A friend just gifted me an old Winchester 94 30/30 carbine that dates to 1956. Aside from a little rust on the receiver and the exterior of the barrel, it looks pretty good. It does look like it needs to come apart and get a thorough cleaning and oiling, and there are some good youtube videos that demonstrate the disassembly/reassembly, but I still have a few questions. I have yet to fire this rifle and I am concerned about what ammo to use or if it really matters-- I have never owned a lever action rifle before. From what I have read, I realize it is preferable to use round point bullets because of the possibility of recoil causing a round in the magazine to go off,, but other than that what are the limitations?

I thought the pre-64 models were pretty robust, but a friend said that pressures in some modern ammo can be too high for this gun. Is there anything to this? 2006 Harley Davidson Sportster Owners Manual download free.

If you are sure it is a.30 cal then any reputable brand of.30-30 Winchester center fire ammo (30WCF) will be fine (assuming the weapon has not had some other abuse). They made the Model 94 in several calibers --the correct one will be stamped on the barrel, next to the receiver.
