Col Del Rio Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Greetings All, 1. I have a 1991 Colt. Is there any restriction on using it for WB? I want to shoot traditional. It is stock except for wooden grips. 2. I have a Win 94 (45LC). I'd like to get a short stroke kit for this rifle. What are the better brands? Quote
Blackfoot Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 If the 1991 Colt doesn't have items or accessories that are not allowed, then it can be used in Wild Bunch traditional with no problem. Sorry, there is no short stroke available for a Winchester 94. If it is chambered for a caliber that is allowed in Wild Bunch just shoot it as is until you get ready to up-grade to a rifle that can be short stroked. Winchester and Uberti '73s along with '66s are the most common ones that are short stroked. Pistol must be .45 caliber and rifle .40 or larger in a pistol caliber. Blackfoot Quote
KingSnake Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Looking at Colts website it seems the 1991 has white dot sights. They would need to be blacked out or changed to be shot in Traditional category. KingSnake Quote

Garrison Joe Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 2. I have a Win 94 (45LC). I'd like to get a short stroke kit for this rifle. What are the better brands? Many folks have a Win 94 chambered for 45 Colt. Not a single one has ever reported that is it anything but balky and clunky when you try to run it fast. Surprise! It's a rifle length design that was modified to shoot pistol cartridges. Because it is so clunky, no gunsmiths I know of even want to do much tuning, let along try to figure out how to short stroke it. Would be like hotrodding a Rambler rather than starting with a Camaro or Mustang or deuce coupe. Results wouldn't be all that fast, and it won't look good either. Save that 94 for when you want to shoot Ruger level loads at pigs, bears or cats. Good luck, GJ Quote
Lone Dog Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I have always just used a Sharpie on the white dot sights. Gets right in there good. Shoe polish? HAR! Quote
