Classic Repeater Made Just After WORLD WAR II
Here we present a Winchester Model 94 Flatband Lever Action Rifle, made circa 1947-48 in New Haven, Connecticut. 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 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 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. 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.
The overall condition is near fine. Original finish has been preserved. Excellent action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. Very good, solid walnut stock.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 20 inches.
Caliber: .30 Winchester Center Fire (.30-30)
