Cartridge guides Win 94

[andym79]

Hi Guys I am looking to get one of my 94s re-barrelled from 30-30 to 25-35 or 219 Zipper.

Does anyone know if they will cycle fine through the action or does the 25-35 and 219 Zipper use a different cartridge guide?

I know that the 38-55 and 30-30 are interchangeable as I have tried.

The zipper concerns me more as the cartridge is of a different length than the other three!

G'day andym79,
Looks like you were forgotten out here in the boondocks! You won't have any problems cycling. The 219 was originally designed from the 30/30 case and is only 3/32" shorter. Both were available in the Model 64 lever action, and the Model 64 carrier has the same part number as the Model 94. I would love to see the results of chambering your '94 in 219, it was a very hot, and under-rated, round, Cheers.
