I agree with you Griff. As far as I am concerned PCing is just another option(an option I like a lot but just an option). I let the gun tell me what it likes and depending on what the bullet is being used for.

Re: 1951 Winchester 94 carrier blocks the loading gate

Old Win is much more of a Winchester man than I am so he is probably correct. Before disassembling the gun try a shot of lubricant at the “hinge point” of the carrier and the sides. Lubricant can do amazing things to old guns. If that doesn’t work I’ll give ya $50 for that old broken tomato stake :D
