Description:
General Specs: Winchester, Year 1907, 38-55, 6lbs 15oz, LOP 13 1/4"
Serial Number: 377384

The Winchester Model 1894 was the first lever rifle able to fire the high-pressure smokeless powder that came with the .30-30 Winchester.  This semi-deluxe Winchester is chambered in the much more desirable and rare .38-55 caliber.  After the introduction of the .30 WCF (.30-30) in 1896 and the .32 WCF in 1906, almost all Winchester Model 1894 rifles were made in those two calibers.  There is a 25% premium paid for rifles chambered in .38-55 caliber.  It is a great round for medium-sized big game and ammunition is readily available to purchase.  This Model 1894 is a special order, semi-deluxe rifle ordered with fancy wood with a capped pistol grip, take-down feature, shotgun butt, 26” ½ round ½ octagon rapid-taper ultralight barrel, and a ½ length magazine tube. You can just imagine the look on the cowboy’s face when his new special-order Winchester arrived.  The gorgeous wood and fine factory finishes would bring jealous envy from all his family and friends.  This rifle, Sn377384 built in 1907 remains in excellent condition for its 113 years of age.  With about 80% metal and wood finish it is an attractive rifle.  The BORE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH STRONG RIFLING FROM THROAT TO MUZZLE WITH ONLY LIGHT FROSTING, so this rifle should be an excellent shooter.  The screws are all in near perfect condition and the action has been stripped to the smallest part, Ultrasonic cleaned, all parts scrubbed, inspected for function and integrity, lubricated, and reassembled, making this a VFI CERTIFIED GUN WITH A 90 DAY MECHANICAL WARRANTY.  The wood is solid and is highly figured French walnut, an option available upon request from Winchester.  All the lettering and stamps are clear and proper for the age of the gun.  Most early M1894 rifles are found in the more common calibers and with no “EXTRAS”.  A semi-deluxe Model 1894 rifle with many special-order features is something to take note of.  This is an opportunity for you to own a special-order Winchester with very desirable features that is a beautiful looking gun with a patina that matches the age of the rifle and is still a very viable hunting and plinking rifle with superb bore and mechanics.  .  This rifle weighs 6lbs. 15oz. with its 26” long extra light barrel, a pound lighter than a standard rifle and only a few ounces more than an 1894 carbine.  The value of collectible Winchester rifles  is derived from the scarcity and remaining condition, as well as special-order features and desirable calibers.  This rifle hits all the markers for value.  The Winchester Model 1894 is perfect for deer hunting in the wooded areas throughout the country and anywhere a true rifle is warranted.  Don’t miss out on your opportunity to own this fine Winchester.  Thanks for looking!
