Well, just felt like bumping this thread as I just picked up a little piece of history. I now have a Winchester model 94, made in 1976 according to serial number. So the piece is older than me, but has only had 10 rounds put through it!

A friend of mine was given it by the original owner, who had never shot it... just soaked it down with a really cheap lube and stored it. The lube coagulated/solidified and had the whole thing jammed. My friend brought it to a gun shop that disassembled it and soaked it for months, then cleaned and reassembled it. When they handed it back to him they said it was essentially a brand new rifle! He went to the range and put 10 rounds through it, which to date is the only time it was made. So now he sold it to me for what he had in it after the gun shop..... so I got it for a steal of a price! Will put a few rounds through it this weekend and will take pics if I remember...
