Bubba had a grandpa
Wilst cleaning my new found 32 spl I came across a quandary.
What does one do when one has to tighten a sling swivel to a magazine on a mod 94 and the screw stayed out (like it is supposed to)?
Very simple system. Slide over magazine, tighten screw to hold in place. The keeper then swivels around the remaining screw.

But Clem, the screw haint gettin taight.
Grandbubba solves the mystery.

over?
Goes to prove stupidity knows no season.
For now I will live with it, but I am going to have to strip the mag down and clean it. The action was pretty coated in crud and I ended up taking the brake cleaner to it after 30 Qtips lost their lives. Upside is the bore looks bright and I think most of the crap was dust.
I think it will have to go to the smith to get that welded shut to keep water out if nothing else.

It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

Snug it up and leave it alone, because that is how it is made

Not quite my words, but, yeah.
Heck of it is is the rifle OTB (other than Bubba) is in pretty nice shape for a civilian cared for, almost 70 year old piece.

Might be cheaper and less painful to simply replace the magazine tube. Not sure how many variants there are, but Numrich seems to only want about twenty bucks.

Parent case is the 30-30 so that should work, looks like thy have a few variants in stock.. I will give them a call Mon.
Now that I have it apart, I am thinking of dressing up the stock. It isnt going to ever be a ultra desirable collector at this point, and I tend not to sell stuff anyway. I may just strip the wood a bit and refresh it with tung.
Still pondering.
I am just pondering doing the old girl at all. It really isnt bad as in cuffed up, it just looks a bit worn and there is a dirt buildup that is kind of character-ish yet more tired looking. Since she is not ever going to be original since I have to replace Grandbubbas folly it wont hurt.
I have a few days before the parts get here, wont take to long to take from where she is to a recoat.
Paddle faster!!! I hear banjos.
Reason for editing: correcting my auto correct
I got a pre 64 mag tube from Numrich, it was not the correct pre 64 mag tube. I called and sent it back with a pic of the old side by side with the one they sent me. I got a email last Fri eve. that my order had shipped with the description of "non catalog item" . That means that they took what I hope is the right mag tube to the PO. The PO shipped it 2 day express on Mon, and the est arrival is Thurs. Still want govt controlled health care?
