I have a Pre '64 Winchester 94 that has intermittent extraction problems and weak ejection. Does anyone have any recommendations of a qualified gunsmith in the OKC area?
Before you look for a gunsmith, you might examine the bolt. Weak extraction and ejection issues often are a result of weak extractor and ejector springs. Google “winchester 1894 bolt disassembly” and you should get hits on how to remove the bolt. It’s easy; I did that to the one ‘94 I have, and had the bolt out within 15 minutes. Now that I know how it’s done, I could probably get the bolt out in less than a minute.
Once it’s out, check and make sure the springs aren’t broken or just plain tired.

If you still need a GS, try Steve Baldwin in Jones 405-399-2875 or Keith Rainbow off 104th and S. Sunnylane 405-761-8312
+1 on this. Worst case scenario, you still have to pay a GS. Might as well YouTube your way through it.
Thanks for the input. I'll take a look at the bolt and go from there.
If you dont get it going and dont mind shipping, this guy worked on a pair of my Winchesters and I was happy with his work.

He is the 92 goto guy for Cowboy Action Shooters
Yep, he does nice work on them. I dropped the rifle off and got to play with some of his 92's...very slick stuff.
He worked on my 94 and 97.
