A few months ago I purchased a "for parts" Winchester Model 1894 chambered in .32 Winchester Special. The serial number dates the rifle to 1951.
The wood is pretty much gone. There is heavy putting on the barrel, but not so much on the receiver. With one critical exception the action is articulatable. That critical exception is the Breech Bolt. It is positioned about 1/4" "open", but will not move ar all. I'm doing pretty good removing rust, but just can't free the Breech Bolt up. I don't see any ammunition inside the action. Any suggestions as to how I can free the action?
