new patina. Cylinder face has practically no evidence of burn rings. Action lock-up is constantly tight in all cylinder positions. Cylinder turn line is very faint. Checkering on Stocks is sharp and looks factory new. Some normal factory tool marks visible on yoke / crane when open. Screws show no signs of tinkering. Trigger pull in SA is clean and light, in DA pull is consistent with a new S&W from that era (no slop in pull or reset). Original box has slight crease on side, maybe from hammer spur contact from the inside the box. Nothing else in box. This may be worthy of collecting, but it could also become a really classy shooter or companion. It would deserve a very fine holster. I do see S&W revolvers from time to time out here on our SASS Wire, so I am offering it here before I try another web venue. I am asking $575 including shipping to your FFL. As usual, a simple “i’ll take it” works well. Your pard, T. Bone Pickins
  3. Just parted with my dear Winchester 94 Commemorative in 38-55 Win, to a fine pard on this SASS Wire. Now I have collected a small bag of treats for 38-55 shooters. Goodies include: 2 - Boxes of Black Hills Cowboy Ammo in 38-55 (40 Rounds) 84 - Pieces of once fired 38-55 Brass, turbo-tumbler cleaned (a handful with new primers) 1 - Pair of brand new A-Zoom Snap Caps for 38-55 Five (empty) of Cheyenne Cartridge Boxes, Period Antique replica 38-55 Winchester Graphic, 20 Round / box, from Buffalo Arms Co. All shipping paid for you to your door in Con US for $100. I will not break up the bag. Doggie stays with me! Thanks, T. Bone Pickins
  4. Hello Sir I do not provide information or sales to Non SASS Members. Thanks and good luck
  5. This is the Oliver F. Winchester 1894 Commemorative to celebrate the founders historic contributions. Built in the New Haven, Conn. factory in 1980 as a limited production run. The rifle has a long list of distinguishing features and is chambered for the 38-55 Win cartridge. Receiver and accents wash-electroplated with real gold (only $75 per ounce back then, compared to $3300 / Oz. today). It has a 24” blued octagon barrel, full length magazine tube for 6+1 shot capacity, and oil rubbed, fancy grade, walnut stocks. The gun is in near new condition, easily in 97% shape, with very, very slight handling marks. Bore is bright with clear rifling. LOP is 13-3/8”, loaded weight - 7.5 lbs., sights are semi-buckhorn with elevation adjust, and front post. Other unique features as follows: The left shoulder of the barrel is marked “WINCHESTER MODEL 94 38-55 WIN / MADE IN NEW HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. WINCHESTER PROOF STEEL”. The right shoulder of the barrel is marked “Oliver F. Winchester" in cursive, engraved signature with gold highlight. The receiver has scroll image engraving showing a standing shooter on one side, and a depiction of the WRA New Haven manufacturing plant on the other side. The Mag Tube is topped with a gold finished cap and the fore end stock is capped in a gold nosepiece. Beautiful Walnut Stocks are with excellent sharp checkering bordered with Fleur-de-Lis figuring. Gold Medallion of the Founder in-set on the stock on the loading gate side. Steel butt plate is blued and mirror polished. Lever is leather wrapped. Though the 38-55 cartridge has a Black Powder legacy, I have never used any BP in order to prevent tarnishing to the action or the receiver. I have put less than 150 rounds through for sure. The rifle has spent quality time in my humidity-controlled safe. I have fired this gun "off hand" in just a few Cowboy Side Matches for 200 Yard Steel Silhouettes (winning one match). With my eyesight degrading and wobbly posture, the gun shoots way better than I do.. It comes complete with original fitted foam box, papers, and sleeve (Outer sleeve has taken on some wear being stored in my attic.) Included also is a box of Black Hills (20 count) 38-55 Ammo. This one is yours for $995. Seller Pays the shipping in Con US. Buyer pays their own customary FFL fee on the receiving end. USD. ConUS only. Gun Vise and Golden Retriever are not included in the sale. Best of Luck Shopping, T. Bone Pickins
