I still remember my first shot. I had my elbows out and 90 degrees, ready for this thing to blow up in my fists. :shock: After the first shot, i relaxed and enjoyed it. :D :D :D

Very nice! My first shot made the targets on either side of me flutter from the shockwave. I'll never forget that :)

The first shot on an old gun makes you want to put safety glasses on I did, The gun has very light kick lot of sun glare off snow made it more of a challenge to see 100 yard target . Spent 2 hours with 1937 winchester 1894 30-30 I took the peep sight of to take pics of mod somone did years ago should have left it alone wasted lot of time to get it back . The mosin was what eveyone wanted to try cool gun . :vcool:

Wear safety glasses when shooting any firearm, new or old. 1937 Winchester '94, cool, I love my '94, mine is 1948 I believe.

Forgot to tell what I like best it's the bolt angle I'm missing half my pointer finger so I use middle finger on trigger . The pain of the bolt hitting what's left of finger is bad . This explains why I have 4 lever guns now I have a bolt without the pain . :)
