Howdy,
I didn't see a 94 Winchester section so I thought I post here.
I have a 94AE, the magazine tube is a bit loose in the barrel band. I can move it about 0.011 up and down fore and aft. There is a pin that threads into and through the cap to position the tube in the correct position. Is it the barrel band that holds the tube tight to the barrel or does the cap pin have the job of securing it. I took the forestock and magazine off when I stripped the rifle down for cleaning but can't see anything too out of the ordinary. I've tightened the bands and the pin as tight as I dare but I still have movement. Perhaps the front barrel band is too large?
The serial number of the rifle is 6241309 which would put it around 1992-3 after FN took over Winchester and was supposed to be making them with better quality than when Olin was doing it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Al
