#WINCHESTER 94AE TRAPPER.357 FULL#
44 mag, its other chambering-though still not a lot of them either) and therefore commands even higher prices.but these are excellent-many feel the best of all the modern-era 92s made.
The 92 trapper (and probably the 94 also) carries about 6-7, and out of the 20" regular carbine about 10, depending on the cartridge tube follower/spring etc. Stick with the '92 as a few have said.a much (much) better pistol-caliber design. Particular gun or manufacturer issues, not the design. 357 Puma and HAVE had feeding issues with it. 44 Mag and have never had any feeding issues. Any idea why the Marlin cost so much more there? I like the XS Scout mount for it and the lack of a rebounding hammer. They put lots of rounds through guns like that and probably know about the issues they have and know lots of tricks and tips on getting them to work right.įWIW I like the Marlin better myself. You might check on a forum dedicated to Cowboy Action Shooting or maybe and get some input from those people. All the standard length rounds I tried worked fine. It seemed to me that if the cartridge was too long it had feeding trouble. That bullet had a much wider flat point and the cartridge overall length was about the same as the 240gr. The lifter had trouble getting that round into the chamber when I cycled the action quickly.
The overall length was greater than the typical 240gr. truncated cone loads with a long nose and a small diameter flat on the front. 44mag and the ammo it had trouble with had bullets that were loaded long. 357 model or if this is characteristic of all M94s, but I was playing with a M94 in. 357 because I've heard the bullets get some decent amoutn of extra velocity over pistol barrel lengths with almost no recoil and muzzle climb but with a lot more rounds in the magazine than. I would like to take it every now and then to the range for 50yds fun plinking, is it accurate enough? So how many rounds does it hold? Does it cycle without any problems? Is the rifle reliable? Is the action hard to field strip for cleaning? I just cycled one dummy round and it felt awesome smooth even bone dry, a bit loose maybe. I've seen a factory new Winchester 94 model trapper (the really short one) in. I am not from the US and semi-auto rifles are pretty hard to get and I always had a soft spot for lever action rifles. I live alone in a remote location in a house with brick wall so overpenetration is no issue. I am looking for a short and handy fast repeating knock-around rifle for home defence.
