Tang safety on M94 win?
Winchester announced that it will produce M94s (Trails End) in 25-35 as well as 38-55 this year. You all likely knew before me that the side-ways hammer block safety has been replaced by a top tang safety. My experience with the "hammer block" has not been positive, heavy trigger pull and surprises when the hammer falls and nothing happens. I'm interested in the new cartidge offerings but am still suspicious of the functioning. Any comments on the workings of the new safety arrangement are appreciated.

Tang safetys have been on the market for about a year. Work very well. Only problem is mounting a tang sight.

Phil, you are one up one me...I haven't heard of a new 30-30 cartrige. If you are talking about the 38-55, it is an old black powder cartrige that dates back to around 1890 or so...others here could probably quote the inventor/gunmaker that first brought it to market. At any rate it was one of the first cartidges offered in the Model 1894 Winchester in 1894. The other cartridge I mentioned for the Trails End is the 25-35 Winchester. It was brought to market as a sister cartridge to the 30-30 in 1895, both using smokeless powder. It was never too popular with the general public (compared to the 30-30). Winchester has not produced a rifle chambered for the 25-35 since the early 50s?. It should be interesting to see how the old girl does the second time around.
