Description:
FINE CONDITION 1894 .38-55 OCTAGON BARREL, FULL MAGAZINE RIFLE #109XXX. According to the serial number listings for the Model 1894 in the excellent series of Winchester books by George Madis, this serial number indicates a manufacture date of 1897. The barrel shows fine lightly aged blue with some normal wear to the high edges, mag tube shows fine even blue. The receiver also shows nice blue on the side panels and bolt that is thinning toward the outer edges with normal gray on the bottom, upper tang and receiver ring etc. Nice blue on the loading gate. Excellent screw heads still have about a hundred years of old grease and grime in them. Probably went back to the Winchester factory at some time for either cleaning or repairs as it has Winchester proof marks on the receiver ring and barrel which weren’t put on until about 1905- guns returned after that year were proofed before being shipped back. I have seen this often and it doesn’t add or detract from the rifle. Bore is bright and excellent, butt stock and forend show only light handling and very tight wood to metal fit, buckhorn rear sight with Lyman “Jack” front sight- half-moon with small ivory bead. Overall a fine early 1894 in a great caliber.
