Where can I find unprimed brass for the winchester model-94 356 caliber. I have been looking for over a year, the gun is not much good if can not find brass to reload. A box of shells are 75.00 dollars which is not very good for me.
Bought one a month ago. Great rifle.
Wood to metal fit is perfect. Great blue/
black metal finish. Shoots 38sp and 357
without a problem and accurately.No rebounding
hammer. Half cock hammer safety. Oiled wood finish.
Just like a original.
@chuckfab,side mount scopes suck !
A “genuine Winchester”? In the words of the philosopher: “Not hardly”.
The Winchester does not even come close to looking as good as the other replica model 1873’s already on the market. Companies like EMF, Uberti, Taylor & Co., and especially Cimmaron produce a significantly more esthetically pleasing weapon, with more barrel lengths and caliber options.
I agree with Bob and i am still upset because a panic occurred when they announced production being shut down then started back up.
If only it was Made in America-not Japan!
@Bob,the original Winchester 1873 44-40 weren’t made in Japan ! Back then all American weapons were made in America, not Japan ! I have a Winchester model 94 30-30 I bought in ’79 and it wasn’t made in Japan either. New Haven,Conn.
