Description:
EXCELLENT CONDITION SPECIAL ORDER 1894 .32-40 ROUND BARREL HALF MAGAZINE RIFLE, MADE 1908, most people don’t know this, but one reason some of the more astute and knowledgeable riflemen of the day ordered their tubular magazine lever action rifles with a half magazine is because they knew this combination was typically more accurate than full magazine rifles and carbines- has to do with shifting weight in the magazine tube that hangs from the barrel. A full magazine will affect the barrel in one way and as each successive cartridge is levered into the action this changes the vibrations/weight of the mag tube on the barrel. Keep the mag tube inside the forend with nothing hanging off the rest of the barrel and the result is usually smaller and more consistent groups downrange. That’s why almost all of Theodore Roosevelt’s special order deluxe Winchesters had half magazines. Little known fact, anyway, this example shows fine blue on the barrel and receiver with only normal light age and thinning mostly toward the edges and bottom, exc. blue on bolt and still retains some fine blue on the upper tang, exc. bore that could use a good clean, exc. screws, flat top buckhorn rear sight with small blade/brass bead front sight, exc. wood with only light handling marks and tight wood to metal fit. The .32-40 is the scarcest and most desirable caliber in the Model 1894. This is a fine special order example.
