Am I On The Ledge? If So, Talk Me Down!

Post by tarbe » Thu Jul 11, 2019 7:00 pm

Ok...we're all friends here, right?

So, I have this M94 Winchester. It was made in 1960.

It is in really fine condition. Like, it looks like it is a few years old and been hunted a bit, and caught just a few bumps and bruises.

What's cool too, is it is a 32 Special...so it is a little more "interesting".

I put a Lyman receiver sight on it and it is really easy to shoot well.

I can honestly say there are only two things that detract from the rifle; 1. It has the typical heavy M94 trigger pull and 2. It isn't a Henry.

So, I am thinking about selling it, so I can use the $$ to buy another Henry.

Part of me says, Henry are always going to be there. Really nice pre-64 M94 in 32 Special is kinda rare. I should keep it.

Then I see a brass side-loader Henry and I get weak!

Help!!

Tough choice my friend. If the Henry is a 327, may be easier.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

I don't know what I am missing when it comes to the 327.

Seems like the ultimate plinker that you can shoot a hundred rounds without getting pounded.

A 1960 Winchester?? I would hold on to that one! Maybe save some bucks over time and buy the Henry later.
Any full view pics. of the 94?

Learn from someone who has learned from experience way too many times. Don't let go of the Winchester! Big mistake, and I assure you you will regret it for the rest of your life. Haven't let anything go in probably 30 years but used to buy, sell, and trade a lot. I still and will always regret so many that I let get away in the past. Henry isn't going anywhere so if money is the issue start saving some scratch and pick up the Henry to go along with the Winchester but don't let it go.

I used to own one in 32 Special. I lost it in a house fire in 2006. If I were you I'd hold on to it. Save your money for the Henry.
