Unknown Winchester 94 Chamber????
Chamber looks to be for a straight wall, standard belted cartridge, not a 450 marlin belt. No markings on barrel. .458 bore. Any ideas?
Many years ago, Rifle magazine......
.......had an article detailing a fellow's conversion of one of the fat sided Big Bore 94 receivers to .458 American. I can't think of anything else it might be.

That would be really cool!!!
i had one of those, actually the very one in the article
john traister was the author and builder. i eventually rechambered it to the 450 marlin, an easy conversion and sold it off to a friend up here who says it is his favorite rifle.
Best you do a chamber cast
of that thing.....just to make damn sure what it is.
very good advice.
Not mine yet but working on it. If i dowind up with it a
chamber cast WILL be the first order of business.
Cool indeed!!

The shortened .458's have long held my fancy. Not sure what I want to do with them nor what I want to shoot them out of but it sounds like fun.
