Win Model 94 .30-30 difficult to load.
« on: May 25, 2011, 03:29:23 PM »
I just bought a Winchester Model 94 in .30-30 that is difficult to load. I have to almost shove my finger into the gun to get the round to set. I tried the same on my father-in-law's model 94 with the same results.

Is this common? Is there a fix?

That should only be a problem on the last round you load. otherwise push the round in with the base still sticking out and use the next round to finish pushing it in, quick and easy.
