Only option is to build it up with weld and work it down?. The "teat" on the link seems to be too short to hold the shells in the mag,it really doesn't look worn or broken though, and according to several sources this part has been discontinued. 357,s, still jamed, loaded some CB reloads, jammed again, GRRRRR. Reinstalled it, loaded it up and fired again, jammed again, loaded. I had to take the cap off of the mag and empty the mag. First round went off great, second round,jamed, it seems the round in the chamber popped out and went under the lifter. I didn't shoot it for several years and got it out of my cabinet a year or so ago and loaded a mag full of new. This gun was and is now in about 99% cond, you would be hard pressed to find any flaws. You stick to your version and pay what you want for a Trapper, I will stick to mine and call it a closed discussion.I purchased a 94ae more than 10 years ago, used, planning to get into CB action, but that never happened. This is turning into a useless pizzing contest that isn't helping the Op at all. As far as I can tell, if it had a factory Big Loop it was a Wrangler.

The Trapper model was sold through its entire run (1980 to 2006) with a standard-size loop. While both the Trapper Model 94 and the Wrangler Model 94 sported 16-inch barrels, only the Wranglers ever had a factory Big Loop. The very next year, 1983, Winchester offered the first Wrangler Model 94, which was essentially a Trapper model with a Big Loop. The 1982 catalog copy said of the rifle, “A unique feature is the oversized bow on the lever, introduced by John Wayne in the movie ‘Stagecoach’ and popularized in all of his Western movies.” The catalog went on to say that the John Wayne Commemorative is being offered “in a limited edition of fifty thousand” rifles. That 1982 John Wayne rifle featured a pewter-plated receiver, Old-West engraving, 18.5-inch barrel and a distinctive Big Loop. Here’s the cover of the 1982 Winchester catalog depicting that special Big Loop rifle. The first modern factory Model 94 Big Loop I can find appeared on the John Wayne Commemorative Model 94 Carbine offered by Winchester in 1982 (I have every Winchester catalog from 1960 to 2008 and have used those catalogs as my source). The history of Big Loops on the Winchester Model 94 is interesting.
