ANTIQUE Winchester Model 1894 LEVER ACTION Rifle
Made in 1897 in New Haven, Connecticut
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1897 in New Haven, Connecticut. The credit for the design of such a prolific firearm again lies with John Moses Browning, who lent his extensive design talents to a large number of weapon types throughout his career. The Model 1894 was the first Winchester rifle made for use with the new technology of smokeless powder and was developed as a hunting rifle. Over 7.5 million were produced from 1894 until 2006. While various cartridges were supported throughout the run of the gun, the .30-30 Winchester became its staple. In practical use, the Model 1894 became a favorite for general shooters and hunters alike. To this day, it remains a deer hunting favorite, and, in all likelihood, more deer have been taken with the 1894 than any other.
This Model 1894 features a 26-inch part-octagonal/round barrel chambered in .38-55 WCF, a great medium to large game cartridge. The barrel shape is something that would normally have been a special order feature. Given the Winchester proofs on the top, this rifle was almost certainly returned to the factory by the customer for special or custom updates. The top of the barrel is marked “MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A. PATENTED AUG. 21 1894”. The tang is marked “MODEL 1894/WINCHESTER/PAT. AUG. 21 1894”.
The overall condition is very good or better. The blue finish on the barrel is 85%. The markings are clear. The walnut stock is in great shape with a few handling marks. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The action is excellent. Here is an antique 1894 with neat special features!
