Winchester 94 post 64 saddle ring

tone59

I plan to replace the missing saddle ring on a recently acquired Winchester 94 Trapper.

The only rings I have found for sale online look to have been stretched or pulled open at the split to remove from the mount making it impossible to close them all the way.

I hope to find one in nice condition that has been twisted to open.
I may have to purchase a mount and ring together then remove the ring.

I would appreciate comments from anyone that has tried this before.
Ill be working with a post 64 ring made from 5/32in. wire not the thicker 11/64in. pre 64 type ring.

Comments? suggestions?

Thank You

You could possibly use a stretched ring by twisting it to the side and then squeezing it to reduce the diameter so the ends meet when twisted back after installing on the stud.

I may have to give that a try.
Thank You Jim Rehm.
