This is from a dim memory, but I seem to remember that they came up with the set screw in the lever to keep Chuck Connors from impaling his finger on the trigger.
Winchester query, please humor me.

Very nice
I have three commemorative winnies, 2 never shot .22, and one never shot 30/30 musket style, but the 1959 is a great piece, dead eye and fun to shoot, even though it appears I'm complaining about loading ( I guess in a way I am ) but fun just the same.I have a 1950 Winchester Model 94 and several post-1964 Winchester Model 94s (all in 30/30).
The pre-1964 rifles have more forged parts inside, but they all load the same way. The only difference is a plus ~30%-50% $ premium for the older one.
This is a 1950 Winchester 94 in great condition:
Boxes
My three have the boxes also along with the brown paper and tags, all three are mid 70s, same as you all I want them for are hand downs to my son, but the boxes are the cool part and why they are put away for safekeeping, my old man gave me a 44/40 marlin he traded for in the 20s, also a great story and an 1892 heritage.
I have so much fun with guns and being kanadian I am so against the grain I love it.

Well - you got me wondering, so I had to go check. I recently picked up a Win. 94 that just happens to be the same age as I am. We were both launched in 1958.
I have yet to fire it, so I wasn't sure about the loading on this one, but it happily lets you load one and completely allow the gate to close, and by simply pushing down on the gate, it will allow another to load.
So I guess this one was put together "correctly".
Have a good weekend,

I keep a fully loaded 30-30 Model 94 with one in the chamber, hammer down, next to the night stand, with a large flashlight. Easy to grab when outside strange sounds wake me up. Loudest sound so far was when a drunk driver ran into the front porch steps. I held him in his wrecked car until the Police came and took him away.
His car insurance company and my house insurance company were the same company,,, State Farm,,, and repairs were started on my front porch the next day!
Yes, I am a retired Federal Police Officer, live in a small town in the Eastern High Sierra's in Bishop, CA. I was the District Ranger up here for many,many years.

Seems like I remember that, but I'm trying to think back over 60 years ago!
fyi, make sure you clean the magazine tube. My cousin had a m-94 lying on the the couch and I picked it up, he said it was unloaded put when I opened the action to verify it I saw a round stuck in the magazine tube. All I can figure was it was a cold damp day during deer season and the round hung up either from being frozen or some other debris
