Bubba usually lives in California. More confidence than brains.

This guy's name is Bubba !

He is going to screw it up is what he is going to do.

05-26-2024 Memorial Day weekend here in Savannah GA. I have a 1953 year model 94 that I have been working on for a few months. Was in really poor condition but I have been able to re-do the ood and it has come out beautiful. Had to order replacement parts and had two made from scratch but she is working well now. Waiting on the last coat of Tung Oil to cure so I can re-assemble and check it out. These things are really cool and well worth the effort to bring back to life. They don't make them like this anymore. Thanks for the video.

Well done brother

Too many comments here are about money. This is the horror of today's world. None of you heard him. It's a family heirloom to use. These grifters today make me angry. Nice work sir. May your family enjoy this beauty for what it is. Part of you and yours

I have basically the same '94 with the saddle ring from my dad , whilst you technically may have done a good job seems to me you lost all the originality and now it just a sum of parts that hold no nostalgia

The hardest part of this is to get the piece to screw in the handle hole. Where to get that??

It’s not original anymore

Great video, you got lots of fancy tools and techniques to beef up a cheap work bench. Love your new bench!!

Awesome first guitar project. I learned from your mistakes as well. I have built quite a few CBGs but have no experience with a solid body. I have always wanted to do a solid body but I am still studying KZbin first. ha ha ha! I am a graduate of KZbin University with several majors. Let's just say I am still a student. You didn't fail on your solid body unless you quit trying. Play around with cigar box guitars then it's cheaper to learn from your mistakes. I love what you had going on in your first build.

I have one from 1916 and was once used by LAPD in California with a lot number 117 on the buttstock.

If you don't have a bench grinder this is a great idea. Not sure what disc grit is good for sharpening i'm mainly interested in sharpening drill bits.

very good, I'm Caetano from Brazil - I a lover of Winchesters, we have many here, I've even repaired several of them - the big difficulty is parts - but I'm an engineer so I end up making the parts...

I wish you were a neighbor and you could restore mine😊😊

Your yellow yellow butane torch is actually the best to use because usually you only want the metal to go to a yellow color before it goes to purple or black that way you don't lose your temper in the metal and oil quenching is a great idea but I still think the oil should have been warmed up the oil first to actually slow down that process it makes everything better I basically got the same 30/30 and I have to restoration on it too thank you very much for your input I've been soaking mine for about 2 years now to get rid of the rust it is shotable but I'm like you I want to look like a pretty gun again just like my Browning s yes Johnny Browning design them 😊😊

Looks nice. Well done. Cheers!

Just clamp the handle of the angle grinder to the bench vice no?

you never restore a gun like that, lost value. Overall cleaning was the right thing to do, but again it's you gun

Would not clean up that gun.only oil.😊😊😊

Dude" the speaker goes inside the box

Cleaning and touching up hardware and areas where they are prone to scuffing and abrasion with chemical ”cold” bluing and the use of CLP was routine maintenance, over the years after the first 1894 was issued, then sold at auction after the wars to be made available to the US sporting market, the original finish was most likely touched up everywhere on the metal surfaces, a few times by 1994, and it’s 130th birthday sometime after New Year’s Eve 01/01/2024, since excessive heating of the firearm wasn’t necessary to achieve a uniform finish, neither was it necessary to re-blue the entire rifle, because the touch-up matched so well and the gun finish wasn’t stripped, but rather had another layer of protective surface treatment done to it, it still has its original layer of bluing beneath. Technically speaking, (No 1,000°f + Heated Salt Bath to strip and draw out the etch bound chemically transitioned substrate, which would be a bad bad bad no no!

california. says alot about your choice to screw up your gun could have steamed and carded it. bluewould have come back

I screwed two of these HF benches together back to back, added diagonal cross braces to prevent racking and ended up with a decent sized, functional workbench for minimal cost.

Holy cow... chucking a round file in a drill!? Why have I never thought of this, or seen anyone else doing this?! Genius!

Bill, Two things: Watch some of the Comp shooters clean their rifles with chemicals and a Dewey rod with Parker Hale style jag. Go from the breech ( you had everything apart) to the muzzle, unscrew the jag, take off and gently pull the rod back out. Never Never! Run the rod back and forth across the muzzle. Use Wilson combat rifle lube on ALL internal parts, moving or not. Wipe off excess. I would have cleaned and reblued everything. I’m a car guy, would your Lady rather ride in a beautifully restored and painted car or one where her dress rubs on rusty metal and gets spots? Most Men are body/paint guys or Mechanics, rarely both.

Well, Hey. Fits in the garage well

You destroyed it

Don’t restore old firearms, makes them worth less than what they would be. Happens a lot though. That rifle was gorgeous as it was!

You missed one thing Old heirloom guns collect character and patina along their years of journey. You just took that all away. But it’s your gun your video and I have no problem with that. I personally would have never done that. Just a good cleaning up functions test that would’ve been it.

Miss you man. I miss the podcast too! I hope your doing well.

Leaving the receiver and other parts in the white was probably not a good decision.

Using a torch above a basin of motor oil may not be a safe practice.

Heirlooms are typically unrestored. It’s not just about turning dollars into nickels.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

Is the action on it high? Since the neck doesn't go thru the box.

Great video ! I just picked up a 1950 Model 94 and need to restore the butt and forearm . What is the name of your steamer and where did you buy it . Thats so COOL !! Thanks

My Dad bought his Winchester Model 73 in 38-40 in 1935....It had been shot and worn pretty badly during that 24 years since 1911....Since My Dad bought it it has been shot only about 15 times and we will keep it as it is....

I have had my Winchester 94 in 30-30 for 63 years and it is in near perfect condition....I used to get it out in the off season and just smell the wood because it smelled like the Florida everglades....Have a blessed day....

i was recently got the family 1894 saddle carbine 30-30 from 1907 (it's been in the family from original purchase date) still shoots true and is beautiful

I got 2 94s andim here to say do whst you want too. Most importantly enjoy yourself. Im loving the show

Part of me puked just watching you do that.

Contrary to some people's comments, I think you did a nice job on it. I understand the originality of an antique. I have one that is 85 yrs old, and it shows wear, but that is history. It has taken down a lot of deer. Nice video and great job. 👍

Clean & restore to working condition removing rust in a way that preserves the original finish, absolutely. But by striping the original finish away you have really destroyed the character & history of the rifle. Although you may be happy with the outcome your surviving family will most likely be saddened that you touched it.

I like the old look myself,but that’s here nor there.. you seem like you enjoyed what you were doing and that’s all that counts..I like the personality as well..good luck

Yep your going to ruin it
