What Extra Parts for Winchesters do you need
I have 5 Winchester Model 94s two big bore 375 ,one older 1973 30-30 and now three 94 trails end hunter 25-35s.I was wondering if I needed springs and followers and what else wears out on these?I dont see Winchester hanging around with these parts very long.

The parts on the big bore are different than the regualr 94s.I was going to get a mag spring and a follower and a few more while they are cheap.

Has anyone ever heard of a follower wearing out? I have Winchesters 100+ yrs old still on the origionals and origional mag springs. Anyone can make a mag spring for you. If I was going to stock up; I would be more worried about extractors, ejectors and firing pins along with hammers and triggers (for the sear) although any good smith could repair most of those.

You need original sights that fit the dovetails. Although there are many out there, Now is the time to get originals including tang sights. A good set of screws wont hurt as they can sometimes get buggered.
I would also get original butt plates. Especially if any of your rigs have the crescent.

I had a follower screw up on a model 92 browning and some other parts.There were very few spare parts to be found so I fixed the gun and sold it.Yep I might get a set of screws thats and the springs and follower.There are alot of different big bore parts.I think only the stocks are the same and a few more things.
