My first rifle was a 1962 model 94. I bought it new and hunted for 2 years with it. It was horribly inaccurate and prone to malfunction. My grandfather gave me his old rifle that was marked 30 govt 06. I recently gave it to my grandson. I sold the model 94 after 3 years. No regrets.
Glad you enjoy the stories. I view my channel as 3 parts... informative/educational, hopefully somewhat entertaining and third a bit of preservation of history.
