Description:
EXTREMELY RARE AND UNUSUAL 1894 .30 WCF RIFLE WITH EXTRA LIGHTWEIGHT HALF OCTAGON BARREL, FULL MAGAZINE, TAKEDOWN AND TRAP IN BUTT PLATE FOR CLEANING RODS! #753XXX, MADE 1914. The barrel is so thin at the muzzle that the front sight is correctly affixed to the barrel with a small ramp (standard for extra light barrels where a dovetail cut is not possible because the barrel wall is so thin) and the diameter of the barrel is actually considerably smaller than the mag tube! The trap in butt plate with brass sliding door as on a Model 1873 rifle was a very rarely ordered option on the Model 1894. The barrel and mag show most of the deep blue with only very minor ageing, receiver shows some bright blue in the center panels on each side with dulling blue/gray around the edges and gray on top, fine blue on the upper tang and in the protected areas around the hammer, tight takedown, fine+ wood is a bit fancier grain than standard in the butt stock that was typical of Winchesters ordered with special features, tight wood to metal fit, four-section cleaning rod in the butt plate trap, three leaf express rear sight with all leaves intact, correct small blade bead front sight, bright tight action exc. bore, I’m not sure I recall seeing an extra lightweight half octagon barrel before and certainly not a takedown model with full magazine and trap in butt plate! Unusual and possibly unique 104 year old Winchester!
