Winchester 1894

[riley]

Can anyone tell me where I can find parts for a winchester model 1894 rifle,38/55 caliber, serial number 5906. I would like to restore it to its original condition. Thanks

Serial 5906, says first year production and therefore an antique. I would be very careful restoring it.

I am not an expert, but if you really have an antique, restoring it will destroy it's value.

Actual restoration never destroys the value of an antique. What destroys the value are changes which are not accurate to antique in question.

Adding replacement parts should be fine as long as you don't damage or alter the existing firearm components. It would also help if any patina they had matched the current condition of your rifle.

You should be able to find a ton of resources to repair this rifle:

It might be best to have a gunsmith who specializes in repairing/restoring Winchester 1894s do this work depending upon your skills and the estimated gun value.

What I'm really looking for is a barrel that came with these rifles. Some where along the line the barrel was switched to a 30 caliber. So I would like to get it back to the 38/55 caliber. Thanks for any help

No clue. Wish I could help. But can you post pics? I enjoy seeing old 94's.
