Winchester Model 94 Barrel Steel
Hello to all, I have three questions regarding a 1928 manufacture model 94 carbine I picked up yesterday. What year did Winchester improve the steel of their 94's to be stronger. And how did the Winchester 94's of this era handle the erosion of jacketed bullets. I mostly plan on shooting cast in it but it would be nice to know. I also was also curious on what methods people use to remove lightly rusted areas without damaging the bluing, this rifle has some rust that I would like to attempt to remove if it makes sense. Or at the vary least reduce and treat. My current plan is to use 0000 steel wool and some Ed's red and lightly rub the afflicted areas. Any thoughts or methods would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some pictures of they help
