Just purchasted a new Win.'94 today after weeks of trying to decide between Win.(grew-up on Win.) and Marlin.Had to go with the Winnie,it just felt right,looked right,and came when I called it.Just curious;cannot find any reference as to warranty period on Winchesters website or in the catalog.Also,how picky are the factory boys if they recieve a gun with shiney parts inside,as I generally detail strip a new gun and clean,stone,and lube correctly.Thanks in advance and a big HOWDY to all at this great forum.
