Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: c1901 ½ Length Magazine WINCHESTER Model 1894 Rifle .32 WINCHESTER SPECIAL Round 26-Inch Barrel w Crescent Butt Plate Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1894 Lever Action Rifle, made in 1901 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. The .32 Winchester Special (or .32 WS) is a rimmed cartridge created in October 1901 for use in the Winchester Model 94 lever-action rifle. It is similar in name but unrelated to the .32-20 Winchester cartridge (which is also known as .32 WCF). This cartridge is based on the .30-30 Winchester cartridge of 1895, but differs from the .30-30 in bullet diameter. More significantly, Winchester decreased the rate of rifling twist in their Model 94 rifle, from 1:12 when chambered for the .30-30 to 1:16 when chambered for the .32 Winchester Special. Winchester used the slower twist to reduce fouling retention when creating a new cartridge for sportsmen who wanted to reload their own ammunition using black powder and cast bullets. This piece features a 26-inch round barrel with a half-length magazine underneath. Crescent butt plate. The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish. The walnut stock is in very nice condition, smooth and solid. The action is excellent. Nice bore with good rifling. A scarcer configuration than the standard 1894 Winchester!
