hunting with a Win 94 Trapper 16"

[Paul_M]

I have a Winchester 94 Trapper with a 16" bbl. I heard recently that this rifle is illegal for hunting in Ontario because of the bbl length. It's not restricted, but I can't hunt with it. Is this true? Please confirm..... Thanks nuts.

 

[Levi Garrett]

Its non restricted, so no worries, and as accurate as the std 94, an excellent brush gun choice, good hunting.

Happy hunting, you have been misinformed.
The 16" BBL on a Mod. 94 Lever gun is A-OK...as long as its a factory BBL and not a standard 94 cut down.

 

[JohnC]

no way is it illegal for hunting.

what caliber is it?

 

[Paul_M]

it's a .30-30

 

[Meanea]

A new 1 or a 1900 1?
Meanea

You lucky SOB!

That's what I use as well. A nice 1894 Trapper in terdy-terdy!!

Good for carrying around without banging about and accurate....as long as I am on the ball that is.

I use the exact same gun for deer and once got stopped by two Co's in the field. One of them said" hey that doesn't look legal" but the older of the two said "yes it is, it came from the factory like that". Great gun for shorter distance shots, light and doesn't get caught on everything while dogging.

Oh by the way, I had it dipped in camo in Quebec and it looks great. If I knew how to post pics I'd post the pics.
Some of the blueing got pitted, I had it redone but it just didn't look good so I thought I'd try the dip.
I think I see how to post, I'll give it a try.

 

[iggy]

well I tried

 

[coltfan]

IGGY.....I fixed your post......

 

[John Y Cannuck]

I've seen a lot of stuff done to a '94, and most are just ugly.
That looks cool.

 

[Calum]

That looks great!

OK...who does this kind of camo work out here in BC?
I want to paint my 1966 model 94 like that.

Don't ever lean it against a tree and turn your back on it !

 

[dumbdawg]

i guess you also bring a metal detector hunting with ya

 

[iggy]

HEY COLTFAN THANKS A LOT
How'd you do that?
Your right about the camo in the bush. I tape a real small strip of orange trail tape one of the clips
It was done by Buck Experts last year, has been through one year of deer hunting and held up real well.

Do they have a web site?

Wile Im not sure about the 16" 30-30 for magazine capacity. But would other lever guns that hold more than 5 rds in the tube have to be modified for hunting?

 

[Bittermansbro]

The 16" holds four, and with one in loaded, five.
