Late 1940s WINCHESTER Model 94 FLAT BAND .30 WCF Lever Action CARBINE C&R
Classic Repeater Made Just After WORLD WAR II!
Here we present a Winchester Model 94 Flat Band Lever Action Rifle, made circa 1947-48 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.
In the 1920s Winchester changed the name of the Model 1894 to the Model 94. Somewhere around 1950, Winchester, at the other gunmakers persistence, bowed to them and renamed the cartridge fired here to .30-30, rather than the .30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire), obviously because the other makers didn’t like the Winchester name in the cartridge their rifles were firing.
This scarce “Flatband” name arises from the shape of the barrel band near the front sight. This flat shaped band was only used for a year or two circa 1947-48.
The overall condition is very good. Robust, crisp action. Original blue preserved. The bore is bright and rifled. Solid stock and fore end containing less than expected wear. Sharp markings (serial number is overstamped).
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 20 inches.
