c1949 mfr WINCHESTER Model 94 CARBINE .32 SPECIAL W.S. C&R Pre-1964 Swivels
Legendary Handy Rifle in .32 Winchester Special!
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 94 Lever Action Carbine in .32 Winchester Special, made in 1949 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.
In April 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production. So, prior to this date, the Model 94 would have been the Model 1894.
The overall condition is near fine. Original blue on the barrel and magazine tube with an old reblue on the receiver (the receiver being of a different steel and seeing much of the handling seems always to lose its finish faster than the rest of the metal parts). The action is excellent and the bore is very bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. Sling swivels are installed. This would still make a great gun for the field!
