I sort of gave up looking for this particular rifle. Saw them listed occasionally on gunbroker for ridiculous prices and could never find one at the many gunshows I've attended. This past weekend I attended our local (once every 4-6 month) gunshow and went by a table with a sign "private sales". That always grabs my interest. Well, low and behold, sitting on the table was a model 94, in good condition, (some bluing wear, but no rust). I asked for permission to examine and found it to be in .32 special. I checked the bore which was perfect and then asked "what's the price" expecting to hear a number that would dissuade me. The owner said $600.00. Hmmm. I told him I was somewhat interested. After some back and forth I walked out of the show $550.00 poorer. Did a clean up when I returned home and have to say the insides are perfect. The previous owner was a rancher who carried it but never used it. Once in awhile everything falls into place.
