Gunsmith Recomendation
I have a 100 year old Winchester Model 94 30 cal.rifle that I inherited from my grandfather.
I would like to have a reputable gunsmith examine the rifle and do any required maintenance. I don't believe the rifle was used often and maybe 80 years since it was last fired. It appears to be visually in great condition. Since this has sentimental value and I really don't know much about firearms of this type I thought I should hire a pro. Hope someone has knowledge in this area and can provide a quality recommendation. Thanks for your help! |
Also, a rifle of that age has no serial number. Unable to trace. It’s a keeper

I would bring it to Goodhue marine and firearms in Moultonborough. Not a gunsmith that I know of but very knowledgeable and could at least look it over.

To keep it local :
https://www.facebook.com/Anstey-Arms...3500969049714/ For vintage WW1 / WW2 weapons I couldn't fix myself or get parts for - https://georgesguns.com (as you have something vintage there) The 94 is a sweet rifle, but you for 100% sure want to be sure of the chambering. While you likely have 30 WCF (30-30 today) there were a bunch of options available, and you never know for sure what was done to it over the years until someone with the right tools and gauges checks it out. |
Civil War era rifles
I have 3 rifles, no dates or model no. All have US Army on them, one made in Lebanon NH, and the other two were made in Windsor VT.
They were my great grandfather and he came from the Windsor area. I never did anything with them until I saw this post. Took them out and look them over for any inscriptions. The only inscription was U.S. Army and place of manufacturer. A quick google and Wetmore of Lebanon and Windsor was noted for percussion target rifles. Whether these rifles were used during the war by sharpshooters is not documented but possible. They were made for civilian use. Not sure why these rifles have U.S. Army engraving. On another note my great-great grandfather and grandfather were machinists. I was told that Vermont was once the machine shop capital of the world. When the early automobile factories needed precision parts, they would come from VT. |
Thank you Bigstan....I have made contact with George!
Thanks for all the replies! |

The 94 is a sweet rifle and if it is a pre-1964 DOM even better! |

But once the OP knows they have a 30-30 they should grab some ammo and hit the range, cause those are fun to shoot :) |
Try 2A Tactical in Barrington.
