Fitness Report on a new oldy

[Taylor-Made]

I picked up a Winchester Model 94 earlier today. The Serial number indicates it was built in 1901. I bought it to be a collector, however, there is no way I could put it away in the case without ever firing it. Anybody suggest a gunsmith in the Calgary area to give it a once over to make sure I don't blow it or myself up.

I already have a rifle at Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply...I assume by the line of business they are in that an elderly lever action wouldn't exactly be excepted

Rick at Alberta Tactical is very good but specialises in tactical, and long distance percision, large caliber. Does great metal work, barrel fitting etc. Admits wood is not one of his favourite mediums and as your previous post says, old lever guns in 30-30 would not likely be something he works on a lot.

The smith at Pro-line did a small job for me on a lever gun, he is good, fast and used to working on that type of gun. They sell a lot of cowboy action guns; revolvers, single shots and replica lever guns.

Have heard good things about the two at Shooters edge but never used them my self. Henry Rempel is a great smith but likely booked to the ears with hunting seasoon being near. If you are in no rush he would be my top pick for that type of gun in Calgary.
