    Hello Buck...

    Winchester made LOTS of Model 1894/94 (and its variant Models, the 55 and 64) with the Takedown frame. However, if you are trying to convert a standard solid frame Model 1894/94 to a Takedown... it is not mechanically possible unless you create a totally different style of takedown method/system from scratch. Way too many of the parts are different on an original Winchester Takedown Rifle versus a solid frame.

    Hacksaw, duct tape & some chopsticks. But once you "take it down", you may have problems with reassembly.

    If you know it all; you must have been listening.<br>WEAR EAR PROTECTION!

    Buck, contact the NRA,They had a article to
    convert a 94 to a takedown (post 64's)
    the article was in the American Rifle mag
    SINCE you are a member they will send you a reprint

    They convert Marlins, but they could probably do a 94 also. I saw these guys at the Shot Show, and I was VERY impressed with the quality.

    Buck E,

    Jody mentioned an article. I have an old NRA gunsmithing book that has that article in it. I showed it too a friend that is a welder and sometime metal worker and he had complete confidence he could do it. And do it "right"!!
