last fall i converted a friend's win. 94 in 30-30 to 38-55 .  he was shooting cast single shot so worked fine.  got the tang peep and everything .

now  he needs to go hog hunting, so needs to get the magazine feeding smoothly with long cast bullets.

the original cartridge guides for the 30-30 don't align the fatter 38 well especially with the longer bullets.  they don't let the brass rise enough in the back; mostly rim clearance vertically .

anybody got a photo of a 94 in 38-55 showing how much i need to mill off of the guides around the rim area ?

thanks , ken

I have converted a 94 to 38-55 using the original guides. Seem to remember removing a small amount of metal from the rear of the guides. I have both a 30-30 and the 38-55 I can look and get back too you. But I'll not have time until this weekend. LaMar
