I just purchased a Winchester Model 94 from the estate of a Catholic priest that passed away a couple months ago, actually the same day that the pope died. Does anyone have information on how old it might be? The serial number is 13219XX. Also would this rifle have come with a hood over the front sight? It looks like there is a groove for one. I only paid $100 for it even after offering way more. Before he died, he gave me an M1 Carbine and a 1903A3.
