How to replace a saddle ring on a Winchester 1894 |
|
Many saddle ring carbines have the ring removed. |
The stud is threaded into the receiver and can be removed (counter-clockwise) with a punch.
|
Or a square jawed wrench, if needed.
|
You can leave the carbine on the bench for now. |
Make sure your replacement saddle ring is dimensionally correct. Many aren’t. Ours are.
|
If the replacement ring is blued, youcan remove some of the blue with fine emery paper of steel wool.
|
Slip the stud onto the saddle ring.
|
Clamp the ring (stud attached) into your vise.
|
Clamp the vise until you just pass center, it will spring back a little.
|
Turn the ring down, and squeeze the two sides as tight as the vise willforce them.
|
Re-grip the ring in your vise, and use a brass punch to bring both sides straight.
|
There will be a slight gap in the ring.
|
Gripping the ring on an angle, tweak the ring . . .
|
a few times until it is straight…smooth.
|
|
Now you can remount the stud on the receiver.
|
Use a square jawed wrench to tighten.
