I posted on Rusty P. Bucket's Winchester Commemorative rifle value thread about a very positive experience I had today with a circa 1967 Win 94 "Centennial" in .30-30.
For an account of how sweet this almost NIB commemorative shot, please go to:

Only problem is that my friend's rifle probably has a headspace issue. Spent factory brass shows clear signs of stretching above the head, and the struck primers are proud of the base, so much so the empty case can barely stand. I did not measure these parameters but could if that would help you give your opinion.
- Should this be a case of too much headspace, do you know if the mid-60s 94s can have their headspace reduced, and how ?
- Is this a common occurence with 94s?
- Is it a danger if the owner only shoots factory ammo?
