I saw an old Winchester 94 at me dealer's tonight and need some info on it. It is chambered for the .30 WCF which I guess is an older cartridge. Is this caliber still available anywhere or does it have a safe modern equivalent?

Also, does anyone know a source of data for a manufacturing date? It is serial number 950,XXX. I think it dates back somewhere before WWII, maybe earlier because it had a statement on the barrel to the effect that it was safe with modern smokeless powder, something I would think places it around the changeover from blackpowder to smokeless.

Any Winchester fans here who can help me get some info on this rifle? If it sounds good, I might just make it my next acquisition.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
